Regional Partnerships

In addition to conducting its own programs, Dominion works with non-profit partners to support a variety of state, regional and local community endeavors.

Cooling Assistance

In Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, Dominion works with agencies on aging to provide fans and air-conditioners for those on fixed or low incomes, whose health would otherwise suffer during hot summer months. The programs include Fan Care in Virginia and donations to the North Carolina Division of Aging. For more details, e-mail us or call (804) 771-4414.

Virginia
For more than a decade Dominion Virginia Power has sponsored Fan Care, a cooling assistance program in partnership with the Virginia Department for the Aging and Wal-Mart. Fan Care provides fans free of charge to the elderly poor. The Dominion Foundation contributes annually to Area Agencies on Aging to administer the program. Agencies may also use a portion of allocated funds to purchase air conditioners for seniors with more serious health problems. For information on how to apply in Virginia, call 1-800-552-3402.
