“I am proud to share that the DP&L Foundation continues to be the largest corporate foundation in the Miami Valley, and every dollar stays local fostering an engaged, vibrant, welcoming region that is seen as a great place to live and work,” said Director of Community and Social Responsibility Holly Wiggins. “Our grants support programs and capital improvements that create positive impacts in our communities, drive lasting economic growth, improve education, and provide essential services to the Dayton region.”
