Entergy Corporation, an integrated energy company, has announced it is accepting applications online for the company's ninth annual Environmental Stewardship Grant program. This program provides support to community-based projects that address energy efficiency and provide sustainable solutions to preserve the environment.

Priority is placed on projects in locations where Entergy has customers and/or employees, especially portions of Arkansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, Texas, and Vermont.

Applicants must be an established organization with a mission or charter consistent with improving the environment, and must also have 501c3 status. Projects should improve or address a significant environmental need in the region. This year, Entergy has increased the total amount of grant money available by 40 percent to $350,000, up from $250,000 in 2007. While grants typically range between $5,000 and $25,000 each, more may be awarded for worthy projects.
