PPL's employee giving campaign raises $10 million to improve lives and strengthen communities

ALLENTOWN, Pa., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PPL Corporation employees and retirees, together with matching contributions from PPL's affiliated foundations, pledged $10 million during PPL's annual employee-led charitable giving campaign. These contributions will support more than 500 local nonprofit organizations in communities served by PPL's utilities, with local United Ways helping to ensure funds are directed to areas of greatest need.

"I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together," said Vince Sorgi, president and chief executive officer of PPL Corporation, which serves more than 3.6 million customers in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Rhode Island and Virginia. "Reaching $10 million is more than a milestone, it is a powerful reflection of the kindness, generosity and shared purpose that define this company. Every donation, every hour of service, every act of compassion has helped strengthen the communities we call home." 

The record-setting total was raised through the company's annual Power of One employee giving campaign and matching contributions by PPL's affiliated foundations. The funds will help sustain critical programs that meet the rising needs of thousands of people who depend on United Way agencies and other nonprofit organizations for essential services every day.

Employees and retirees from PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries – PPL Electric Utilities, Rhode Island Energy, Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company – contributed to the campaign. In addition, more than 1,000 employees volunteered their time in September 2025 during PPL's companywide Day of Caring events, directly supporting organizations within their local communities.

"Today, we have 10,000,000 reasons to say thank you for PPL's unparalleled leadership and support," said Marci Lesko, president and chief executive officer of United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, which is where PPL's headquarters is located. "This extraordinary act of generosity directly improves the lives of well over 100,000 people in the Greater Lehigh Valley, and I know I speak for just one region that PPL supports. Through employee and retiree giving and support from PPL's foundations, PPL's decades-long partnership with United Way powers deep and transformative impact in every community that we serve together."
