When the St. Louis Blues score, kids' charities score. Ameren Missouri donates $500 for every power play goal the Blues score, at home or away, during the regular season. Then fans vote on which local charity will benefit from the donation. The Super Sam Foundation received $31,500 from this program, helping them provide care packages for children with cancer and their families.
In August 2022, Ameren Missouri, in partnership with the Arts and Education Council, announced the recipients of the inaugural AmerenCares Equity in the Arts Philanthropic Grant Program. In total, 15 grant recipients were awarded a total of nearly $150,000.
About the Program
This program works to provide funding to historically underrepresented and underfunded nonprofit organizations that are racially and ethnically diverse. The AmerenCares Equity in the Arts grants are an intentional effort to expand awareness of the importance of diversity in the arts, arts performance and arts educational programs throughout our service territory in Missouri.
The future of the energy industry depends on today’s students. Ameren offers resources to help teachers and parents teach kids about energy, so they can grow up to be more informed consumers and perhaps spark an interest in a career in energy. Energy education programs help kids understand how electricity works, how to be safe around electricity and natural gas, and easy ways they can conserve energy at home.
