The NRG Employee Relief Fund was created to help Charitable Class members who are in need of immediate financial assistance following an unforeseen disaster or personal hardship. The Fund relies on support from the sponsoring organization (NRG Energy, Inc) and individual donations made by NRG Energy, Inc's partners, employees, and/or the general public. Every donation makes a difference, no matter the amount, and combined with the donations of others, helps to provide grants when they are needed most.
Donations to the Fund can be made as one-time gifts or recurring periodic contributions. Various donation methods are available via the Donate buttons below.
