Xcel Energy Expands Giving, Supports Communities and Nonprofits in 2025

Over $14 million and nearly 60,000 volunteer hours contributed this year

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Xcel Energy employees, contractors and retirees, supported by the company’s Foundation, provided over $14 million and tens of thousands of volunteer hours in 2025 to support charitable organizations and causes.

Throughout the year, they embraced opportunities to donate their time and act on a shared commitment to making a difference in their communities, volunteering nearly 60,000 hours. The Foundation expanded its giving impact this year by investing nearly $5 million in grant funding to 400 nonprofit organizations across its eight-state service area. These grant recipients align with the Foundation’s three primary focus areas: STEM career pathways, community vitality and environmental sustainability.

The company’s 2025 Day of Service engaged 2,900 volunteers who committed nearly 8,900 hours to support 99 nonprofit projects. Among the many other impacts of these projects, volunteers packed 81,600 meals for hunger relief efforts in local communities and assembled 6,600 kits to support teachers and students during the school year. The Power Your Purpose Giving Campaign raised nearly $2.7 million to support 1,200 organizations.

The data provided here present a snapshot of community impact based on the majority of 2025 corporate giving and volunteering activities. Some giving and volunteering efforts are still being tabulated. Final totals will be available in Xcel Energy’s 2025 Annual Report this spring.
