The Republic Services Charitable Foundation team is excited to announce the 14 nonprofit organizations selected to receive 2026 National Neighborhood Promise® (NNP) grants.
What is the NNP Program?
The Foundation’s NNP program supports nonprofit organizations in communities where Republic Services customers and employees live and work. Through monetary donations and volunteer efforts, the program is designed to build community and foster stronger, more sustainable neighborhoods.
“At Republic Services, we support communities in ways that make a lasting positive impact for our neighbors,” said Elena G., Director of Community Investment. “Our nonprofit partners are leading positive change in our neighborhoods, and we aim to help foster stronger, more resilient communities.”
