National Grid

Since 2017, First Book and National Grid have provided brand-new, diverse books and STEM resources to key communities in New York and Massachusetts. National Grid is committed to having a positive impact on the environment and ensuring no one in our communities gets left behind as we work towards a clean, fair and affordable energy future. Through our strategic partnership, National Grid expands its reach to connect with young people who can greatly benefit from these programs. In 2023, National Grid served as a sponsor of First Book’s #BlackBooksAllYear initiative, funding the purchase of books on Black history, characters, and culture for the First Book Network. Starting in 2024, we’re expanding our focus on Diversity in STEM, bringing books and National Grid employees into middle and high school classrooms to inspire young minds about diverse careers in STEM fields.
