Ingalls Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII), announced on October 26, 2026 from Pascagoula, Miss., that it has awarded grants to nine local nonprofits and community-based organizations as part of its 2026 Community Partner Grant program. The awards total $20,000 in direct community investment intended to strengthen programs that benefit local communities.

Grant Recipients and Company Comments

This was the fourth annual round of the program. Eight of the nine recipients are in Mississippi: Back Bay Mission, Caiden's Corner, Children's Advocacy Centers of Mississippi, Extra Table, Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence, Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum, Mississippi Aquarium and Pink Heart Funds. The ninth, Dearborn YMCA, is in Alabama.

The release does not state individual award amounts for the recipients.

Lisa Bradley, stakeholder engagement manager at Ingalls Shipbuilding, said the grant program is an opportunity for Ingalls to fund organizations in ways that make them more capable of the important work they do along the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast. She said the organizations are tasked with achieving missions that deeply affect the community, and that Ingalls wants to be part of building that foundation for them.

Ingalls Shipbuilding is the largest manufacturing employer in Mississippi and is deeply invested in the communities where its employees live and work. The company said it is committed to strengthening people and communities by maintaining safe workplaces, investing in workforce development and education, and delivering high-quality ships to the U.S. Navy.

Aguillard as the media contact.

Why This Could Matter

The grants relate to the community engagement priorities Ingalls has stated, including support for the places where its employees live and work. The release presents the $20,000 as direct community investment and does not connect it to financial results, contracts or shipbuilding programs. Bradley's comments describe the grants as a way of building a foundation for local organizations, and the company said it remains committed to strengthening people and communities.

Closing Summary

Ingalls Shipbuilding's 2026 Community Partner Grants distributed $20,000 among nine organizations in Mississippi and Alabama in the program's fourth year.
