Giving Back To Our Service Territory

While we seek to support a wide range of community activities, donations will generally be made to those non-profit groups that have the greatest opportunity for positively affecting the communities we serve and are focused in one of the following categories:

• EDUCATION: Donations to education will primarily be made through university system foundations and scholarship programs. Donations will also be made in support of local colleges, and special primary and secondary education programs in the fields of science, technology, math, and youth leadership.
• HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES: Donations will be considered for organizations serving human needs such as the United Way, youth homes and special community health and safety needs. Donations will generally not be made to national health organizations or for medical equipment or research funds.
• CIVIC AND COMMUNITY: Donations will be considered for civic improvement, special events, and youth and senior citizen organizations.
• CULTURE AND THE ARTS: Donations will be considered for local museums, libraries, cultural centers and the performing arts.
• RESOURCE CONSERVATION: Donations will be considered for requests regarding environmental preservation including habitat, fish and wildlife protection.
