Summit Natural Gas of Maine recently announced a multi-year community giving grant program for non-profit organizations that operate in Summit’s service area.
Through the company’s charitable giving program, Summit Cares, chosen qualifying non-profit organizations will receive a guaranteed three-year grant that can be used to launch programs that strengthen the social fabric of the communities Summit serves. The purpose of the program is to provide sustained support for ongoing charitable programs while building lasting relationships between Summit and community organizations.
“Summit is committed to forming meaningful partnerships in the areas we serve, and community giving is one way we strive to enrich the lives of our customers,” said Fred Kirkwood, Chief Customer Experience Officer for Summit, according to a news release from the company. “It’s our honor to provide Summit Cares grant funding to these hard-working organizations.”
Interested non-profits must fill out an online application. The giving grant program will focus on supporting non-profit organizations with interests in human needs, education, community vitality and environmental stewardship. When applicable, the grantees will be paired with volunteer efforts from Summit team members.
Applications will be accepted until June 30. A Summit team member-led review committee will review the applications and announce the grant recipients in July. Applicants will be limited to not-for-profit status organizations in the Summit service area.
