Giving Guidelines

We exist to help fuel the quality of life in our communities

We direct our community investments to communities that fall within our service areas, across Ontario, Ohio, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, North Carolina, and Wexpro. Like many organizations, we receive numerous funding requests and in order to make a significant impact on our communities, we have a focused giving program.

Focus areas

We invest in qualified organizations and programs that promote:

Safe communities

At Enbridge Gas, nothing is more important than safety — it’s at the heart of everything we do. For us, it’s about more than our operational safety; it’s also about the safety of the communities where we live and work.

Building Strong Communities: Investment Criteria

Enbridge Gas’ community investments are guided by a core set of criteria. We consider donation and sponsorship opportunities in the communities within our operational footprint:

Of prime importance to the community
Beneficial to the greatest possible number of people
Significant to the long-term interests of the community
Supportive of one of our three core areas that we view as integral for a sustainable community

How many people will benefit from the event or program?
How would our support impact the overall budget of the event or program?
What other sponsors are participating and in what way?

Will there be a lasting impact because of this sponsorship?
How will our support be profiled such as, speaking opportunities or volunteering?

Please note: Meeting Enbridge Gas' core set of community investment criteria does not guarantee funding. Despite our significant investment in communities, we are unable to support all worthy, well-qualified organizations. Criteria may vary by location.
