Our
community partners
We fund
projects and focus our philanthropic efforts in three major
areas-energy, education and environment-in order to directly
enhance the quality of life where our customers and employees
live and work.
Energy
Our work with many charitable organizations is
tied directly to the use of natural gas in the community.
For example, we generate the HeatShare family emergency fund
in partnership with the Salvation Army to assist people with
their energy bills, and we help payment-troubled customers
through a variety of assistance programs.
Education
Although we cannot contribute to a school's administrative
budget, we help fund a variety of specific programs in those
schools that are part of our partnerships program. For instance,
contributions to partner schools can help pay the cost of
energy-related field trips or help bring computers into the
classroom.
Environment
Columbia Gas of Virginia is proud of its environmental
record and supports organizations that promote efficient energy
delivery, as well as organizations that help protect our land,
air and water resources. Examples include the American Lung
