National Fuel Gas Company Foundation
Contributing to Our Communities
In 2004, National Fuel formed the National Fuel Gas Company Foundation, a 501(c)(3) private foundation funded entirely by shareholders, to better establish our commitment to the community.
The foundation strives to fund innovative programs, initiatives and, on rare occasions, special events that fall within the pillars of National Fuel’s community giving policies and promise to advance strong, vibrant and stable communities. These pillars, or focus areas, include:
Veteran Services
Education
Community Vitality/Economic Impact
The Underserved/Economically Disadvantaged
Employees Give Back
In 2005, the Employee Charitable Giving Program was formed to better align our charitable support with the wishes of our employees. This program is similar to a matching gift program. Employees may choose to designate funds toward 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, and the foundation will match those funds up to an annual dollar limit.
Since the incorporation of the Employee Charitable Giving Program, National Fuel, our employees and the Foundation have given more than $21 million to more than 800 charitable organizations throughout the U.S. For more information, view our most recent Form 990-PF.
