Strengthening Our Communities Through Volunteering and Stewardship
Through our charitable giving and volunteerism, we’re committed to strengthening the communities where we live and work. Our contributions focus on supporting, economic mobility, environmental stewardship and community enrichment.
We are intentionally focused on being a catalyst for positive impact in our communities and environment. That’s why we fund the good works of nonprofit partners that advance lives across Georgia. For example, in 2024 we gave $1 million to the American Red Cross to help bring its Community Adaptation Program to Chatham County, an area more at risk of the adverse impacts of natural disasters than 99% of all U.S. counties. CAP partners with trusted, local organizations specializing in health, hunger and housing to build resilience and mitigate the impact of disaster-caused displacement on the region’s most vulnerable populations.
Giving our time is another one of the many ways we honor our promise to support and uplift our communities. Our internal site, myIMPACT, makes finding volunteer opportunities easy. Through employee resource groups like EverGreen and annual volunteer campaigns called Energy to Serve and Energy to Give, we’ve planted pollinator gardens, cleaned up waterways and run food, clothes and school supply drives to meet the urgent needs of our local communities. In 2024, more than 260 Atlanta Gas Light employees gave over 1,400 hours in service to local nonprofits.
