Better to Give Than Receive? Our Corporate Contributions Committee Thinks So

Community Involvement

Apr 19, 2010  Comment

Yukon Energy employees with food donations for the Whitehorse Food BankYukon Energy’s primary responsibility is to provide safe, reliable and affordable electricity to Yukoners. However as a Yukon business we also have a role to play in helping to build and maintain healthy, vibrant communities.

That’s why, last year alone, we gave more than $75-thousand to over 45 non-profit groups based in the Yukon.

 
Any organization seeking sponsorship must prepare a request for funding and submit it to Yukon Energy’s Corporate Contributions Committee. In order be eligible for money, the group must be registered as a non-profit organization in the territory.
 
Since there are always more requests than there is money, the applications are weighed against certain criteria:
 
· Does it align with Yukon Energy’s values and mandate?
· Will the event or project benefit the community at large?
· Will it benefit youth and/or the underprivileged?
· Is the event or project in one of our service areas?
· How will Yukon Energy be publicly recognized for our contribution?
