At Summit Natural Gas of Maine, we believe we’re only as strong as the communities we serve. That’s why we’ve long supported local, community-based nonprofit organizations across the Summit Natural Gas of Maine’s service territory.
In 2023, we leveled up our commitment by adopting a more philanthropic approach to giving. Our current charitable giving grant cycle spans 2023–2025, with a focus on making a multi-year impact. This approach provides grant recipients with a guaranteed income stream, allowing them to plan for the long term and concentrate more on delivering vital services and less on fundraising.
We are currently in our 2023–2025 grant cycle and are not accepting new charitable giving applications in 2025.
We’ll be back! In 2026, we’ll have updates on our Summit Cares Charitable Giving Grant Program, along with details on when and how to apply.
