Community Support

Charitable Contributions

CL&P is dedicated to the vitality of the communities we serve. Our corporate contributions are focused on supporting our communities to make a positive difference. We partner with local organizations primarily engaged in three areas of focus:

• Economic and community development
• Environmental leadership and stewardship
• Workforce development and education

Our parent company, Northeast Utilities, supports larger, regional projects through the Northeast Utilities Foundation.

As a company with operations throughout Connecticut, we think it is also important to support health and human service and arts and culture organizations. We do this through our corporate support of United Way, as well as our partnership with the Greater Hartford Arts Council.

Finally, we support our employees as they donate their time and talents to a wide variety of organizations, from volunteer fire departments to local Parent Teachers Associations (PTAs) to chambers of commerce. CL&P provides this support through its Dollars for Doers program.

Volunteerism

Hundreds of CL&P employees take the time to give back to the communities in which they live and work. We have employees who volunteer as firefighters, scout leaders, tutors and coaches. Others are active on boards of education, alumni associations and chambers of commerce. Many are members of lodges, Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs) and theater groups.

Education

CL&P supports education initiatives through employee engagement and partnerships.
