Community Involvement

We proudly support our communities and employees by offering a variety of programs that encourage active involvement and meaningful contributions.

Community Programs

Volunteerism: We value our employees’ active participation in their local communities and recognize that their time and talents enhance the communities where they live and work. Volunteer projects are encouraged throughout the year as well as during our annual month-long volunteer effort-Helping Hands in Action.
Volunteer Grants: At Spectra Energy, we strive to be a good corporate citizen and neighbor by recognizing the important contribution our employees and retirees make toward achieving this goal. We encourage employee and retiree involvement through Spectra Energy Foundation funding of volunteer grants that improve the operation of local U.S. nonprofit agencies and Canadian registered charitable organizations serving the needs of our communities.
United Way: We are proud to provide a dollar-for-dollar corporate match for our employees’ contributions to our annual United Way campaign. This match serves as Spectra Energy’s support of health and human service organizations in our communities and recognizes the generosity of our employees to the company campaign.

Matching Gifts Program: We are also pleased to support the generosity and community involvement of employees and retirees by offering the Spectra Energy Matching Gifts Program, which provides matching funds to the qualified charitable organizations employees and retirees personally support.
Spectra Energy Scholars Program: The Spectra Energy Scholars Program provides college scholarships for qualifying high school senior dependents of our employees and retirees. We place a great deal of value on education and think it makes good business sense to support the educational endeavors of our own children.
