Discover How Cascade Natural Gas Is Energizing Communities in Washington

Cascade Natural Gas: Energizing Washington Communities

Community is at the heart of what we do at Cascade Natural Gas Corporation. It’s more than just providing energy; it’s about enriching lives and fostering growth in the neighborhoods we serve. As part of the MDU Resources Group, our commitment is encapsulated in our vision: "Energizing Lives for a Better Tomorrow." This philosophy encourages us to actively support local organizations that excel in education, health, arts, and cultural initiatives.

Making a Real Difference: Our Commitment

In the past five years, our dedication has materialized into over $292,250 in grants awarded to non-profit organizations throughout Washington. Importantly, it’s essential to note that these grants do not tap into ratepayer funds—demonstrating our commitment as responsible corporate citizens. These resources help foster scholarships, support United Way initiatives, and boost cultural programs that enhance the daily lives of citizens.

Building Bridges Through Employee Engagement

Our impact goes beyond financial support; it's about the people behind Cascade Natural Gas—our employees. Actively engaged in the community, our employees volunteer countless hours supporting food banks, youth programs, and local environmental efforts. The MDU Resources Foundation’s Employee Match program is an innovative initiative encouraging this volunteerism, granting funds to nonprofits where our employees dedicate their time and effort.

Highlighting Key Beneficiaries in Our Community

As a proud contributor to community welfare, we're honored to support key organizations like Columbia Basin Community College and Perry Technical Institute in Yakima. These institutions play a vital role in facilitating education and vocational training, contributing to the region’s future workforce. Additionally, Columbia Industries in Kennewick stands out as a recipient of our funding, enhancing services that aid the vocational and life skill development of individuals with disabilities.

Our Vision for a Sustainable Future

As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: to foster opportunity and growth within our communities. By supporting essential services and investing in educational programs, we nurture a healthier and more vibrant Washington. We encourage residents to get involved and support local initiatives as well, ensuring that our communities not only thrive but also remain a welcoming environment for all.

In conclusion, at Cascade Natural Gas, we recognize that our role extends beyond delivering energy; we are dedicated to energizing lives and empowering communities. Together, we can continue to make Washington a better place for everyone.
