EnCana gives to Sublette County and Wyoming
More than $900,000 in charitable contributions in 2005
December 20, 2005
Most of us don’t realize how much behind the scenes generosity is being done by the big oil and gas companies operating in Sublette County and across Wyoming. Yes, these companies are making a lot of money pulling natural gas and oil out of the ground on federal energy leases. It says a lot for these big companies whose employees are actively integrating into the local communities and for the corporate offices that are making generous donations and grants to organizations in need throughout Wyoming.
In 2005, EnCana Oil and Gas (USA) Inc, donated over $903,000 in grants as part of community investments in Wyoming. They contributed over $234,000 to Sublette County causes, $224,775 to Sweetwater County organizations, $119,250 to Fremont County and over $325,000 to other Wyoming charitable causes.
EnCana Community Relations Advisor Randy Teeuwen said, "EnCana strives to make a positive difference in the communities where we live and operate. Whether it’s expanding education or donating to the local Christmas food drive, we’re committed to being good corporate neighbors and strengthening the economic and social well being of our communities."
EnCana gave us a three-page list detailing their charitable community investments in Wyoming this past year, which didn’t include the matching gift contributions. We commend EnCana for their support of worthy causes and organizations throughout Wyoming and their willingness to become actively involved in our local communities.
