Iroquois' mission involves delivering clean natural gas while simultaneously engaging and supporting their pipeline host communities. They focus on initiatives that preserve environmental heritage and enhance passive recreational opportunities. Their commitment extends beyond energy provision to include fostering community development and environmental stewardship through unique funding programs.
The Iroquois Community Grant Program aims to provide lasting benefits to communities where Iroquois' facilities are located, with a history of funding projects that enhance environmental preservation, create recreational parks, and support historic and cultural endeavors. Since its inception in 1991 and through subsequent programs like LPEP and LEAF, Iroquois has supported over 300 projects including land preservation and the creation of new parks. Launched in 2007, the current grant program expands its support to include historic preservation, arts, and culture, alongside its traditional focus on environmental and recreational initiatives. Grants range from $2,500 to $10,000, targeting projects that promise long-term benefits. Primary funding areas encompass environmental initiatives and passive recreation, with secondary focus areas including historic preservation, civic and community projects, as well as targeted arts and culture. The program prioritizes proposals that align with its mission and criteria for positive community impact.
