What are Impact Investments?

Each Year, Gas South gives back 5% of profits to help support children in need—that’s millions of dollars annually toward this cause in the communities we serve. As part of that, we invite non-profits each year that focus on childhood basic needs, education and health to apply for Gas South donation money—our Impact Investments. After a committee carefully reviews the applicants, we narrow the list to six organizations. And then we invite customers to help us select the final two winners.

How do I take part?
