Community

At Summit Utilities, our commitment to the communities we serve is personal. Our team members live and work in our service areas—raising families, supporting local businesses, and helping deliver the reliable energy that thousands depend on.

By building strong local relationships and supporting economic development, we aspire to be more than a utility company. We’re neighbors, helping create a future where our communities don’t just grow, but thrive

Investing in Our Communities

Giving back is at the core of who we are. We support more than 330 local organizations—including nonprofits, schools, and industry groups—to create opportunities and help build vibrant communities.

For us, delivering reliable energy with safety and service in mind is just the beginning. The real work is delivering warmth where it matters most.

The United Way

We support The United Way’s mission to uplift communities and care for those in need. Many of our team members use their VTO hours to support United Way events, and our annual workplace giving program matches employee donations up to $25,000.

Local Foodbanks

We’re proud to support local food banks in their efforts to reduce food insecurity across the state. As one example, our team members participate in the Arkansas Foodbank’s annual Summer Cereal Drive, collecting boxes of cereal and monetary donations to support the nonprofit.

Area Chambers

We work with local chambers to share energy efficiency resources, promote available programs, and support economic development in the communities we serve.

Summit Believes in Supporting STEAM

(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics)

We believe that empowering students, teachers, and communities with knowledge in STEAM fields helps build a brighter future in today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world. By collaborating with local schools, educational institutions, and nonprofits, we support STEAM initiatives that inspire innovation and prepare the next generation to make a meaningful impact.
