Our Approach and Guidelines for Charitable Giving 

At Summit Utilities, we believe we’re only as strong as the communities we serve. That’s why we proudly support local nonprofit organizations across the Summit Utilities service area. Our commitment to community runs deeper than energy—it’s part of who we are. We’re honored to walk alongside organizations that spark hope, open doors, and nurture brighter futures. 

Through our Summit Cares program, we focus our support on four key areas where we can make the most meaningful impact: meeting essential needs, enriching community life, protecting our environment, and inspiring curiosity through STEAM education.
