NJR’s focus on corporate responsibility has long had an emphasis on the people and communities we serve. Community investment has been a core value of our company since the formation of New Jersey Natural Gas seven decades ago. Over the years, we have worked with our nonprofit community partners to provide financial support with a focus on mentorship, education, environmental protection, housing, health and wellness, and economic opportunity. In addition to financial support, our employees and retirees have contributed countless hours of volunteer service to support local causes. To sustain our local community efforts and help achieve greater progress moving forward, NJR has endowed our charitable foundation with nearly $20 million to support this work long into the future. These resources will enable our foundation to focus on medium- and long-term partnerships to drive outcomes that make a difference for local communities, the environment, and our most vulnerable customers.
