Our mission to a power a cleaner, brighter future for South Jersey is only strengthened when we join forces with others who share that vision. Through our partnership with Sustainable Jersey, we’re empowering local municipalities with the resources to drive their projects focused on open space preservation, park enhancements and emergency preparedness in our region.     

This year, we awarded $35,000 in Sustainable Community Grants to seven organizations, helping them to provide emergency services, create new trails, educate the community, and provide more access to clean water.
