At Southwest Gas, giving back to the communities we serve has been ingrained in our company culture since day one.
FUEL for LIFE was introduced six years ago as a way for our employees to contribute to local non-profit organizations either by making a one-time gift or via ongoing payroll deduction. Since its inception, employees have responded enthusiastically by pledging an incredible $9.69 million that provided direct financial support to non-profit organizations throughout the company’s service territory. Countless lives have been positively impacted by the generosity of Southwesters, and we plan on continuing that legacy.
