More about Community.

Commitment to Nonprofits

SCG and CNG‘s commitment to the community is something you can take to the bank, like the Connecticut Food Bank and the Diaper Bank, two of the hundreds of nonprofit organizations we support through grants and donations. Our companies also partner with Operation Fuel to help those having difficulty paying their energy bills. You can help too, by adding $1 to your monthly bill. See how you can partner with UIL to help those in need by visiting the SCG or CNG websites, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Proud To Be Part of Our Community

Whether it’s reading to local school children, running long-distance for a good cause, cleaning up a riverbank or giving to charities, UIL’s employees are proud to be part of the communities we serve.

Here are a few of the things they’ve been up to:

UIL Employee Giving Campaign Breaks Company Donation Record

The UIL Holdings Corporation announced that its 2015 Employee Giving Campaign raised $397,117, a record tally that will help hundreds of nonprofit organizations serve their clients and communities.

Employees donated $271, 701 during the two-week campaign in September. UIL matched that amount 50 cents on the dollar for qualifying nonprofits, bringing the total to $397,711. That total is $12,000 more than 2014 and the most ever raised by the campaign. Since 2008, UIL Employee Giving Campaign has raised nearly $1.8 million.

Donors came from all of the UIL operating companies: The United Illuminating Company, The Southern Connecticut Gas Company, Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation and The Berkshire Gas Company.

UIL Foundation Donates $50,000 to Fair Haven Community Health Center

The UIL Holdings Corporation Foundation today announced a $50,000 grant to support expansion of the Fair Haven Community Health Center’s midwifery program, enabling more women and their newborns to achieve a healthy start in life while reducing the risks of premature births.

The donation from the UIL Foundation specifically supports Fair Haven Community Health Center (FHCHC) Birthing Partner Program, which is expanding to 50 Grand Avenue in New Haven. The Center’s nurse midwives deliver between 100 to 150 babies annually at the Yale-New Haven Hospital.  FHCHC is the only one of the 15 federal health centers in Connecticut where nurse midwives accompany expecting mothers to the hospital and deliver babies.

UIL Holdings Foundation Gives $25,000 To Build New Ronald McDonald House

The UIL Holdings Corporation Foundation this month announced a $25,000 grant to support the construction of a new Ronald McDonald House to be built directly across from Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital, helping to give more families a place to stay while their children are receiving care at the hospital.
