The EQT Foundation has awarded nearly $80 million to nonprofits throughout the operational footprint of EQT Corporation. The EQT Foundation has developed strong partnerships with a variety of nonprofit organizations to enrich the viability of the communities, sustain the principles of continuous learning, train the future workforce and preserve the natural resources.
They believe in meaningful engagement with the communities they call home and they take great pride in being responsible and responsive corporate citizens. Through a practice of trust-based philanthropy, they focus the resources on areas that have a direct effect on the stability of communities and, in turn, contribute to the success of business operations in those areas.
Funding Priorities
The EQT Foundation’s funding strategy endorses organizations and programs that directly impact the community and its residents. The EQT Foundation also seeks evidence of:
- Geographic setting that aligns with EQT Corporation’s business locations
- Ability to manage available resources effectively
- Outreach that gains solid public recognition and support for the nonprofit, its programs and sponsors.
Focus Areas
- Community Enrichment
- Encourage the development of diverse, safe, healthy and sustainable communities, which can help to retain residential, commercial and economic growth.
- Education & Workforce
- Promote proficiency in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) topics for youth, as well as training programs to create a future skilled workforce.
- Environmental
- Support the preservation of natural resources, and educate children, residents and businesses to employ conservation techniques to minimize adverse impacts on the environment.
- Nonprofit Capacity Support
- Starting in June 2024, the EQT Foundation offered a round of capacity grants to nonprofits that fall within the funding priorities and geography covered by the Foundation. Applicants were able to request up to $25,000 for a project that builds capacity within their organization – whatever is needed to bring a nonprofit to the next level of operational, programmatic, financial or organizational maturity, so it may more effectively and efficiently advance its mission into the future.
Funding Information
The average grant awarded by the EQT Foundation is $15,000.
