Boardwalk is proudly committed to the communities we serve. Many of our company's officers and employees serve on boards of local community organizations, participate in fund-raising, and volunteer for local nonprofit groups. We encourage our employees to participate in community organizations, projects and initiatives. We also encourage charitable giving to these causes, and we match each employee’s donation dollar for dollar up to a specified amount to an eligible organization.

Education Grant

To advance educational opportunities for local elementary and middle school students, Boardwalk has evolved its Education Grant program.

Rather than requiring an application process, we will automatically provide an annual grant of $500 to every elementary and middle school located on property where Boardwalk operates its pipeline systems. This direct support is designed to furnish schools with essential resources for equipment, special programs, or other education-driven initiatives, ensuring they have what they need to foster a rich learning environment for their students each year.

"Boardwalk is committed to enriching the communities we serve by investing in our future leaders. Our Education Grant program supports this commitment by empowering local schools with resources to enhance learning and inspire students. We're proud to support educational endeavors that pave the way for a brighter tomorrow."
