Many are familiar with Southwest Gas’ services. But the Company does more than provide safe and reliable energy service to homes and businesses — it is fueling purpose.
Rooted in a culture of safety and service, Southwest Gas is committed to strengthening the communities it serves, providing reliable natural gas service and meaningful investments in people, partnerships, and possibilities.
Headquartered in Nevada, Southwest Gas has taken a hands-on role in building resilient communities. Across its three-state service territories, in 2024, the Southwest Gas Foundation contributed over $2.17 million to nonprofit organizations, supporting initiatives from workforce development to food insecurity and housing stability. Employees matched that generosity through FUEL for LIFE, the employee giving program, pledging more than $2.4 million last year. Since 2012, employees have contributed over $24.5 million to more than 2,400 organizations.
“We recognize the role we play in enriching lives and strengthening communities,” says Amy Timperley, Senior Vice President. “From our employees to our executive leadership, community engagement is a shared priority that defines who we are as a company.”
That spirit is evident in partnerships that respond to evolving needs. As part of its commitment to education and economic development, Southwest Gas partnered with the Lee Business School at UNLV to launch the Small Business Leadership Academy, helping entrepreneurs gain tools to grow. The Company also collaborated with local high schools, Christo St. Rey Victor College Preparatory and Central Technical Training Academy, for programs that prepare students for energy industry professions.
The Southwest Gas Foundation is supporting the expansion of services for families affected by pediatric cancer through its contributions to an enhanced facility for Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation, creating space for emotional care hubs, memorial areas, and sibling support programs that extend compassionate care to the entire family.
In addition to the employee giving program, many employees participate in BLUE—Building Lives Up Everywhere—the company’s employee volunteer program. In 2024, employees volunteered over 4,000 hours supporting more than 40 organizations. The impact is personal, with employees spending many of those hours with their family members, turning service into shared moments of purpose.
For Jordan Coons, Senior IT Audit Manager, volunteering is a way to teach his children about empathy and action. “It uplifts me knowing I’m making a positive impact,” he said. “I see that same excitement in my kids when they get involved.”
Maria Rodriguez, an Analyst, sees service as a privilege. “I’m grateful that my family can participate in these events and make an impact in the community we call home,” she says. Maria and her husband helped build beds for children in need through Sleep in Heavenly Peace—a full-circle moment for her husband, who grew up without one.
From utility assistance programs like Energy Share, which raised over $670,000 in 2024, to Renew’s energy-efficient upgrades for families in crisis, Southwest Gas is creating value for customers and communities.
“We know that when we support our neighbors, we’re helping build stronger, more sustainable communities,” says Timperley. “Energy connects us—we’re proud to be part of fueling the moments that matter most.”
