Gas South Gifts Most Philanthropic Dollars Ever in 2023

ATLANTA, Ga. (February 16, 2024) – Gas South gave the most philanthropic dollars in its history last year with a total of $4.5M going to organizations throughout Georgia and Florida to benefit kids and families aligning with their purpose to Be A Fuel For Good and our commitment to serving others.

The milestone is included in the just-released 2023 Annual Impact Report. Gas South’s Fuel for Good efforts also led to 1,200 volunteer hours from employees throughout the year and two Impact Investments, which were chosen by customers.

“Serving others and doing what’s right are core values at Gas South,” said Kevin Greiner, president and CEO. “I’m incredibly proud of our team and customers that made this possible and thankful for our partners that are on the ground daily doing such important work.”

Some of the projects these funds will go toward include St. Vincent de Paul’s Motel To Hotel program for unhoused families, Ser Familia providing mental health and educational support to Latino students, Covenant House of Georgia hosting music therapy sessions, City of Refuge’s school operations and expansion, and 100 Black Men’s B.E.S.T. Academy providing mentorship opportunities for high school seniors.

In 2023, Gas South altered its giving methodology from spreading philanthropic dollars across numerous organizations throughout the year to focusing investment in 10 Fuel for Good Allies.

“When we think of impact, we think it’s more than just giving lots of dollars to lots of nonprofits. said Carley Stephens, manager of community affairs. “We wanted to focus on fewer organizations so that we could build understanding and sustained relationships within our communities to make better investments and ultimately, bigger impact."

In addition to those selected organizations, Gas South invited customers to vote on two winners for an Impact Investment of $100K each. More than 10,000 customers voted, selecting Sunshine on a Ranney Day in Atlanta, Georgia and Food4Kids in Gainesville, Florida as the recipients.

Gas South began its commitment to give back 5% of profits to organizations that support children and families by providing basic needs, education and health care in 2017. To date, the company has given more than $16M in philanthropic dollars since it was founded in 2006.
