Employee Volunteerism

Our employees are encouraged to use two workdays a year to volunteer at company-sponsored events that support nonprofit organizations.

Whether it's for larger organizations like the United Way and Special Olympics, or working at local food pantries and parks, we recognize that partnerships with charitable organizations complement our mission to deliver reliable energy and superior customer service.

More than 6,000 employees and their families volunteered over 31,000 hours at company-sponsored events, both in person and virtually, throughout the service territory in 2023. 

Volunteering Spotlight

Employee volunteers served breakfast and lunch to nearly 100 guests at the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen in Middletown, Connecticut.
Volunteers will assist the Nashua Soup Kitchen in Nashua, New Hampshire with their Thanksgiving Food Box program that distributes food boxes and turkeys to families.
The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts in Chicopee, Massachusetts welcomed our employee volunteers, using their help to organize and box groceries and household goods.

Need Volunteers?

We are always looking for new community partners to support. If your organization needs volunteers for a program or project, please note the following:

  • Must be within the Eversource service territory
  • Must be able to accommodate a minimum of 10 employee volunteers
  • Project request must be hosted during normal business hours, Monday-Friday
  • Ideal projects must fit within the Eversource Foundation mission

If you have any questions or would like to be considered for an Eversource volunteer event, please email us at Volunteer@eversource.com.

Employee Giving

Being a leading partner in the communities we serve starts with our employees.

They not only join Team Eversource in support of our partners, but are also active in giving back in their own communities. They volunteer, serve on boards and contribute financially to organizations that are important to them.

Our employee giving programs support the time, talent and philanthropy of current and retired employees. In 2023, more than $647,000 in matching contributions were made to charities on behalf of our employees and retirees.

  • Matching Grants – encourages employee-directed giving by matching employee donations to eligible organizations
  • Dollars For Doers – provides financial support to a community group where an employee actively and regularly volunteers on their own time
  • Pledge Partners – matches gifts raised by employees for nonprofit organizations (e.g., walk-a-thons and races)

When the Eversource Foundation, our employees and retirees come together, they have an incredible impact. Together we contributed $2.6 million to the United Way campaign in 2023, supporting hundreds of nonprofit organizations that assist our community.
