Employee Volunteerism

Providing a better quality of life in the neighborhoods where we live and work.

Our employees are allowed two workdays a year to volunteer at company-sponsored events.

Whether it's for larger organizations like the United Way and Special Olympics, or working at food pantries, 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.

Employee Giving

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

Along with volunteering, employees show commitment to our communities by donating to their own favorite charities and by serving on boards.

Our employee giving programs support the time, talents and philanthropy of current and former employees. We made $647,000 in contributions to charities on behalf of our employees and retirees in 2023.

  • 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 is actively and regularly involved on their own time
  • Pledge Partners – matches pledged funds for events where employees participate (e.g., walk-a-thons and races) to support non-profit agencies

Eversource, our employees and retirees contributed $2.6 million to the United Way in 2023 to support wide-ranging initiatives and causes that contribute to the wellbeing of our communities.

Over 140 volunteers cheered on and supported this year’s Special Olympics New Hampshire Winter Games. Volunteers guided and assisted athletes competing in skiing and snowboarding, and lead the resort experience activities that included sand art, karaoke, cornhole and more.
Volunteers answered the phone during the annual fundraising radiothon, processing donations to support the children at Baystate Children’s Hospital Radiothon in Springfield, Massachusetts. Volunteers wrote over 200 thank you notes to the hospital staff.
