Great Plains' slogan, "In the Community to Serve" goes beyond providing safe and reliable electric and natural gas service. Great Plains and its dedicated employees are committed to the communities they service, work and live in. Every year we give back to our communities through volunteerism, contributions and community development efforts.

Community Development: Great Plains is active in community development efforts in order to help promote the economic viability of the communities we serve. Community development representatives are active in state/regional/local community/econmic development organizations.

 

Environmental Community Opportunity (ECO) Fund: Enviromental stewardship is a part of Great Plains' mission and daily life and our committment to the communities we serve is taken seriously. As part of our continued environmental committment, Great Plains Natural Gas Co. has established the ECO Fund to support projects that enhance envrionmental education and stewardship in the communities we serve.
