Community Involvement

enable in our communities

Being a partner in the success of the communities where we live and work starts with acknowledging that each community is unique. With this understanding, we’re able to connect with our communities through our Connected program, demonstrating our commitment to our neighbors by providing resources that make a positive impact.

The Connected program focuses on three key categories for giving and service: youth and education, safety and emergency response, and health and social services.

YOUTH AND EDUCATION

We value upcoming generations and believe they should be well prepared to become problem-solving innovators, educators, researchers and leaders. We support organizations that promote and advance education and development of children, specifically those focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE

We recognize first responders play a critical role in keeping our communities safe and support these groups through financial partnerships and public recognition. We show our gratitude to these partners and heroes through our Safety Partner Program, made possible through a partnership with the Oklahoma City Thunder professional basketball organization.

HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

We’re invested in organizations that help build stronger communities. Across our footprint, we partner with nonprofits focused on promoting equality and opportunity for all, whether through health care, food subsidies or services that strengthen physical, mental and relational health.

Our Connected Programs and Initiatives Include:

We offer our employees 16 company-paid hours each year to serve organizations in their community. Each year, we also set companywide goals for service hours and coordinate regular opportunities. In 2019, Enable employees volunteered over 15,000 company-paid hours and an additional approximately 7,000 hours outside of work.

Funds are donated to communities across our footprint through organizations that fall into three areas of focus: youth and education, safety and emergency response, and health and social services. Our employees play an integral role in identifying the needs of their communities so we can provide solutions.

Through a partnership with the Oklahoma City Thunder professional basketball organization, we honor first responders and recognize the contributions they have made to keep their communities safe. Each Safety Partner is invited to participate in a brief ceremony at a Thunder basketball game, and the honorees receive a monetary donation from Enable to be used for their organizations.

We also partner with the Oklahoma City Thunder to build or refurbish community basketball courts in our communities. To date, we have dedicated five courts across Oklahoma. These courts serve as a gathering place for community neighbors and as a way to enhance community wellness.

For every University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University first down during the football season, we donate $25 to a STEM-focused program in communities across our Oklahoma footprint. In 2018 and 2019, we donated $25,000 and $20,000 to John Rex Elementary and Elmore City Schools, respectively.

Our Oklahoma City employees also mentor students at the John Rex Elementary School located across the street from our headquarters.

Each year, we manage an internal campaign focused on increasing community service during National Volunteer Month in April.

The internal campaign creates opportunities for employees to give their time and resources to communities across our footprint, making a positive impact during the end-of-year holiday season.

Every year, two giving campaigns are held, supporting the United Way and Allied Arts organizations. Enable matches employee United Way donations, increasing the impact to communities across our footprint.
