Request No.7: For CY 2003, 2004 and YTD 2005 , what was the total amount directed
to Proj ect Share and Proj ect Warmth by: 1) customers through the Intermountain Gas
Company donations program, and 2) the Intermountain Gas Foundation?
Answer to Request No.
Intermountain Gas Company continues to support the energy assistance programs for our
low income customers. The total amount directed to Project Share by customers in 2003
was $9 214., 2004 was $16 650.19 and 2005 was $25,314.54. The Intermountain
Industries Foundation has contributed $5 000.00 in each of these three years to the Project
Share Fund. Intermountain Gas Company has a representative on the Project Share
Advisory Committee and is actively involved.
Total amount directed to Project Warmth by customers in 2003 was $1 294., 2004 was
542.80 and in 2005 was $2 461.46. Intermountain Industries Foundation contributed
000.00 in 2003 and $2 500.00 in 2004 and $2 500.00 in 2005. The reason for the decrease
in our 2004 donation was due to a decrease in customer applications and a lack of clear
reporting of the fund disbursements from the Idaho Falls area. In addition to financial
contributions, Intermountain Gas Company supports these programs by encouraging
employee participation in their fundraising and management efforts. The Company
continues to be a principal partner in the Project Warmth Golf Tournament held in Soda
Springs. This tournament is the major funding source for Project Warmth, raising over
$10 000.00 annually. Intermountain Gas Company has representatives on the planning
committee as well as numerous employees participating in the tournament.
