The goal of the IBEW Local 37 Community Outreach Program is to help support organizations that are making a positive impact on issues that are important to the IBEW, as well as to support causes and events that matter to our members and to the communities where they live and work. The program is 100% funded by the administrative fees that our union receives from The Personal Insurance.
In order for a request to be considered for approval, it should be aligned with at least one of following areas*:
· Health & Safety
· Diversity & Inclusion
· Youth & Education
· Community
· Environment
· Arts & Culture
*Others may also be considered
Pending available funds, consideration will be given to sponsorship or donation opportunities that will meet the goal of the program, while providing Local 37 with appropriate recognition. The program is not intended to fund individual teams, athletes, students, etc., but events such as tournaments, performances, meets, etc., may be considered. Where possible, an attempt will be made to balance expenditures across New Brunswick.
Requests can be made by individual members or by an adhoc committee of the Local 37 Executive Board. The reviewing and approving of requests will be the responsibility the Executive Board and will be done so on a quarterly basis. To ensure the consistent evaluation of requests, we require all applicants to complete the application form below.
