Smart Utilities, a Southern Alberta-based utility provider and sister company of Energy Smart Canada, is proud to announce its partnership with local charity Bridges of Hope, with a commitment to donate 10% of all profits to support poverty relief initiatives both locally and around the world.
The partnership is built around a simple idea: making a difference should be as uncomplicated as possible. By choosing Smart Utilities for their electricity, natural gas, or Solar Club services, customers can save on their utility costs while also helping support people in need through Bridges of Hope.
For every customer who makes the switch to Smart Utilities, a portion of the company’s profits goes directly toward Bridges of Hope’s work. This means customers can contribute to a meaningful cause simply by choosing where their utility services come from.
“We wanted to create a way for people to contribute to something bigger in a simple, everyday way,” says Energy Smart and Smart Utilities. “Everyone has to pay a utility bill. We believe that bill can do more than simply cover the cost of electricity or natural gas. By choosing Smart Utilities, customers can save money on their utilities while helping support the incredible work Bridges of Hope is doing, in Lethbridge and beyond.”
The partnership is a natural extension of Energy Smart Canada’s long-standing relationship with Bridges of Hope. For decades, Energy Smart has supported the organization through sponsorships, fundraising events, and hands-on involvement in initiatives designed to help people experiencing poverty around the world.
Members of the Energy Smart team have also participated in trips supporting Bridges of Hope’s work firsthand, giving the company a close connection to the organization’s mission and the people it serves. The decision to establish Smart Utilities as a dedicated supporter of Bridges of Hope continues that long-standing commitment while creating an opportunity for an even greater number of people to get involved and contribute.
Bridges of Hope works to provide practical support and create opportunities for people facing poverty, both within the local community and internationally. Through its programs, partnerships, fundraising efforts, and community initiatives, the organization works to help address people’s immediate needs while also helping them create a self-sufficient future for themselves and their families.
Smart Utilities was created with a similar focus on making a positive difference in the community. As a sister company to Energy Smart Canada, which has provided renewable energy solutions to Southern Albertans for more than 25 years, Smart Utilities gives customers another way to take control of their energy costs while supporting local.
Customers can choose Smart Utilities for electricity and natural gas services, as well as Solar Club options designed to help people and businesses with solar maximize the value of their renewable energy systems. By switching their utility services, customers can save money while also contributing to Bridges of Hope through Smart Utilities’ 10% profit donation.
“Our goal is to raise as much as possible for Bridges of Hope,” says the Smart Utilities team. “The more people who make the switch, the more we can give back. It’s a simple way for people to turn something they already pay for every month into an opportunity to support their community.”
Smart Utilities is encouraging Southern Albertans to learn more about the company, compare their current utility options, and consider making the switch. Through this partnership, Smart Utilities hopes to demonstrate that business and community impact can go hand in hand: save on your utilities, support a local charity, and make every bill count.
