Investing in Community Energy

Each year, Pengrowth makes substantial investments in the communities where we operate. Although many of the costs are attributed to Pengrowth Management Limited, Pengrowth Energy Trust unitholders benefit through the visibility associated with these vital partnerships. At Pengrowth, we work hard to be a good neighbour. We work hard to build meaningful and lasting relationships with community groups and agencies. In the coming year, we will continue to evaluate and prioritize existing and new opportunities that reflect out corporate culture and Pengrowth’s spirit of entrepreneurship and community involvement.

Here is an overview of some of the major corporate partnerships that Pengrowth Management Limited or Pengrowth Corporation currently supports:

	The Banff Centre As one of Canada’s oldest centres for leadership development, The Banff Centre has built a world-class reputation. This uniquely Canadian organization is recognized for its ability to develop business and personal skills, team leadership, performance, business and people management. Many of our team members participate in development programs at the Centre, and Pengrowth’s contributions are designed to provide ongoing training, forums and research for the next generation of creative and innovative leaders.
	Calgary Health Trust For 16 years, we have partnered with Calgary’s Glencoe Golf and Country Club to host the Pengrowth Rockyview Invitational Golf Tournament – one of Canada’s largest, single day fundraising golf events. Proceeds from this event are invested in leading-edge health care equipment that improves the delivery of service and diagnosis for people throughout southern Alberta. To date, this event has raised more than $6 million for the Rockyview General Hospital.
	Canadian Open As the second oldest stop on the PGA Tour and the third oldest national championship in the world. Pengrowth Management Limited has been involved with the Open since 2001. To enhance and preserve one of Canada’s oldest sporting events, Pengrowth increased its support and became a Premier Partner. In addition, we are leading efforts to secure long-term funding and investment for the Canadian Open.
	Duke of Edinburgh Awards The Duke of Edinburgh Award began in 1956 and is given to young people between the ages of 14-25 to foster self-discipline, enterprise and perseverance. With the assistance of many friends of Pengrowth, we were able to raise $450,000 towards this program which operates in 80 countries around the world.
	Pengrowth - Nova Scotia Energy Scholarship Program This unique scholarship fund was created in partnership with the Government of Nova Scotia to award scholarships to students who pursue careers in the energy sector. To date, Pengrowth has invested a total of $2 million and the province has donated an additional $1 million to the fund. This program awards as many as 19 scholarships a year and approximately 40 students have benefited since its inception.
	Pengrowth Saddledome Since 2000, Pengrowth Management Limited has been the naming sponsor of this unique landmark. In addition to being home to the Calgary Flames, Calgary Hitmen and the Calgary Roughnecks, the Pengrowth Saddledome has become Calgary’s leading sports and entertainment facility and our sponsorship benefits countless charities and minor sporting organizations.

In addition to these major corporate partnerships, we invest significant funds in local or community not-for-profit groups. Often, these partnerships are identified by our field-based team members, and are funded by our local operations. Each partnership – big and small – is important.
