At Endeavour Energy, our purpose is powering communities for a brighter future. It’s in our name to endeavour and in our nature to care.​

​That’s why we’ve created our Powering Communities grants program – so we can power together with our community to deliver programs that are important to you.​

​We want to see our communities thrive and to make sure no one is left behind.
