Investments from TC Energy’s Social Impact program, Build Strong, are guided by a set of criteria. Whether we are providing grants, awarding scholarships to future energy problem solvers or supporting local events that bring community members together, our goal is to help build strong, vibrant communities.
We consider investment opportunities from communities within an approximate 30-kilometre (20-mile) radius of our operations or projects, that:
- Align with one or more of our focus areas
- Address a gap or need in the community that will allow the community to thrive
- Create shared value and prosperity between our communities and our business
- Promote equity and equality
- Offer engagement opportunities for our employees
- Demonstrate measurable impact
Our partnerships reflect the diversity of the communities where we live and work across North America. Through our social impact portfolio, we support organizations that promote equity and equality and contribute to a more inclusive future for us all.

Trout Unlimited Canada is an incredible organization with a proven track record of success in waterway restoration dating back to 1972. TC Energy has been partnering with Trout Unlimited Canada for the last 20 years: simply because we believe in their unmatched capability to implement real change on the ground, protect natural spaces and improve our water resources. Over the past few years, we have supported their Reconnecting Canada Project, which aims to restore water ways to improve fish passage and water quality.
TC Energy Summer Scholars Academy
TC Energy and the TC Energy Foundation donated US$50,000 to the University of Houston’s College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM) to support a summer program that enables high school students interested in majoring in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) to prepare for the transition to college. The intensive, nine-week program, TC Energy Summer Scholars Academy, provides support to 50 students, many of whom are the first generation in their family to attend college.
