Community

Pelican exists not only to improve the lives of its employees and clients, but also the lives of those who live in the communities in which Pelican employees live and work.  Community is included as one of Pelican’s three primary objectives.  Pelican’s strategic commitments to community include encouraging and providing:

  • Responsible Stewardship

  • Dedicated Resources

  • Personal Engagement

Through these strategic commitments Pelican hopes to develop lasting relationships that drive increased business and thereby enable Pelican to invest further in improving the quality of the lives of others.

Pelican accomplishes its strategic commitments to community primarily through its Stewardship committee and the Pelican Energy Foundation.

Stewardship Committee

Founded in January 2013, the Pelican Stewardship Committee is made up of a cross-section of employees who volunteer their time to serve on a rotating basis. The committee is tasked with creating and executing meaningful events and activities that encourage employees to give their time, talent, and treasure in support of others.

To further promote a culture of giving, Pelican makes an annual financial commitment, matching employee contributions dollar for dollar. Fundraising events such as bake sales, raffles, and eating contests help generate support for charitable causes. Friendly competitions and company-sponsored prizes boost participation in a wide range of community service efforts—from home builds and charity walks to school reading programs and blood drives.

At Pelican, fostering a spirit of generosity is more than a tradition—it’s seen as a meaningful way to enrich the lives of our employees and the communities we serve.

The Pelican Stewardship Committee is also responsible for the careful and thoughtful distribution of all contributions raised—supporting both Pelican employees in need and members of the local community. Employees are encouraged to remain aware of the extraordinary needs of their colleagues and those in the broader community who may be facing hardship.

While the committee prioritizes supporting individuals with limited access to other charitable resources, Pelican also contributes to established charities and local fundraising events. All causes are thoroughly vetted and selected by the Stewardship Committee to ensure meaningful impact and alignment with Pelican’s values.
