Mission of the Foundation
Mission Statement
CNX Foundation invests tangibly, impactfully, and locally to target urban and rural communities within the Appalachian Basin facing socio-economic challenges. These investments should demonstrate a return to both the targeted community and the advancement of the goals of the Foundation.
Making a Tangible, Impactful, Local Difference
CNX Foundation is committed to meeting CNX’s broader Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) philosophy by creating tangible, impactful, and local differences within the Appalachian basin. We do so by charting our course to ensure we are able to quantify and measure the visible results for the communities we serve as well as the programs we fund.
Understanding our philosophy starts with understanding the meaning of the tangible, impactful, and local initiatives we support:
Tangible: We are laser-focused on making a real, measurable, and visible difference in the communities we serve.
Impactful: We seek to identify true needs within our community so our support will have an immediate and long-lasting impact in helping specific programs within the region meet their goals.
Local: Our efforts are rooted in supporting communities in our operational footprint so we can foster more opportunities for growth, close to home.
Funding Priorities
Under the lens of making a difference by being tangible, impactful, and local, CNX Foundation is dedicated to supporting organizations that focus their efforts on addressing the following community initiatives:
