Pennsylvania organizations that support emergency services, environmental preservation, youth and senior services are eligible for funding provided by the Atlantic Sunrise Community Grant Program.

Last fall, Williams distributed more than $350,000 to 40 organizations that reside in, and/or provide services to communities where the proposed Atlantic Sunrise project would be constructed and operated.
Two cycles of grant awards are announced each year. The fifth cycle of grant awards will be announced this spring. Applications must be received by March 1 and September 1.
The Atlantic Sunrise project is a proposed expansion of the existing Transco natural gas pipeline system in eastern Pennsylvania designed to transport enough natural gas to serve approximately 7 million homes.
