In October, the company announced the launch of the Air Products Lake Maurepas Community Fund, which will commit $1 million annually to benefit communities bordering Lake Maurepas starting in 2023 through the overall operation of its Louisiana Clean Energy Complex project, which is currently anticipated to be at least 25 years. Through engagement with its stakeholders, Air Products – via its charitable giving affiliate the Air Products Foundation – will award grants to eligible Lake Maurepas area non-profit organizations supporting ecological, educational, and recreational improvements for those who live, work, and visit the lake area. At launch, the Fund is making inaugural investments to support the missions of two safetyfocused organizations. The Livingston Parish Fire Protection District #2 and the Manchac Volunteer Fire Department will each receive a grant of $400,000 to support their first response missions, facilitating the purchase of new patrol and emergency response boats that will bolster response times and add to overall safety for residents, boaters and commercial fisherman on Lake Maurepas.
