Giving back to the communities where ConocoPhillips employees live and work is both a way of life and source of pride. Across our operations, they invest their time and resources into assisting neighbors in need, forging lasting relationships and building stronger communities. During this holiday season, we are especially proud of the countless employees who share their time and talent supporting local organizations. These local heroes help feed the hungry, protect and conserve natural resources, provide civic and social services, support education and the arts, while at the same time promoting health and safety.
Alaska
ConocoPhillips Alaska began supporting the construction of a local Cancer Center at Providence Medical Center in 2007, donating over $3 million dollars to the Providence Alaska Foundation. The center allows many Alaskans to remain in their home state, in the comfort of their own home, and surrounded by friends and family as they receive cancer care, treatment and evaluation. In 2019, construction was completed on the pediatric Alaska CARES facility in Anchorage, thanks in part to a $500,000 gift from ConocoPhillips. In addition, we helped construct a privacy wall in the pediatric infusion area to provide additional comfort to patients and their families.

Bakken
In the Bakken, employees volunteered during the annual “Pick Up the Patch” program, cleaning road ditches in Watford City and Dickinson. They also helped organize the “Dickinson Angel Tree” program, working with Stark County Social Services, PATH (an area foster/adoption agency) and Home on the Range (a facility for troubled youth). The program matches the business community and other community organizations with children who need holiday gifts.
The annual ConocoPhillips Charity Golf Tournament in Dickinson, North Dakota, raised over $31,800 for the Stark County Sheriff’s Office to support a new K-9 program. Over $400,000 in philanthropic donations was awarded in the Bakken in 2019, in addition to the countless volunteer hours, including a day spent preparing Little Missouri State Park for summer visitors during the annual ConocoPhillips Volunteer Day.

ConocoPhillips also provided transportation, lodging, food, gifts and a fishing charter to about 900 veterans as part of Warriors Weekend in south Texas, an event each May for servicemembers returning to the U.S. Volunteers helped cook and serve food, guide fishing expeditions and spent time engaging with the warriors.
