A History of Helping
Since 1997, C Spire has donated millions of dollars in scholarships, opening doors to higher education in our home state of Mississippi. The company took that a step further in 2005, establishing the C Spire Foundation to help our employees and communities dealing with the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina.
While the C Spire Foundation continues to support many causes, we sharpened our focus primarily on STEM education in 2017, using our technology expertise to make a lasting impact on our region’s future.
