• Individuals
• Religious organizations (except for those with non-sectarian purposes)
• Third-party fundraisers
• Professional conventions, conferences or seminars, unless industry related
• Travel for individuals or groups
• Organizations located outside of the regions or communities where EnCana does business

Many of our employees offer their time to non-profit and charitable organizations through volunteerism in many areas, from coaching youth sports teams to Board participation. Organizations should not assume that EnCana employee participation automatically pre-qualifies them for funding.
