Pengrowth delivers outstanding unitholder value by making strategic oil and natural gas investments, improving the quality of maturing assets and enabling our team members to find new ways of improving performance through creativity and ingenuity. Pengrowth also delivers unitholder value by investing in the communities in which we operate. In 2008, Pengrowth’s community improvement efforts were further enhanced with the introduction of our company’s Community Investment Guidelines. These guidelines strengthen relationships with key stakeholders and contribute to communities impacted by our operations.
Today, Pengrowth provides funding for community partners in key areas that include education, health, leadership development, significant community need, and youth sport organizations. It is our goal to partner with organizations that develop life-long skills that include community and character development and leadership training.
Pengrowth Management Limited and Pengrowth Corporation are proud of the partnerships and initiatives listed below:

	Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta (KCCFA) In 2008, Pengrowth continued to support the KCCFA, contributing to the one of the largest childhood cancer research initiatives in the country. The Foundation now offers more than 20 year-round and summer camp and community outreach programs to Alberta families. KCCFA is one of the few charities in North America dedicated to supporting the entire continuum of childhood cancer, fighting the disease with laughter at camp, the best hospital treatments available, innovative science research and post-secondary education scholarships. All of these components work in unison to provide brighter futures for sick kids.
	Pengrowth - Nova Scotia Energy Scholarship Program The Pengrowth Nova Scotia Energy Scholarship Program provides resources to ensure the success of future oil and gas industry leaders. Established in March 2005, the $2 million program is a partnership between Pengrowth ($1.5 million) and the Province of Nova Scotia ($500,000). Since its inception, the scholarship has provided more than $500,000 to 77 students in the form of university and trade scholarships, innovation grants and funding of the Professorship in Petroleum Financial Management at Saint Mary’s University.
	Pengrowth Cares In 2008, our company established Pengrowth Cares, an internal program aimed at helping our employees help the community through hands-on volunteer efforts and charity donation matching. The goal of Pengrowth Cares is to help create stronger communities and a true sense of pride by doubling team members’ charity donations and/or volunteer hours served to a total of $200 per team member per year.
	Aboriginal Relations Pengrowth recognizes that our development initiatives, goals and operational plans can impact Aboriginal communities. In 2008, Pengrowth established a set of Aboriginal Relations Guidelines as part of a consistent approach when considering development plans and operational activities that impact Aboriginal groups. An internal process led by Pengrowth Public and Government Affairs has been established to effectively manage Aboriginal sponsorship and related community donation requests that are received in a wide array of styles and contain varied amounts of information. These guidelines also serve as a frame of reference for interested parties when clarifying our company’s commitment to issues that directly involve Aboriginal communities.

In addition to these major corporate partnerships, we invest significant funds in local or community not-for-profit groups. Often, these partnerships are identified by our field-based team members, and are funded by our local operations. Each partnership – big and small – is important.
