Community
EnCap Flatrock is a family-oriented company, and we believe we have a responsibility to use our time, talent and treasure to help make the world around us a better place. While monetary assistance is important, the members of our team also volunteer on behalf of our company and as individuals, providing hands-on assistance to those in need as well as valuable expertise on building a successful organization. Our company efforts are focused on these organizations:
Habitat for Humanity
After learning of the staggering number of people displaced in the Coastal Bend area after Hurricane Harvey, EnCap Flatrock was eager to help. We made a donation to Habitat for Humanity’s Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund but wanted to take a more hands on approach. In May 2018, EFM sent two separate teams of employees down to Rockport, Texas, to assist Habitat for Humanity with repairing homes that were badly damaged by the hurricane. EnCap Flatrock was thrilled to partner with Habitat for Humanity to get the victims of Hurricane Harvey back in their homes, and we look forward to seeing the continued progress Habitat for Humanity is making in the Coastal Bend region.
San Antonio Independent School District
EFM recently awarded five grants to teachers in the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD). These grants support outstanding education projects conducted by teachers and teams of SAISD educators.
Located deep in the heart of the Alamo City for more than 100 years, SAISD is Bexar County’s third-largest school district, serving more than 50,000 students. Because SAISD recognizes that education is not “one size fits all", they offer choices for students to pursue special interests and career goals, as well as learning environments that best meet individual needs.
Project 66
In November 2018, EFM’s Oklahoma staff and their spouses volunteered at the Project 66 Food & Resource Center. Project 66 is a faith-based nonprofit affiliated with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. Project 66 distributes food to people who would otherwise go undernourished, including children, the elderly, the disabled, and families facing difficult economic times. Project 66 also connects clients with local resources including community clinics and ways to secure financial assistance with rent or utilities.
Hill Country Daily Bread Ministries
Hill Country Daily Bread Ministries (HCDBM) is a Regional Resource Center located in Boerne, Texas. HCBDM works with churches, agencies, sponsors and individuals to transform the lives of those living in poverty. EFM often helps put together boxes of clothing and food that are delivered to families every week. We also help the HCDBM Summer Academy by preparing meals for the middle and high school students who attend the academy to receive academic, spiritual and emotional help. In August, EFM hosted an end of summer movie party for the Summer Academy students to reward them for all of their hard work over the summer.
SAMMinistries
Located in San Antonio, SAMMinistries is an interfaith ministry that helps the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless attain self-sufficiency by offering, with dignity and compassion, shelter, housing and services. Assistance is tailored to best meet the needs of each individual and family.
The EnCap Flatrock Midstream team looks forward each year to serving at SAMM in many capacities including organizing Christmas gifts for children living at the SAMM Transitional Living and Learning Center (TLLC) and preparing and serving meals to the TLLC residents.
United Way of Central Oklahoma
United Way of Central Oklahoma is committed to improving the health, safety, education and economic well-being of individual families and EFM is proud to partner with United Way in that effort.
Managing Partner Dennis Jaggi has been active with United Way for many years including serving as Chairman of the Board and on the Long-Range Planning Committee. He is currently on the Board of Directors. In 2017, he was awarded the Richard H. Clements Lifetime Achievement Award, which honors individuals who have a lifelong dedication to volunteering, leadership and philanthropy not only to United Way, but to the community as a whole.
Family Legacy
Family Legacy is a Texas organization that connects American families with the orphaned and vulnerable children of Zambia to proclaim the Gospel, transform lives and rescue orphans.
EnCap Flatrock sponsors 22 children in Misisi, Zambia to attend private Legacy Academy schools. These children receive schooling for one year and much-needed nutrition. The Academy provides orphans a solid spiritual and academic base through Christian education that helps break the cycle of economic poverty that has plagued Zambia for decades.
Focus on the Family
EFM is proud to support Focus on the Family, a global Christian Ministry that provides resources for couples and families to thrive and to equip themselves to make a greater difference in the lives of those around them.
