CNX Resources : Supports Area School Districts as part of Ongoing COVID-19 Community Response

PITTSBURGH - As local families grapple with the challenges of a school year during the COVID-19 pandemic, technology is playing a vital role.

However, students who lack adequate technology face an increased risk of falling behind.

Working in partnership with the community foundations of Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties, CNX Resources Corporation (NYSE: CNX) is providing $35,000 to be used for school technology grants.

'We've been in regular communication with our community foundation partners since the outbreak of the pandemic regarding the needs they are seeing in the local community,' said CNX Vice President of External Relations, Brian Aiello. 'It's an evolving situation especially considering the prospect of a second wave of the virus this winter, and the technology is not always available to respond suddenly, especially for families who face financial hardship and now need to purchase laptops or high-speed internet for multiple children. CNX is pleased to be able to step in and lend a helping hand.'

The school districts receiving the grants are West Greene, McGuffey, Trinity, Washington, Kiski Area and New Kensington. In the weeks since the school year began, technology needs have continued to shift leaving many students without the capabilities to keep up with classmates.

The technology grants will be made available by the community foundations and will be used differently in each school. Most will be used to purchase laptops, Chromebooks, MiFis and wireless hotspots to broadcast internet since many homes have multiple family members who need to be online during the day.

The is the second investment from CNX this year in response to COVID-19. In April, the company announced a gift primarily benefitting food banks and senior services in Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties. In total, CNX has dedicated over $70,000 and 200 service hours to help our communities in need during the COVID crisis.
