Each year, BCPC member companies collectively give $4–5 million to local non-profit organizations and municipalities through monetary contributions, in-kind donations, and volunteer service. These ongoing investments demonstrate a shared commitment to being good neighbors and supporting strong, thriving communities.

 

In 2024, member companies of the Brazoria County Petrochemical Council together contributed more than $200,000 toward the purchase of ADA‑accessible, nautically themed playground equipment made with recycled plastic for Brazoria County Jetty Park. 

The most notable donation of the BCPC is the $1 million donation to Brazosport College to help fund the 10,000-square-foot welding technologies lab. In addition to traditional welding machines, the lab houses virtual trainers and computers among other top-level equipment needed to provide current training. The BCPC committed the $1 million charitable contribution to help build a pipeline of certified welders as well as develop and recruit residents for lifelong careers in the industry.

 

Over that past 20 years, BCPC commits funding $1,000 scholarships to both Brazosport College and Alvin Community College for students enrolled in petrochemical-related courses. The skills-based training each of these colleges offer allows students to complete training in a short amount of time without adding to student loan debt. The industry certifications allow for family-sustaining careers right here in the community and throughout the world.
