Austin, TX.- Atlanta-based loyalty marketing company, Benevolink, today announced a partnership with Green Mountain Energy Company, one of the nation's leading retailers of cleaner electricity, to launch a program rewarding new customers with funds for their favorite charities. All program giving will be directed by the Green Mountain customers that participate in the program.

"We have a long history of conducting our business in a way that makes a positive impact on the community," said Paul Markovich, senior vice president, Residential Sales, Green Mountain Energy Company. "Partnering with Benevolink enables us to take our community support to the next level, and reward loyal customers by giving back to the charities they care about."

Through the program, Green Mountain will donate $15 to the charity selected by each new customer. The company will supplement this support by donating an additional $3 every month to the charities chosen by participating customers in good standing. All new Green Mountain Energy Company subscribers in Texas will now be eligible to participate in the program.
