In November 2013 tax filings from pro-fracking lobby group 'America's Natural Gas Alliance' (ANGA) revealed that Edventures had 'partnered with ANGA to produce classroom materials that promote the use of natural gas' and received US $864,673 for this purpose.
ANGA's blog in June 2013 reveals that it sponsors the 'EdVentures Collegiate Energy Challenge'.
- The Collegiate Energy Challenge, a collaboration of ANGA andEdVentures Partners, is a nationwide contest allowing college students to create an integrated marketing campaign that helps educate and engage younger generations about the natural gas industry and its benefits.
- The team from MTSU executed a campaign centered around the theme of, “Natural Solutions,” and focused on job creation and the environmental benefits of natural gas to their campus community. Participating students hosted a campus event featuring a natural gas vehicle, natural gas trivia and a concert called the “Naturally Bright Music Festival,” targeting students who frequent the Nashville music scene. For their efforts, MTSU students earned a $5,000 donation from ANGA to their school. [2]
