Welcome to Energy for Others®
Energy for Others® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public-benefit
charitable corporation formed in July 2002
to facilitate
support of community-based charitable groups by employees of the Sempra Energy
family.
Its
predecessor programs included two very successful, individual company
efforts: the SDG&E Contrib Club and
SoCalGas' G.A.S. Works program.
As part of
the Energy for Others employee-giving program, employees
can either designate their contributions to the groups of their choice
and/or they can donate directly to their local Energy for Others'
fund. One hundred percent of all contributions made by employees are directed
to their charities of choice.
A board of directors provides governance.
It's made up of people from a number of Sempra
Energy companies. Councils made up of local advisers
have also been
set up to review and provide input on requests submitted for funding.
Since it began, more than $500,000 has been raised each year and donated to charities in
communities where employees work and live.
