Charitable Contributions Program
Section 1: How and When to Apply
Please review our 2009 Program’s Guidelines and General Information to determine whether your organization and the funding you would request meet those requirements.
Prior to applying for a grant, an applicant should contact the local PG&E representative for the applicant’s project area listed below.
Section 2: Electronic Application
All applicants must use PG&E’s online grant application, located at www.pge.com/giving. PG&E will neither accept nor process grant proposals in any other format.
Section 3: Fiscal Agents
PG&E will accept proposals from fiscal agents. However, the online application must be completed by the fiscal agent and the information in the application must pertain to the fiscal agent.
Section 4: Assistance with the Online Application
Please print a copy of the application before you apply so that you can gather whatever information you may need prior to preparing the application. Also, please keep a copy of your completed application for future reference. For questions about completing the application (e.g., what is my organization’s federal tax identification number?), please contact Doug Carrillo or Gigie Barnes of PG&E’s Charitable Contributions staff at charitablecontributions@pge.com.
If you have other questions about the utility’s grantmaking process (e.g., whether your organization qualifies for a charitable donation, or determining the status of a pending application, or to introduce your organization to PG&E), please contact the Pacific Gas and Electric Company local area staff member listed below.
