Giving back to communities we serve

Our Coworkers

The more than 20,000 men and women of PG&E are committed to supporting the communities where we live and work.

Campaign for the Community

Campaign for the Community is PG&E’s year-round workplace giving program. It helps current employees and retirees raise money for qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations and schools. Campaign for the Community also matches those donations—up to $1,000 per person for individual donations and up to 100% of coworker-initiated fundraisers.

We’re proud of the 20-year history of the workplace charitable giving campaign. The value it provides to our coworkers and the organizations is huge. As of 2022, coworkers and retirees have contributed more than $100 million dollars in support to our communities.

2021 EMPLOYEE GIVING IMPACT

• $10M+ in total contributions from PG&E coworkers, retirees and matching gifts from The PG&E Corporation Foundation
• 5,900+ PG&E employees and retirees gave through the Campaign for the Community workplace giving program
• $200K+ raised via grassroots fundraisers organized by individual PG&E employees for 76 nonprofit organizations and schools
• 5,300+ nonprofits and schools supported by employee gifts

Volunteerism

We live and work in the same communities we serve. That’s why our coworkers are passionate about giving back to the neighborhoods we share with our customers. Due to COVID-19, PG&E’s 2021 volunteer programs included both virtual and in-person events.

2021 VOLUNTEER IMPACT

• 1,300+ PG&E employee volunteers participated in 42 in-person and virtual volunteering events
• 33 community-based organizations (CBOs) supported across our service area
• 5,400+ emergency and comfort kids, and other donations for disadvantaged communities
• 22,000+ volunteer hours in our communities

What our volunteers say

I appreciate the fact I work for a company that has options readily available to their employees to support causes that are personal and meaningful to them. We are part of the communities we serve and many of our employees are deeply involved with their local schools, charities and supporting causes that have touched them personally.

PG&E Gas Dispatcher, San Ramon

Reading to children to help spark their imagination takes imagination itself! During a global pandemic that includes taking important safety measures, such as stay-at-home orders and social distancing. I’m so excited to be doing this project for Oakland Ed Fund remotely, and still being able to give back to the community, despite these restrictions.
