Sempra Energy is proud of the commitment to the community our employees
show every day on and off the job. We team with our employees
to urge them to give back through three programs:
Energy for Others
Energy
for Others is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by and
for the employees of Sempra Energy. Through the Energy
for Others giving program, employees can make direct contributions
to any nonprofit group through payroll withholdings.
Any nondesignated funds employees provide are given to agencies
by a locally elected board of advisers, all of whom take part in the
program. You can view giving guidelines on the Energy
for Others Web site.
Matching Gifts
To foster giving by employees, The Sempra Energy Foundation funds a Matching
Gifts program for gifts made to educational institutions, as well as
to groups focused on arts and culture. The Foundation matches employees'
gifts dollar for dollar pending verification of the gift. Requests for
matching gifts must start with Sempra Energy employees.
Volunteer Incentive Program
The Sempra Energy Foundation also supports our employees' contribution
of time and talent to nonprofit groups through our Volunteer Incentive
Program (VIP). Employees who make a commitment to a group through volunteer
service may request a $100 contribution from The Sempra Energy Foundation
to that group on their behalf. The Foundation funds up to two groups
each year for every eligible employee. Requests for VIP grants must begin
with Sempra Energy employees.
