The PG&E Corporation Foundation Program Supports Environmental Commitment
The PG&E Corporation Foundation (PG&E Foundation) is awarding five community-based organizations in Northern and Central California a total of $500,000 in grants for local initiatives dedicated to environmental stewardship.
The five organizations will each receive $100,000 through the Better Together Nature Positive Innovation Grant program for leading efforts to preserve California’s unique biodiversity, focusing on land, air quality and water stewardship.
The grants are part of a commitment to fund environmental stewardship projects in communities Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) serves. The program empowers communities to act and invest in innovative, resilient solutions addressing environmental challenges. Funding for this initiative comes from PG&E shareholders, not customers.
“This generous support from PG&E makes it possible for Sorrel Leaf Healing Center to become the first facility of its kind to integrate traditional Native land management practices into our healing model. With this funding, we will be able to carry out cultural burns, restore the land with native species and create ceremonial and therapeutic spaces. These efforts not only honor cultural traditions but also foster resilience for the youth and community we serve. None of this would be possible without PG&E’s partnership,” said Shireen Varga, Executive Director, Sorrel Leaf Healing Center.
“We are proud to support local efforts helping to meet the challenges of our changing environment. We commend our community partners leading the charge in bringing about innovative solutions that best serve their communities. Congratulations to this year’s grantees — together, we are making a difference,” said Carla Peterman, Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer for PG&E Corporation and Chair of the Board of The PG&E Corporation Foundation.
