As part of its 2012 Environmental Champions Initiative, San Diego Gas & Electric announced that it will contribute $1 million to local environmental non-profit organizations in San Diego County and south Orange County.
SDG&E welcomes proposals from non-profit environmental organizations for programs that engage and educate young people in the community as stewards of the environment in the areas of ecosystem awareness, environmental conservation, and energy and water efficiency.
Winning organizations can receive up to $25,000 for individual projects and up to $50,000 for collaborative projects with partner environmental non-profit organizations. This initiative is limited to environmental education and community engagement programs administered in SDG&E's territory. Organizations will have an opportunity to submit their applications until July 27. Preference will be given to environmental programs that target one or more of the following areas: natural resource conservation and protection, habitat preservation and restoration, energy efficiency, and waste/recycling. SDG&E plans to announce the winners in September.
