Community-based nonprofit organizations across San Diego County are the new recipients of grants totaling $10 million awarded by San Diego Gas and Electric. SDG&E has awarded 21 community organizations grants ranging from $250,000 and up to $1 million, to help the nonprofit groups expand essential services to San Diegans who struggle with basic needs. The grants were funded from the SDG&E Community Assitance fund, which is aimed at improving housing stability and food security. According to SDG&E, the grant program is the company’s largest one-year charity initiative. “Beyond delivering clean, safe and reliable energy service every day, SDG&E is also passionate about improving lives in the communities we serve,” said SDG&E CEO Caroline Winn. “Shelter and food are fundamental, and yet many in our region struggle with the cost of these basic needs. With these grants, we’re fortunate to have the opportunity to support the missions of so many dedicated local organizations to help expand essential services that are desperately needed right now.” MORE: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/community/working-for-our-community/san-diego-nonprofits-receive-grants-totaling-10-million-from-sdge/509-bab17208-4a1e-4585-b221-fcae1d5ce507
