Where STEM is planting the seeds of big ideas.

In 2021, SDG&E charitable giving included $1.9 million in K-16 STEM education and leadership development.

Of that $1.9 million, $500K went towards DonorsChoose.org. This charitable contribution supported 484 teachers, served 247 schools and funded 901 projects.

But the focus and dedication to STEM education doesn’t end there. We also have 103 employees that participate in our #BeThatGirl initiative, which is an effort to encourage girls’ interest in STEM careers at an early age. SDG&E employees with careers in engineering, meteorology, finance, biological/environmental/computer science and other STEM fields act a role models to inspire a future generation of female STEM professionals.

Creating opportunities for everyone.
