1. What organizations does the Sempra Energy Foundation contribute to?
We support tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations that are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)(3), and align with our Community Funding Priorities. | top

 

2. How can my organization apply for a grant?
To further our efforts to help the environment and conserve our natural resources, we only accept applications for funding using the on-line application form.
It's easy to apply. Simply complete an on-line application.  Remember to upload your board of directors and program financials prior to hitting the “submit” button for the application. | top

 

3. What if I don't have the program financials or board of directors list available to upload?
If you have an electronic version of your organization's financials and board of directors, it needs to be attached to your online application.  If you do not have an electronic version of your financials, please proceed with the online application process and fax over your program financials and board of directors information to 1-866-262-4842.  | top

 

4. What is the deadline for submitting applications?
There are no deadlines for submitting applications.  Grants applications are reviewed throughout the year. | top

 

5. How can I be sure my application was received?
After submitting your on-line application, you will receive a confirmation and tracking number.  If you experience any problems, please e-mail us at SempraEnergyFoundation@sempra.com or call 1-866-262-4842.  | top

 

6. What is the status of my application?
Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Generally, the timeline to review and assess each application can take up to 6 weeks, depending on the volume of requests received at any given time.  | top
 
7. How many times may I apply for a grant?
You may apply as many times as you'd like throughout the year, but generally only one grant will be awarded to each organization in a calendar year. | top

8. How soon will I hear about my application?
Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the year.  Decisions depend on the number of applications under review and the timing of the program.  Our Foundation team works hard to make timely decisions and communicate those decisions as quickly as possible.  | top
