PG&E基金会50万美元资助加州五家非营利组织：五年250万美元环保计划收官
太平洋燃气电力公司基金会（PG&E Corporation Foundation）10月30日在加州 Oakland 宣布，向加州北部与中部五家社区非营利组织发放合计50万美元资助，每家10万美元，用于栖息地恢复、环境教育与本地食物系统建设。这批受助者是该基金会「携手共创自然积极创新资助计划」（Better Together Nature Positive Innovation Grant Program）的最后一轮，标志着这项五年计划收官。
五家受助组织分属 PG&E 服务区的五个区域。北海岸的 Noyo Center for Marine Science 位于 Fort Bragg，负责清除入侵海胆、补种巨藻，恢复 Mendocino 海岸的海藻林，并协助红鲍恢复。北谷与 Sierra 区的 Sacramento Splash 以「农业、水、能源与环境」项目带 Sacramento 县资源不足学校的二至五年级学生走进位于 Elk Grove 的 Historic Nicolaus Dairy 农场，预计2026至27学年惠及231个班级、约7,000名学生。湾区的 Friends of Sausal Creek 位于 Oakland，将扩充带薪青年环保管护项目，为当地青少年提供全年绿色就业技能培训，同时修复面积2,600英亩的 Sausal Creek 流域。南湾与中央海岸区的 Point Blue Conservation Science 总部位于 Bolinas，组织 K-12 学生、社区学院实习生与居民在 San Benito 县种植原生植被、修复溪畔栖息地。中央谷地的 Black Urban Farmers Association 位于 Stockton，自2015年起经营无农药城市农场，将借资助扩建至一英亩永久场地。
该计划自2022年启动以来，五年间共投入250万美元、资助25家组织，聚焦土地、空气质量与水资源管护。PG&E 基金会表示，这笔资金来自 PG&E 股东而非用户。PG&E Corporation 总裁、基金会董事会主席 Carla Peterman 说，最打动人的是本地组织把对社区的深入理解转化为有意义的行动。Sacramento Splash 首席执行官 Mackenzie Wieser 说，该组织27年来帮助孩子通过亲手实践的科学与环境教育亲近自然世界，在 PG&E 支持下，约7,000名学生将在新学年体验其农场教育项目。
随着2026年受助名单公布，该计划的申请期已经关闭、不再接受申请。PG&E Corporation Foundation 是一家独立的501(c)(3)非营利组织，与 PG&E 本身分开运作，由 PG&E Corporation 出资支持。
PG&E Foundation Awards $500,000 to Five California Nonprofits, Completing Five-Year $2.5 Million Nature Program
The PG&E Corporation Foundation announced on October 30 in Oakland, California, that it is awarding a total of $500,000 to five community-based nonprofits in Northern and Central California, $100,000 each, for habitat restoration, environmental education and local food systems. The 2026 recipients are the final group under the foundation's Better Together Nature Positive Innovation Grant Program, completing the five-year initiative.
The five organizations represent each of PG&E's five service regions. The Noyo Center for Marine Science in Fort Bragg, on the North Coast, removes invasive urchins and replants bull kelp to restore Mendocino Coast kelp forests, while also supporting red abalone recovery. Sacramento Splash, for the North Valley and Sierra region, gives students in grades 2-5 from underserved Sacramento County schools hands-on learning at the Historic Nicolaus Dairy in Elk Grove, and expects to reach about 7,000 students from 231 classes in the 2026-27 school year. Friends of Sausal Creek in Oakland, for the Bay Area, will expand its paid youth stewardship program, providing year-round green job skills training while restoring the 2,600-acre Sausal Creek watershed. Point Blue Conservation Science, based in Bolinas for the South Bay and Central Coast region, brings K-12 students, community college interns and residents together in San Benito County to plant native vegetation and restore streamside habitat. The Black Urban Farmers Association in Stockton, for the Central Valley, has run a pesticide-free urban farm since 2015 and will expand to a permanent one-acre site.
Since its launch in 2022, the program has invested $2.5 million in 25 organizations, focusing on land stewardship, air quality and water stewardship. PG&E said funding for the initiative comes from PG&E shareholders, not customers. Carla Peterman, President of PG&E Corporation and Chair of the foundation's board, said what inspires the foundation most is seeing local organizations turn their deep understanding of their communities into meaningful action. Mackenzie Wieser, Chief Executive Officer of Sacramento Splash, said the organization has helped children connect with the natural world for 27 years, and that with PG&E's support about 7,000 students will experience its farm-based program in the 2026-27 school year.
With the 2026 grantees selected, the program's application period has closed. The PG&E Corporation Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, separate from PG&E and sponsored by PG&E Corporation.
