Awards & Recognitions
In the fall of 2023, SDG&E’s Director of
Community Relations Kazeem Omidiji
was honored with the Corporate
Community Leader Award by the County
of San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce
at their Young, Inclusive, and Entrepreneur
Gala. The Association of Fundraising
Professionals named SDG&E as the
Best Philanthropic Business of the
Year finalist in 2023. SDG&E was also
presented with the San Diego Business
Journal’s Nonprofit & Citizenship Award
(Corporate Partner of the Year Category)
for its charitable work in climate action,
emergency preparedness, K-16 STEM &
leadership and economic prosperity. These
awards and recognitions are reflective of
our commitment to building a healthier,
stronger and safer community.
At SDG&E, we take pride in being more than just an energy
infrastructure company. Through our shareholder funded
charitable investments, employee volunteerism and partnerships
with nonprofit organizations across the region, we are committed
to giving back in the communities where we live and serve.
Among our signature initiatives in 2023, I’m most proud of our
Community Assistance Fund (CAF) — the largest single charitable
initiative our company has ever launched. While many in our
region continue to struggle with food and housing insecurity,
we created the CAF to provide nonprofit organizations with the
resources needed to expand essential services. As one of the
largest corporate funders within the region, we hope this initiative
will have a positive impact on those that need these critical
services and encourage others to do the same.
SDG&E’s community investments revolve around four strategic
pillars: climate action, emergency preparedness and safety,
inspiring future leaders (K-16 STEM education) and economic
prosperity. In 2023, SDG&E provided over $16 million in charitable
contributions across our service area — with 99% of those
contributions benefiting diverse and under-resourced populations.
In addition to our charitable investments, I feel honored to
work alongside so many SDG&E employees who give back to
the community through their volunteerism and nonprofit board
service. From fighting food insecurity by volunteering at the local
food bank to serving on the board of a nonprofit that advocates
for protecting the environment, our employees are dedicated to
improving the communities they work, live and raise their families
in. We continue to see increased commitment from our employees
in the community.
I would like to thank our nonprofit partners for allowing us the
opportunity to contribute towards the impact they make every
day — fostering safer, stronger, and healthier communities
through collaboration.
