About Sempra Employee Giving Network
A striking feature of Sempra Employee Giving Network’s recent giving is its mix of broad human-services support and disaster-related aid, delivered through general support grants rather than tightly restricted project awards. The network’s largest recent grants include $50,068 to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc in Rye Brook, New York, and $45,154 to American Lebanese Syrian Assoc Char Inc in Memphis, Tennessee, showing that its work reaches beyond California even as most grants land in the state where it is headquartered. In the recent-grants list, the network also appears repeatedly behind organizations tied to health, food access, and community resilience, including St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, United Way, and the San Diego Food Bank. Its active Community Grants program is framed around Climate Action, Engagement & Inclusion, Economic Prosperity, Supporting Employees, and Disaster Relief / Community Resilience, which aligns with the mix of recipients in the grant list. The overall pattern suggests a foundation that uses unrestricted support to back organizations serving immediate needs and long-term community wellbeing.
What Sempra Employee Giving Network Funds
Health-related nonprofits are a clear part of the network’s portfolio. It gave $39,748 to St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis for general support and $26,737 to Alzheimers San Diego for general support, alongside another award to the same San Diego organization in 2023. Food security is another recurring thread: Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank received $26,077 for general support in 2024, while Feeding San Diego received $24,123 in 2024. Community assistance also shows up through $38,100 to United Way of Greater Los Angeles and $22,130 to the American National Red Cross in Medford, Massachusetts, both listed as general support. These grants point to a funder that supports established nonprofits working on health, hunger, and local response capacity.
