Applying for a PGE Foundation grant Your time is valuable, and we want to make sure you have the guidance needed to put forward the strongest possible application. The PGE Foundation reviews only one request per calendar year per organization.

Previous grant recipients must complete an impact report prior to submitting a new request. Please note: PGE corporate and PGE Foundation applications are considered separately. When applying, please confirm that you are able to see “PGE Foundation” references in the Cybergrants portal (logo, etc).

Proposals made through the PGE corporate granting portal cannot be considered for PGE Foundation funding. Which grant program should my organization apply to? PGE Foundation prioritizes organizations whose core mission prioritizes the goals of the granting program.

Clear alignment between the organization mission and the pillar outcomes, rather than the individual project, is most likely to be competitive. Email Melissa Dubois Lewis at melissa. dubois@pgn.
