Core Focus
To ensure that our resources are invested wisely and
achieve the greatest good, the Puget Sound Energy Foundation is focused on
four sectors:
 |
Human Services |
 |
Environmental Stewardship |
 |
Education (Workforce Development) |
 |
Arts and Culture |
These four pillars form the basis of the Foundation's
grant making. From year to year, the Foundation will designate priority
sectors and funding initiatives to ensure that the Foundation is responsive
to emerging needs and trends.
2008 Priority Funding Initiatives
In 2008, the Puget Sound Energy Foundation will focus
on the Human Services, Environmental, Education as well as Arts and Culture.
As the Foundation begins our second year of grant making, priority
consideration will be given to those programs that:
 |
Respond to the needs of our most vulnerable
neighbors |
 |
Encourage energy conservation and environmental
stewardship |
 |
Promote workforce development at universities and
community and technical colleges |
