Edison International: Making a Difference in the Community for Nearly 130 Years

We’re committed to giving back, and have been for well over a century. Our philanthropy is focused in ways that address important issues like education, the environment, public safety & emergency preparedness, and civic engagement. Last year, we gave $20 million to community programs that make a difference in these particular areas, along with $1.2 million in STEM scholarships to help students earn degrees and contribute to future innovation.

Overall, more than two-thirds of our giving help underserved populations, including diverse ethnic groups, seniors, people with disabilities, women, gay and lesbian populations, and low-income families.  

We’re taking a close look at the programs we fund through our charitable giving so we can better align the programs we support with the company’s expertise. While we will continue to invest in the same four giving priorities as we do today and the amount of money we contribute will remain the same, instead of offering an “open cycle” community grants program, we will look for nonprofit partners that share our vision and invite them to apply for grants. 

It’s important that our community partners know the door to new grants isn’t closed – we’re thrilled to learn about new organizations and encourage those that believe their program strategically aligns with our business to reach out by emailing us.
