PG & E Foundation – Resilience Hubs
Grant Amount: Maximum Grant Amount: $100,000
Information
The PG & E Foundation is accepting applications to the Resilience Hubs grants program.
Funding is available through this program to help communities build a network of local resilience hubs. These projects can provide a physical space or set of resources that supports community resilience—such as access to power, shelter, and information—to climate-driven extreme weather events, including wildfires, as well as future Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events. Once developed, the hubs can also be accessed year-round to build and sustain community adaptive capacity in a trusted location.
Suitable approaches for resilience hub proposals may include, but are not limited to, conducting a feasibility analysis to assess resilience hub needs through local engagement, planning and design of physical spaces or mobile resources that will provide community resilience benefit, or retrofits of existing buildings or structures to support community resilience.
Grant Types and Amounts
- Feasibility Projects: Proposals for grants of $25,000 each, to fund an assessment of resilience hub needs and conceptual ideas for a resilience hub.
- Design and Build Projects: Proposals for grants of $100,000 each, toward the design and/or creation of a resilience hub, either planning and design of new physical spaces or mobile resources or retrofits of existing buildings or structures to support community resilience.
Priority will be given to projects that address the needs of disadvantaged and/or vulnerable communities. These grants are intended to serve as seed funding to support resilience hub facility planning and design. Communities may need to pursue other sources of funding to cover the full cost of the hub.
