Powerful Partnerships
For more than a century Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has prided itself in serving our communities. Keeping the lights on and gas flowing—safely and reliably—is at the center of everything we do. This standard is part of what makes the Pacific Northwest a great place to live, work and play. We realize there are local non-profits working toward a similar goal, and we want to help you in your efforts. One way we do that is through the PSE Powerful Partnerships Grant. Powerful Partners is a program committed to working with organizations taking steps to address their own sustainability goals while doing amazing work in their communities.

Recipients are nonprofit organizations throughout our service territory working to uplift their communities, many of them focusing on underserved residential populations. PSE partners with these organizations to share information with their clients, employees and donors on ways to save energy and money on their bills, while decreasing their carbon emissions.
The partnership with an awarded organization includes:
- A financial contribution of $12,500
- Six or more engagements with our Outreach team to reach customers
- Informative content to share via communication channels
- Minimal reporting requested
Since its 2016 inception, PSE has partnered with 102 organizations across its service territory, donating a total of $1.15 million.
