SDGivE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM:
MAKING A LASTING IMPACT
Each year, SDG&E employees come together during the holidays
to make a difference through the SDGivE Volunteer Program, a
company-wide initiative that connects employees with nonprofit
organizations across the region. In 2024, 562 employees dedicated
1,724 volunteer hours to support 45 organizations with 52 volunteer
projects — from San Clemente to Chula Vista. In addition to hands-on
service, SDG&E provided $83,500 in shareholder-funded grants to
further support these impactful programs.
One of the program’s most cherished traditions is the annual
gift-wrapping event for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego
(BGCGSD). For 19 years, SDG&E employees have helped wrap and
distribute gifts to low-income children at 23 club locations.
Paul Malin, a manager in SDG&E’s Accounting Operations
department, has led this effort for nearly two decades. What
started as a personal passion project with his wife, now BGCGSD’s
Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has grown into
an annual tradition embraced by many of his colleagues.
“Over the years, more than 30,000 children
have benefited from the Club’s holiday
programs. At the end of the party, when
each child receives a wrapped gift, the
smiles on their faces are contagious.
There is so much excitement and joy.”
— Paul Malin, Accounting Operations Manager, SDG&E
