PSEG Annual Report 2007 | Page 23
This program establishes an endowment to fund
scholarships for young men and women of ex-
ceptional educational ability.
Promoting environmental education has taken
on new urgency because of climate change. In
2007, PSEG pledged to support an exhibit on
global warming at the New Jersey State Museum.
The gift is the largest private-sector contribution
to the museum’s capital campaign to date. It will
fund an exhibit designed to educate visitors about
the impact of climate change on New Jersey’s
coastline. It adds to the many other educational
initiatives that PSEG supports to help people
of all ages develop a deeper appreciation for
the environment.
PSEG also is providing a lead gift to support the
construction of a state-of-the-art Earth, Ocean
and Planetary Sciences building for Rutgers
University’s Institute for Marine and Coastal
Sciences. This donation will facilitate inter-
disciplinary research, teaching and outreach on
the environment.
Our community commitment is also expressed by
partnerships with many non-profi t organizations
working to build safer and healthier communities
and protect the environment. We have contributed
substantially to American Red Cross chapters
in our service areas to support disaster victims
and alleviate blood shortages. Our employees
have assisted in this effort as blood donors and
through their own fi nancial donations.
With every unselfi sh undertaking, PSEG em-
ployees show what it means to be a caring
corporate citizen. Our employees are the true
heroes of our company’s community involve-
ment, in ways that go beyond the vital work they
do each day to provide millions of people with
safe, reliable energy. Whether they are serving
meals at soup kitchens, coaching sports or
raising funds for causes like the March of Dimes,
our employees defi ne who we are as a company.
We will continue to encourage and support their
efforts. Our commitment to the communities we
serve in New Jersey and elsewhere remains as
strong as ever.
Continuous years of PSEG
Environmental Education Grants
have promoted teaching about
the environment.
