Habitat Support Fund

Double the Difference

Portland General Electric’s Habitat Support Fund provides customers with the ability to make a difference in two meaningful ways. Participating customers purchase and support renewable energy while also helping to restore and preserve habitats for Oregon native fish, including salmon, through an automatic $2.50 monthly donation.

The donations are given to The Freshwater Trust to administer multiple grants that restore habitat in PGE’s service area. We coordinate the Habitat Support funds to match these donations with grant dollars, creating an even larger impact through projects across the state.

2026 Recipients

Coming Soon

Applications for restoration project funding will open in May 2026.
