Calpine Cares

Calpine has a proud legacy of engaging in the communities in which our employees live and work. From corporate donations to local volunteer efforts, we are passionate about stepping up and giving back.

Our Giving Philosophy

Calpine’s philanthropic mission is to continually enhance the quality of life in the communities where Calpine employees live and work through ongoing support of organizations focused on improving education and workforce development, environmental and community issues with particular emphasis on giving to organizations where employees volunteer their time and resources, support social justice initiatives and/or provide economic opportunity for all.

Volunteerism at The Geysers

Across the company, Calpine employees regularly roll up their sleeves to volunteer their time supporting local charities. This spirit of volunteerism is evident throughout the year, but, in particular, during our annual Calpine in Our Communities Day event – a companywide tradition where employees at each Calpine location choose a community outreach activity to work on together as a team.



Calpine is committed to being a welcomed member of every community where it has power plants, offices or facilities. Calpine has a long history of partnering with community organizations, as well as funding community and educational programs that seek to change lives, strengthening the fabric of our society.

Employees at The Geysers are encouraged to build ties with surrounding local communities through The Geysers Charitable Volunteer Match Program. Employees can maximize their involvement by requesting a monetary donation to match their volunteer time and efforts to an eligible non-profit organization.
