Our mission is to promote the transition to a sustainable energy future by advancing energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Our geographic focus is on the United States and China, the largest and fastest growing energy markets in the world. Current Energy Foundation partners are: Anonymous, ClimateWorks Foundation, Grantham Foundation, Grousbeck Family Foundation, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, The McKnight Foundation, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Pisces Foundation, Robertson Foundation, Schmidt Family Foundation, Tilia Fund, TomKat Trust, and TOSA Foundation.

Our primary role is as a grantmaker, providing resources to the institutions that most effectively leverage change. When we see an unmet need we also take direct initiatives, commission papers, or convene meetings.
