Overview
The Bipartisan Policy Center works with Republicans and Democrats to develop solutions to the key challenges facing the nation. The center recruits talented leaders, including former elected officials, business leaders, academics, and advocates from all sides of the political spectrum, to create policy solutions—utilizing a combination of rigorous analysis, reasoned negotiation, and respectful dialogue. The center believes that cooperation between the political parties is the only viable path to solving critical problems, and with the support of the Hewlett Foundation, it will continue to advance bipartisan collaboration for the benefit of all Americans.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Energy Program
The Bipartisan Policy Center’s Energy Program is focused on pragmatic climate and clean energy policies through engagement with a broad set of stakeholders and experts from diverse political perspectives. The center invites constructive negotiations and durable policies that expand the decarbonization toolkit through technological innovation, carbon management, net-zero infrastructure and policy design, and natural climate solutions.

for support of the Energy Project
This grant would renew our long-time commitment to the Bipartisan Policy Center and its work on national energy policy. The Center’s three areas of focus are: (1) to continue to lay the groundwork for building consensus for a national energy/climate policy; (2) to implement more incremental policies including its natural gas project, which promotes a less carbon-intensive fuel mix in the electric power sector; and (3) to position itself to promote low-probability high-impact policies through unlikely forums such as a federally budgeted carbon tax.
for support of the Energy Project
This grant would renew our longtime commitment to the Bipartisan Policy Center and its work on national energy policy. The Center’s four areas of focus are (1) to continue to lay the groundwork for consensus on national energy and climate policy; (2) to promote high-quality research and stakeholder engagement related to the EPA’s greenhouse-gas power plant rule; (3) to engage stakeholders in efforts to reduce methane emissions; and (4) to position itself to promote low-probability, high-impact policies through unlikely forums such as using the federal budget process to promote a carbon tax as part of a larger federal budget deficit solution.
