Overview
The Bipartisan Policy Center’s Democracy Project works to combine the best ideas from both parties to promote bipartisan relationship building and stronger institutions. With the support of the Hewlett Foundation, the Democracy Project will track and analyze congressional procedures and adherence to regular order through the quarterly Healthy Congress Index; widely publicize the index to lawmakers, their staff, and the public; and use the index as a tool for revitalizing an effective Congress. Grant funds also may be used for convenings and events related to strengthening the institution of Congress.

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. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
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.
