Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The United States Energy Foundation’s (US EF) mission is to secure a clean and equitable energy future to tackle the climate crisis. Based on a bottoms-up assessment of opportunities across their network of over 700 grantees, consultants, staff, board, and climate funders, in 2022 EF is prioritizing implementation of federal climate investments, federal regulations to reduce climate pollution, and advancement of state and local policies.

for the Midwest Climate and Democracy Initiative
This grant will support a three-year multi-funder collaborative focused on increasing nonpartisan civic engagement in the Midwestern U.S. Through this initiative, the US Energy Foundation (US EF) will learn whether and to what extent climate justice is a driver for voter turnout in historically underrepresented Midwestern communities. US EF and aligned funding partners will broadly disseminate qualitative and quantitative findings. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
for the U.S. Transportation Program
This grant supports the Transportation Program at the U.S. Energy Foundation. In the next year, the program will focus on securing strong vehicle standards that will put the U.S. on track for a 60% sales share of electric passenger vehicles by 2030 and 50% sales share of freight vehicles by the same year. In addition, the program will fund a series of groups and advocates who are critical for various state-level regulations to advance electrification of freight vehicles.
