OBJECTIVES: Investments focus on three
strategies: Promoting policy reform -- the sponsor supports
organizations seeking to promote energy-efficiency resource standards,
as well as standards for appliance and equipment efficiency and
renewable energy. In addition, the sponsor funds work on policies that
encourage utility investment in energy-efficiency programs and
transmission policy reform for the Midwest and at a federal level. The
aim is the implementation of programs and policies that support energy
efficiency and renewable energy as contributors to meeting
demand. Bringing energy-efficiency retrofits to scale -- the
sponsor seeks to demonstrate through grants and program-related
investments that energy-efficiency retrofits can be brought to scale
by addressing barriers such as financing, performance measurement and
disclosure, marketing and behavior. Supporting next-generation
approaches -- the sponsor helps those working to push the bounds of
what is considered possible and practical for efficiency improvements
in the built environment, and support practices that drive innovation
in the fields of energy efficiency and renewable energy.

ELIGIBILITY
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based 501(c)(3) organizations and
their Canadian equivalents, as well as government entities. The
sponsor will not support projects outside of North America.
