The Honnold Foundation provides grants to organizations advancing solar energy access all over the world. We look for partners whose work reduces environmental impact and increases social and economic equity, and who demonstrate strong ties to the communities they serve. No matter who you are, we believe that energy should be easy to access, affordable, and have a low impact on the natural world.
