The Honnold Foundation is growing, and so is the call for solar energy funding from grassroots organizations around the world. This year, we received over 400 applications for solar energy funding from our Core Fund, with applicants from every continent except Antarctica. As our team reviewed the applications, a clear theme emerged: climate change continues to widen the equity gap around the world, and communities need support now, more than ever.
Today, we’re introducing our 2021 Core Partners. In the coming year, these 10 organizations will use solar energy to reduce their communities’ impact on the environment, increase their resiliency and capacity to weather climate change, and strengthen their communities’ right to self-determination.
With the addition of this incredible slate of Partners, the Honnold Foundation is committed to giving away over one million dollars in funding to solar energy projects around the world by the end of the year.
In the face of a problem as big as climate change, one million dollars in funding for our partners isn’t going to solve everything. But it’s a start. And at the Honnold Foundation, we’re firm believers in the fact that small steps can add up to big change.
Nearly 90% of HF’s funding goes directly to our partners, and 100% of our funding comes from our donor community—people like you, who know that it takes all of us to make the world a brighter place. We’re in this for the long haul, and with your support, we can continue reaching communities on the frontlines of climate change. Join us: set up a recurring donation today to support a brighter world for years to come.
