1) About

The Energy Foundation was launched in 1991 by three leading foundations who decided it was time for philanthropy to help the world meet its energy challenges. In 1999, with support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Energy Foundation established the China Sustainable Energy Program now called Energy Foundation China. So far they have made over 400 grants under the China program. Grant sizes range up to $300,000. Their annual funding volume for China amounts to $30 million.
