2026 Grant and Donation Recipients
Action for Grassroots Womens' Empowerment (AGWE)
A grant of $25,000 toward AGWE’s Bio Briquettes project, in which a group of 80 women in Bukedea, Uganda, will be trained to use a solar dryer to create biomass briquettes
from community crops and waste for use as an alternative to firewood and charcoal in cooking.
Footprint Project
A donation of $10,000 was given to Footprint Project in the wake of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica. This donation helped enable their Rapid Renewable Response efforts, including providing portable power stations and mobile solar microgrids to energize communication hubs, schools, shelters, rural health clinics, and basecamps.
Heart of America
A grant of $16,000 is awarded to Heart of America for its initiative to install stand-alone, roof mounted solar kits on student homes in the Navajo Nation not connected to the electrical grid. The kits include solar panels, a battery power station, LED lighting, and a small refrigerator. This Grant will enable four more student households to live with electricity, improving their quality of life and ability to study in the evenings.
Solar Electric Light Fund
A grant of $20,000 will go toward SELF’s solar-powered mediation training and legal aid center in one of the world’s largest slums in Kiberia Town Center, Kenya. This “Law Box” will provide free legal services and train one hundred certified mediators, potentially impacting over 600,000 people in Kenya as it prepares for Kenyan elections in 2027.
