About American Clean Power Association
American Clean Power Association’s recent grantmaking is built around industry organizations and policy groups connected to clean energy deployment, with multiple six-figure awards to trade and advocacy recipients. In 2025, it gave $246,429 to Edison Electric Institute for program support, and $220,000 to Clean Grid Alliance for program support. Those grants sit alongside support for groups working in transmission, renewable power purchasing, financial institutions engagement, manufacturing, and supply chain issues. The pattern suggests a funder that uses restricted program support to back organizations active in the policy and market infrastructure around clean power rather than individual projects or direct aid. The foundation’s portfolio also includes recurring relationships. Clean Grid Alliance appears in both 2025 and 2023, while Alliance for Clean Energy New York, Renewable Northwest Project, Interwest Energy Alliance, Advanced Power Alliance, Southern Renewable Energy Association, Marec Action, and Renew Northeast Inc each received more than one grant across the years on file. That repetition points to ongoing support for aligned regional and national intermediaries within the clean power ecosystem. Grants are generally directed to established organizations, including associations, coalitions, and committees, with all listed awards labeled program support.

The Southern Renewable Energy Association received $98,000 for program support, and the Utility Scale Solar Energy Coalition of Ohio received $75,000 for program support. The portfolio also reaches into broader energy and political engagement.

These grants indicate support for organizations that influence the environment for clean power deployment through policy and state-level coordination.
