About Rewiring America
Rewiring America’s most recent grant was the full annual grant total: $7,378,683 to Windward Foundation in Washington, DC, designated to settle outstanding costs connected with the termination of a fiscal sponsorship agreement. That single award points to a funder that can use large, one-time grants for organizational transition and closure expenses, not only for ongoing program work. The foundation’s stated mission centers on making electrification simple, measurable, and inevitable by developing accessible data and tools, building coalitions and partnerships, and helping households, communities, and businesses electrify to save money, reduce emissions, improve health, and build clean energy jobs. Its topic areas include electrification, clean energy, climate change mitigation, energy efficiency, community development, research and data tools, and policy advocacy. Rewiring America is organized as a public charity, with $17,408,127 in total assets on file for the latest 990 year. The recent grant record shows a transaction-oriented funding pattern rather than a portfolio of small awards, with the documented recipient tied to a fiscal sponsorship settlement rather than a program implementation grant.
What Rewiring America Funds
A central theme in Rewiring America’s work is home electrification. The foundation runs a Home Electrification Lending Program RFP, signaling interest in partners that can support lending for household electrification. Its broader stated focus also includes clean energy and energy efficiency, linking electrification to lower costs and emissions reduction. The foundation also works at the intersection of climate change mitigation and policy advocacy. Its summary emphasizes helping households, communities, and businesses electrify, while building coalitions and partnerships around that goal. Research and data tools are another clear emphasis. Rewiring America says it develops accessible data and tools to make electrification measurable, which aligns with the organization’s community and market-building approach. Community development appears in the stated focus areas as well, showing that the funder connects electrification with local economic and social benefits, including clean energy jobs.
How Rewiring America Gives
The recent grant data shows a single award of $7,378,683, so the visible distribution is concentrated at one very large transaction. Rewiring America is a public charity, and the grant record reflects one-time, restricted-use support tied to organizational transition costs rather than ongoing program operations. The documented recipient appears only once in the provided recent-grants list, which points to a non-recurring pattern in the available data. The program materials also show an RFP for the Home Electrification Lending Program, indicating that at least one active funding vehicle is structured through a proposal process.
