About Partnership Project
The Partnership Project Inc uses fiscal sponsorship and organizational support to move environmental campaigns and partner organizations working on climate and energy policy. A standout recent grant went to Resources Legacy Fund Climate Power Education Fund for $3,121,500 in program support, pointing to the scale at which the foundation backs public-facing climate work. Its recent grants also show sustained support for environmental advocacy infrastructure, including $800,000 to Center for American Progress and $700,000 to Children's Environmental Health Network, both in program support. The foundation’s stated work covers climate change, clean energy transition, fossil fuel reduction, environmental justice, environmental polling and public opinion research, capacity building, and leadership diversity in environmental organizations. The grant list suggests a mix of policy-oriented groups, advocacy networks, and field-building intermediaries rather than individual awards. With Erich Pica listed in leadership and a regular funder classification, the organization appears to operate as a grantmaker focused on restricted or program-specific support for environmental initiatives.
What Partnership Project Funds
In climate and clean energy work, the foundation backed the Center for Earth Energy and Democracy with $900,000 for program support, and the Electrification Coalition Foundation with $582,900 for program support. Those grants align with its focus on climate change and the clean energy transition. Environmental justice appears as another clear thread: Green Door Initiative received $669,500 for program support, and the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice received $300,000 for program support. The grant list also includes public opinion and communications-oriented environmental work, such as $448,000 to The Years Project for program support and $476,000 to GreenLatinos for program support. Several awards support policy and advocacy organizations, including the Union of Concerned Scientists, Clean Air Task Force, and Earthworks.
How Partnership Project Gives
Typical grant sizes cluster around a median of $65,000, with a lower quartile of $18,070 and an upper quartile of $195,000. The recent list includes both smaller program-support awards and several six- and seven-figure grants, showing a wide spread in check size. The Partnership Project Inc is a regular funder rather than an individual-giving vehicle, and the grants shown are program support or program-restricted in nature. Recipients appear across multiple years, including organizations such as Environmental Defense Fund, Earthworks, Interfaith Power & Light, and Sierra Club Foundation, which suggests continued support for some partners over time.
