The Mott Foundation is working with partners abroad to help communities in developing countries respond to the effects of global climate change. Our objective: provide access to renewable energy in developing countries in the Amazon and sub-Saharan Africa.
Mott’s international work is focused on increasing the deployment of renewable energy systems in rural areas of developing countries, where nearly 1 billion people lack access to electricity.
We make grants to:
- National and international NGOs, to create and nurture global and regional initiatives that help entrepreneurs address finance and policy barriers that prevent access to clean energy.
- National and regional organizations that provide technical assistance and networking opportunities to communities in the Amazon and Sub-Saharan Africa.
