Clearpath: Grantee Spotlight

The Giving Green Fund plans to award a restricted grant to ClearPath, a US-based nonprofit accelerating US innovation to reduce global emissions. We have restricted our grant to ClearPath’s work on either nuclear power or decarbonizing heavy industry.

Nuclear power: We are supporting an ecosystem of nonprofits working on policies supporting advanced nuclear innovation in the US given that the US is important for designing and demonstrating these technologies before they are exported elsewhere.

Heavy industry: This is one of a series of grants to support an ecosystem of nonprofits working to expand and decarbonize domestic industrial production through increased public and private investment, along with trade policy that favors cleaner industrial material imports. While most of ClearPath’s work is focused on US stakeholders, we think that since these efforts include trade policy, they can have a global impact.

ClearPath falls within our impact areas of nuclear power and decarbonizing heavy industry. Please see Giving Green’s deep dive reports on nuclear power and heavy industry for more information about the general impact area, including risks and potential co-benefits, philanthropic strategies, theory of change, funding need, and key uncertainties.

ClearPath has 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities. As Giving Green is part of IDinsight, which is itself a charitable, tax-exempt organization, we are only offering an opinion on the charitable activities of ClearPath’s 501(c)(3) arm, and not on ClearPath’s 501(c)(4) entity.
