Until 2020, what is now known as “Energy Foundation China” and the United States Energy Foundation were the same grantmaking foundation, known as simply the “Energy Foundation.” When they split in 2020, the Energy Foundation (EIN: 94-3126848) began doing business as Energy Foundation China and thus retained the original EIN. The 2020 IRS filings from both foundations show a transfer of $57.7 million from Energy Foundation China to the newly formed U.S. Energy Foundation (EIN: 83-1740146). [i]
The IRS filing from the U.S. Energy Foundation covering 2024 shows $261.4 million in total revenue collected and $166.3 million paid out in grants—or 64 percent of total revenue. The grants included a cumulative $8.7 million sent to ten of the fifteen anti-energy nonprofits profiled in this report. In addition, the report shows grants totaling more than $2.7 million in 2024 for nine state affiliates of the League of Conservation voters. [ii]
