The Shell Foundation offers grants to innovative African and Asian nonprofits and businesses who are working to expand access to renewable energy. Funding for Shell Foundation Grants goes toward initiatives that promote sustainable development, financial inclusion, and gender parity. The foundation’s goal is to make a significant and scalable difference via supporting smallholder farmers, urban transporters, and micro-entrepreneurs.

Innovative financial products, solar irrigation systems, and swappable battery networks are all part of the key initiatives of Shell Foundation Grants that aim to lower the cost of renewable energy. The foundation is able to help more people and combat climate change through its partnerships with groups like BII and the United States International Development Finance Corporation.
