"The Indigenous Power & Light Fund has the potential to catalyze transformative systems change within tribal communities across the nation. By prioritizing tribal ownership and control, the Fund will ensure that the benefits of clean energy projects on tribal lands accrue directly to the tribes themselves, fostering self-determination and upholding true sovereignty. Most importantly, these projects spark hope in tribal communities, where hope is often a scarce commodity."
Rivian Foundation's grant
Rivian Foundation's support helped launch the Indigenous Power & Light Fund, a revolving Fund established to deliver vital financial support for tribal clean energy projects at critical moments, covering costs unmet by federal grants. By eliminating these financial barriers, the Fund has the potential to unlock billions of federal dollars currently available to tribes for clean energy development, empowering sovereign energy initiatives to succeed.
