• partnering with other foundations to launch and fund the ClimateWorks Foundation, an international network of experts paired with efforts in the six global regions where most pollution is generated;
• ongoing regional support for longtime partner the Energy Foundation of San Francisco, to slow climate change by helping the Midwest contribute to our nation's sustainable, low-carbon energy supply; and
• select support for policy reform and other related efforts to help the Midwest region thrive, primarily through Minnesota-based partner RE-AMP.

As noted above, we engage the Energy Foundation, the ClimateWorks Foundation, and RE-AMP to administer efforts to slow the pace of global climate change. For more information about these programs, please visit www.ef.org, www.climateworks.org, and www.reamp.org. McKnight does not accept unsolicited requests for funding to combat climate change.

McKnight's overall strategy is guided by the Design to Win research. Reflecting the input of more than 150 of the world's leading experts on climate change, Design to Win identifies a short list of top priorities in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Our climate-related strategies emerge from our core identity as both a place-based family foundation and an environmental advocate. Since 1991, McKnight has invested more than $100 million to address environmental issues, specifically to restore a healthy environment to the Mississippi River Basin and to promote the development of renewable energy in Minnesota and the Midwest.
