ClearPath Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C., that is focused on "conservative clean energy". According to a press release, the organization was founded to propose and support policies that accelerate clean energy without expanding the size of government.[2]

History

ClearPath was founded by Republican entrepreneur and philanthropist Jay Faison in 2013 to change the conservative viewpoint on clean energy. After selling his majority stake in the audio-visual company SnapAV, Faison donated US$165 million to start ClearPath, with a mission of "accelerating conservative clean energy solutions."[3][4]

Activities

ClearPath advances its mission through "strategic grant-making, advocacy, and digital platforms", and focuses on energy policy, polling, and analysis.[5][6][7]

Principles

The ClearPath website lists five principles used for analyzing policy. ClearPath believes in "small government, free markets, and American innovation", as well as pollution risk management, cost-benefit analysis and energy security.[6]
