Become a sponsor

Anyone as committed as we are to making progress — even incremental progress — on energy and climate questions can become a sponsor. Sponsors are individuals, teams or organizations that have an idea they want to explore, a roadblock they need removed, or additional resources they need applied to a problem in the energy industry.

You can choose to put money against a major project, support a modest bounty or something in between. The Onward team will help you define, design, structure and manage the pathway to meet your goals and get results you can use.
