RMI

Powering what matters means delivering the energy that makes life possible: affordable heating and cooling for our homes, schools, and hospitals; keeping the lights on in a storm; clean air to breathe; and a livable planet for all. These aren’t luxuries. They’re the foundation of thriving communities everywhere. 

Because energy touches every part of our lives, its future cannot be left to chance. It must be clean, resilient, and built to serve everyone. At RMI, more than 600 experts are turning bold ideas into real-world clean energy solutions. And this progress is only possible because of supporters like you. 

Your gift fuels practical, proven solutions that deliver clean, affordable, and resilient energy everywhere. Together, we’re: 

• Making clean energy affordable and accessible. RMI’s Power Couples initiative connects data centers with nearby wind, solar, and battery projects — meeting rising energy demand without adding fossil fuels. Our Energy Poverty Policy Simulator helps regulators design fairer rates and reduce costs for families.
• Building resilience that keeps communities safe and powered. In the United States, we’re helping cities create resilience hubs — solar- and battery-backed facilities that provide power, shelter, and services during storms. Globally, our Solar Under Storm III report is setting new standards for hurricane-resilient solar power, helping communities stay safe and powered when it matters most.
• Protecting the air we breathe and the planet we share. With WasteMAP, we’re pinpointing methane emissions from landfills with satellites. Our global cooling efforts are scaling super-efficient air conditioners that reduce emissions while saving energy and lives. And our Smarter MODES calculator is helping cities quantify the health and air quality benefits of public transit, biking, and walking.

None of this happens without you. Your generosity fuels innovation over inertia, turning data into action and hope into lasting results. Together, we’re proving that the energy systems we build today can power a better, fairer tomorrow. 

Please make your gift today. Let’s power what matters most — together. 

As we often say at RMI, our antidote to fear is Applied Hope. With your partnership, that hope becomes power: clean, affordable, and resilient for everyone.
