Continuing a pursuit that George and Cynthia Mitchell began in the mid 1960s, the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation seeks to fund high impact projects at the nexus of environmental protection, social equity and economic vibrancy. Through a grants portfolio of approximately $1 million per year, the Foundation continues to support a clean energy economy in Texas by funding improvements in energy efficiency, building codes, advanced transportation fuels, and displacement of traditional coal power generation with responsibly produced natural gas and renewable energy.
