Back to top Alliance Programs and Funding For more than 20 years, the Alliance has worked to make the benefits of energy efficiency understood and practiced in the United States and around the world. The Alliance has worked with industry groups utilities financial institutions government entities individuals corporations foundations, and communities. Its education, research, and advocacy programs and primary work is concentrated in the broad buildings, policy, international, and communications arenas. All programs emphasize that energy efficiency is the world's most critical energy resource. A strength of the Alliance is the ability to create partnerships and to bring various constituencies and parties together to advance the overall goal of moving the United States and the world toward a more energy-efficient, sustainable future.
Funding comes from corporate contributions and grants from foundations and government agencies.
Its staff of more than 40 in Washington, D.C. as well as in Russia and the Ukraine includes economists, engineers, financial experts, public policy professionals and others who bring a wealth of experience in the private and public sectors to the Alliance and its energy efficiency issues.
