The Solar Foundation® (TSF) is an independent

501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to increase

understanding of solar energy through strategic

research that educates the public and transforms

markets. Since 2010, TSF has published its annual

National Solar Jobs Census, which established the first

credible data on the solar labor force, positioning TSF

as the nation’s authority on the topic. TSF is also a

leading provider of educational materials on solar

development for local governments through its work

with the U.S. Department of Energy. In addition, TSF

chairs the National Solar Schools Consortium, a group

of stakeholders seeking to make solar a larger part of

the national K-12 system.

TSF’s annual Summer Solstice celebrates the longest

day of the year and raises funds for its work by bringing

together some of the most interesting and influential

clean energy-minded individuals to the nation’s capital.

If your organization is interested in highlighting its role

in the clean energy economy, please consider the tax-

deductible sponsorship packages in this document. We

welcome any sponsorship ideas you may have that

better suit your organization’s needs.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Every June, as the Earth approaches its maximum tilt toward the Sun, The Solar Foundation® celebrates with a jubilant fundraising event, the Summer Solstice party. Hosted on a rooftop in downtown Washington, DC, members from a broad cross section of the solar industry, policymakers, and the larger public enjoy the company of other solar stakeholders, make new connections, and award worthy organizations for their accomplishments in solar in the last year.

Your sponsorship supports the research and education activities of The Solar Foundation® and helps keep the Summer Solstice affordable and accessible to the widest possible audience.

The Solar Foundation’s

National Solar Schools

thousands of schools are

saving money with solar, and

provide outreach to school

administrators who need

assistance procuring solar.

The Solar Foundation plays a

major role in the SunShot Solar

Outreach Partnership, a U.S.

Department of Energy program

designed to increase the use

and integration of solar by

working directly with city and

county governments.

The Solar Foundation works

year-round to fund and

publish its annual National

Solar Jobs Census, which

receives significant

attention from the media

and policymakers thanks to

its robust methodology.

Contributions to The Solar

Foundation are tax-

no matter the size, helps

support the vital research,

education, and outreach that

are needed to raise

understanding of solar.

The Solar Foundation is

exploring the important

role military veterans play

in the U.S. solar industry,

and is working to support

their transition by

developing a military skills

translation tool.
