ClearPath Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C., that is focused on "conservative clean energy". According to a press release, the organization was founded to propose and support policies that accelerate clean energy without expanding the size of government.[2]
ClearPath was founded by Republican entrepreneur and philanthropist Jay Faison in 2013 to change the conservative viewpoint on clean energy. After selling his majority stake in the audio-visual company SnapAV, Faison donated US$165 million to start ClearPath, with a mission of "accelerating conservative clean energy solutions."[3][4]
