Stichting SED Fund Information

Stichting SED Fund is a philanthropic initiative to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of clean air, access to energy, clean water, climate action and equity, by backing efforts of governments and civil society on clean energy transition, according to principles of sustainability, diversity, and equity. We work with partners to enhance existing initiatives that will have the most impact in support of these goals. We amplify impact by consolidating philanthropic resources, strengthening country level institutions and civil society groups to impact policies and markets, and enabling them to manage and diversify the socio-political risks of working on climate and energy. The SED Fund acts as a convenor that is deeply networked into the wider ecosystem of expertise including: think tanks, health groups, data scientists, policymakers, legal experts, funders, and civil-society groups. This feeds into the overall knowledge base on clean energy transition, by harnessing learning and best practice that’s replicable and scalable. Currently, it supports efforts in India, host to 32 of the top 50 most polluted cities in the world.
