The K2 Wind Foundation has partnered with Prime Coalition, a U.S. based non-profit that is working to encourage philanthropic organizations to invest in early-stage energy technology companies. The world needs catalytic capital that is able to lead. PRIME is a public charity that facilitates investments by working with an ever-expanding group of philanthropic organizations- private foundations, corporate foundations, donor advised funds, and individual donors – to place charitable capital into best-in-class, early stage, for-profit companies that promise vast reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions. Our short-term goal is to lower the high barriers that make charitable investment in this area prohibitively difficult, and share our proof-of-concept investments as demonstrative case studies with the philanthropic community. For more information on Prime Coalition please visit their website: www.primecoalition.org

Project AWARE trains scuba divers to record and safely dispose of waste they find on their dives. By recording the amount and type of waste that is found a dive sites around the world, Project AWARE hopes to create an underwater map of waste to educate the masses on the quantity and quality of trash that is being dumped into the world’s oceans. The K2 Wind Foundation continues to support Project AWARE’s efforts by funding Adopt A Dive sites in South East Asia, which aims to educate and encourage resorts and dive sites around the world to help clean up marine debris they find on their dives.  For more information on Project AWARE please visit their website: www.projectaware.org

1.8 billion people around the world don’t have access to safe water and 2.4 billion lack access to adequate sanitation. Women and children spend more than 4 hours walking for water each day, and more than 840,000 people die each year from water-related diseases. We want to see communities break free from the cycle of poverty and spend time growing, learning, and thriving, instead of walking for water and fighting off illness. We’re working to reach Everyone Foreverwith safe water and sanitation. For more information, please visit their website:  www.waterforpeople.org
