Honnold Foundation

The Honnold Foundation, founded by climber Alex Honnold, is expanding access to solar energy in remote and off-grid communities. Forbes reports on the foundation's work funding solar projects that bring reliable electricity to areas lacking grid access. The initiative highlights how renewable energy can reach places that traditional infrastructure has left behind.

Alex Honnold, the climber famous for free soloing El Capitan, runs a foundation that is bringing solar power to remote communities. The initiative funds off-grid solar installations in areas without reliable electricity, extending the Climbing Gold-honed athlete's conservation work beyond the mountains and into energy access for underserved regions.
