Charitable Giving and Community Support

First Solar Corporate Charitable Fund

The First Solar Corporate Charitable Fund seeks to improve the quality of life in communities around the world. Emphasis is placed on programs that support our corporate giving values:

  • A focus on “green” education initiatives
  • Access to clean energy and water in underserved areas
  • Furthering the development of innovative and sustainable technologies

Priority is given to organizations that make a significant impact in communities that share our giving values. The Fund seeks to support projects and services through the donation of solar modules and systems. In addition to requests for donation of modules, applications may include a request for grant funds to support the project.

Typically, financial support has been distributed in the range of $10,000 to $15,000 (USD). Grants will only be awarded to a) nonprofit, charitable organizations that are designated as having tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Service code or b) organizations capable of demonstrating the ability to fulfill the charitable purpose of the module donation.
