our mission
The Foundation for Energy Security & Innovation (FESI) was created to help accelerate innovative solutions in support of American energy security, prosperity, and leadership. We are the official congressionally chartered, nonprofit partner of the Department of Energy (DOE) and an independent, nonpartisan organization.
Founded in 2022 under the CHIPS and Science Act, the Foundation is uniquely positioned to serve as a bridge between the DOE, industry, researchers and funders helping to accelerate the speed, scale and stability of American energy innovation.
