Covenant Solar Initiative

Covenant Solar Initiative (CSI) is a fiscally sponsored project of the Earth Island Institute. Earth Island Institute is a nonprofit environmental organization and fiscal sponsor to more than seventy-five projects working in the areas of conservation, energy and climate, and women and Indigenous environmental leadership. CSI was founded in 2016 in response to the leadership of American Indian tribes resisting fossil fuels and the potential of renewables to meet the needs of energy poor tribes. CSI’s mission is to empower and grow the capacity of American Indian tribes to plan, develop, and maintain renewable energy resources in a way that promotes long term economic development and energy independence.
