Climatize Partners With the Honnold Foundation to Expand Access to Clean Energy

Climatize is proud to announce a new partnership with the Honnold Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing solar energy access for underserved communities around the world.

This partnership reflects a shared belief that access to clean energy should not be limited by geography, income, or access to traditional financing.

About the Partnership

Climatize was founded to address a critical bottleneck in the energy transition: access to capital for distributed and community-scale clean energy projects.

Through its SEC-registered funding portal, Climatize enables individuals to support projects across solar, battery storage, EV charging infrastructure, and energy efficiency. 

The partnership with the Honnold Foundation strengthens this mission by aligning capital access with on-the-ground impact, supporting initiatives that expand energy equity and climate resilience.

Who Is Alex Honnold and What Is the Honnold Foundation

The Honnold Foundation was founded by Alex Honnold, widely known for his free solo ascent of El Capitan.

Beyond his achievements in climbing, Alex has focused his efforts on supporting environmental solutions through philanthropy.

The foundation funds solar energy projects that aim to improve lives and reduce environmental impact, particularly in underserved communities.

Its work focuses on:

• Expanding access to renewable energy

• Supporting community-led climate solutions

• Funding projects with measurable social and environmental impact

This approach aligns closely with Climatize’s goal of democratizing access to climate investment opportunities.

Why This Partnership Matters

Access to clean energy is not just a climate issue. It is an economic and social one.

Many communities still face barriers to reliable and affordable energy due to limited access to financing and infrastructure.

By combining Climatize’s investment platform with the Honnold Foundation’s mission-driven work, this partnership helps:

• Direct capital toward high-impact energy projects

• Expand participation in climate solutions

• Support communities often overlooked by traditional systems

This is not just about funding projects. It is about enabling more people to take part in building the infrastructure that powers the future.

A Note From Climatize

“At Climatize, we share a deep respect for nature, which is why our first team offsite was in Yosemite. Seeing El Capitan in person was breathtaking and made Alex Honnold’s free solo feel even more unreal,” says Alba Forns, Co-Founder and COO at Climatize. “Little did I know that years later, we would partner with the Honnold Foundation, united by a shared goal to expand access to solar for communities that need it most.”

A Note From the Honnold Foundation

“Our partnership with Climatize reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to clean energy. Together, we are helping direct capital to communities and projects that might otherwise be overlooked,” Peter Walle, Director of Partnerships at Honnold Foundation.
