(SF) - Shell Foundation

Shell Foundation (SF) is a UK-registered charity, founded by Shell in 2000, that creates and scales business solutions to enhance access to energy and affordable transport. We exist to serve the low-income communities most affected by these issues.

• SF supports innovators to test new technology and enterprise models that can contribute towards the SDGs, achieve financial independence and operate at scale.
• Once demand for a new product or service is proven, we co-create supply chain intermediaries, blended funds and non-profit institutions to support replication and market growth.
• We use grant funding and non-grant instruments as appropriate, alongside extensive business support, and allocate a third of our budget to build a stronger enabling environment for social enterprises in target countries.
