CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE GUIDELINES AND PROCESS

The primary purpose of Hydropower Foundation (Foundation) is "advancing hydropower's role in our clean energy future through research and education."  As such, the Foundation encourages the development of projects and programs from within or related to the hydropower industry at all levels.  For those projects/programs deemed to be within the mission of the organization, the Foundation offers to assist proponents in various ways on a case by case basis.  Typically, the Foundation will not be the primary investigator or project/program manager, but will assist in the coordination of developing a viable program, identifying/recommending technical and/or funding partners, and as a conduit to facilitate the completion of projects/programs.  For such services, the Foundation will require a fee to cover any staff time, direct costs, and indirect costs.

Through the years, the Foundation has developed several projects and programs by several different approaches. These programs have ranged from multi-year, research and development projects like the Advanced Hydro Turbine System—involving federal/private cost-sharing mechanisms - to single year development projects like the website as a source of important industry links and news, that were supported by direct contributions and the engagement of a contractor to execute the project.

For efficiency and consistency, a codified structure for project and program development has been developed. This process will assist the Foundation in developing and evaluating projects and programs that are generated from individuals, organizations, Advisory Board(s), and those proposals offered to the Foundation for participation.

Projects:  Proposals up to $50,000 are eligible for development by the Foundation. Projects are designed to fund a single component of a larger program or for a one-time expense. An abbreviated project development process and reporting will be used for projects.

Programs:  Proposals above $50,000 are considered for development by the Foundation under a more comprehensive development and review structure. Program development will involve the engagement of a Program Development Manager to foster the program through all phases of the process.
