The mission of the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation is to fund high-impact projects in Texas that intersect environmental protection, social equity, and economic vibrancy. They aim to accomplish their goals through strategic, long-term grantmaking, guided by disciplined and intentional funding decisions, and by continually adjusting strategies based on evolving accomplishments and opportunities in their areas of work.
The Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation's grantmaking focuses on initiatives that promote clean energy, land conservation, shale sustainability, sustainability science, and water management. The foundation supports efforts to meet Texas's power demands with minimal environmental impact, enhance the role of distributed energy resources, and encourage community-scale energy projects to reduce industrial emissions. It emphasizes the vital role private landowners play in conservation and the importance of stewarding Texas's diverse ecosystem for future generations. In shale sustainability, it leverages George P. Mitchell's legacy in shale gas development to contribute to the dialogue on sustainable practices in the field. The foundation also champions sustainability science as a multidisciplinary approach to solving environmental and social challenges and prioritizes ensuring water resources for a sustainable future in Texas, acknowledging the critical challenges in water management the state faces amid changing conditions.
