Programs

The Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation currently lends its voice to the ongoing dialogue and debate in four grantmaking programs:

Water
Sustainability Science
Clean Energy
Natural Gas Sustainability

The foundation also continues to earmark a percentage of funds for projects outside of its grantmaking programs, including Cook’s Branch Conservancy, the Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy at Texas A&M University, and other issues that reflect the values and vision of Cynthia and George Mitchell.

To date, Cynthia and George, and the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation, have distributed or pledged more than $400 million in grants to causes, programs, and institutions. Examples of notable legacy initiatives are archived in the website's Legacy of Philanthropy section.
