Clean Energy for Nonprofits

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provides $50 million over five years to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to implement the “Energy Efficiency Materials Pilot Program” and award grants to help nonprofits improve the energy efficiency of their facilities. Installing energy efficiency and electrification measures can help nonprofits reduce operating costs, free up resources to advance their core missions, set a good example of environmental stewardship, and improve the health and wellness of their employees, volunteers, and those who use their services.
