Nonprofit Energy Efficiency: Grants for Cost Savings

This new act establishes a grant program for nonprofit organizations like hospitals, schools, and youth centers to help them reduce energy consumption. These facilities can install energy-efficient materials, leading to lower utility bills and allowing them to reallocate saved funds to their core missions. Citizens may indirectly benefit from improved services provided by these supported institutions.
Key points
Nonprofit organizations (hospitals, schools, youth centers, faith-based groups) can apply for grants up to $200,000 to improve their buildings' energy efficiency.
Grants cover the cost of installing energy-efficient materials such as roofs, lighting, windows, doors, HVAC systems, and renewable energy systems (e.g., solar panels).
Priority for grants will be given to projects demonstrating the greatest energy savings, cost-effectiveness, and financial need.
The program is authorized to receive $10 million annually from 2021 to 2025, aiming to reduce operating costs for community-vital facilities.
