Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Our mission is to create financial pathways for solar project funding that are feasible for all communities, income levels, businesses and community organizations. We are doing this because all of us believe that climate change is a critical and immediate threat to our society and the future that the next generations will inherit. There are many solutions, but one is to reduce our global carbon footprint by using more solar energy, and that is something all three of us are familiar with. We want to achieve more solar installed in Virginia, more people knowledgeable about the ways to pay for solar, and a lessening of the energy burden for our disadvantaged communities. We want Virginia to be a leader in fighting climate change and also a leader in environmental and social justice.
Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| During 2025 we developed canvassed hundreds of community serving institutions for suitability for solar. We developed solar quotes and Power Purchase Agreements with three sites: an arts organization in a disadvantaged community, a low-income home, and a women's opioid recovery center, and contracted with the solar installers. All of those installs will occur in 2026. | $0 | $28,071 |
