GiveSolar Initiative

GiveSolar is a project of the New Community Project, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This project was founded with the generous support of a grant from the Merck Foundation’s Neighbor of Choice Program. Jeff Heie is the director of GiveSolar. Jeff has been involved in advocating for clean energy since 2000. In partnership with GiveSolar and the Solar Seed Fund that they have created, we’ve laid the framework for putting solar panels on all of our homes moving forward. Families with homes that were a part of the GiveSolar project will also contribute to the solar seed fund as part of their monthly mortgage payment. This will ensure that the fund continues to grow and more families will have the opportunity for a solar powered home.
