Are there funding sources available to help pay for a DER?
Yes. The BrightBuilt Retrofit will provide the selected NPO with $10,000 in cash to help offset the costs of the retrofit, plus access to $90,000 interest-free loan money. It is the NPO’s responsibility to develop a funding plan and ultimately to pay for the retrofit costs above the $10,000 cash gift. There are federal and state incentive programs which may apply to proposed retrofits, as well as private foundations that support energy efficiency. Our website includes a Resources and Links section which will help all applicants focus their fundraising strategy.
