Apply Now: Grants for Schools & Govts in Central Virginia to Go Solar

Secure Futures is pleased to be partnering with the Community Foundation Serving Richmond and Central Virginia in the just-launched RVA Solar Fund.

This new program will offer grants from $20,000 to $100,000 to K-12 public schools and local government agencies in the Richmond, VA Metro Area that enter into a power purchase agreement for solar power installed at their sites. Grant recipients may use the funds for administrative costs, clean energy education, or other on-site energy improvements.

Interested applicants should submit a non-binding notice of interest by November 17. You can get full details about this unique grant opportunity at the RVA Solar Fund website.

And, if you work for a school or local government in the central Virginia area, or if you know someone who does, you may be interested in one of two informational webinars that Secure Futures has scheduled in the next two weeks to discuss the RVA Solar Fund.

In each webinar, we’ll cover the basics of the program and take questions from potential fund applicants and interested stakeholders. The webinars are scheduled for:

• Thursday, November 2 at 10:00 AM
• Tuesday, November 14 at 3:00 PM

To get more information and sign up for either webinar, please email [email protected].

The RVA Solar Fund is a remarkable opportunity for public agencies to win grant dollars while also bringing clean solar power to their facilities – all with a guarantee of reduced net energy costs for 20 years.
