Sun Club Sustainability Grants (Green Mountain Energy)

Website: https://greenmountainenergy.com/sun-club

Mission & Purpose: To empower U.S.-based nonprofits to implement sustainability initiatives. They are dedicated to protecting the environment by funding projects focused on renewable energy, resource conservation, and clean transportation.

Broad Funding Guidelines: This corporate-backed foundation awards massive environmental grants (ranging from $50,000 to $400,000) to established 501(c)(3) organizations. Applicants must have three years of tax-exempt status. Unlike foundations that fund policy work, they fund tangible sustainability infrastructure that provides measurable environmental and financial benefits to the nonprofit.

Featured Opportunity: The "Renewable Energy & Efficiency Grants" are a game-changer. They will provide the capital support to buy and install a solar array for your nonprofit's roof or purchase a fleet of electric vehicles for your operations, drastically reducing your long-term overhead costs.

Recommendation: An established human services agency, museum, or school that owns its building and needs major capital support to install a solar power system to reduce its carbon footprint and operational energy bills.
