Grant Description

The Building Upgrades Inspiring Local Transformation (BUILT Nonprofits) program, led by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), offers funding to nonprofit organizations for energy efficiency projects that reduce energy use, lower carbon emissions, and generate cost savings. This funding opportunity, made possible through the Biden Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aims to help community-based nonprofits redirect savings from energy costs into their mission-critical activities. Applications are due by November 12, 2024. The BUILT Nonprofits program seeks to allocate $2 million in total funding, with individual awards of up to $100,000. These grants are intended to support building improvement projects that include energy-efficient upgrades such as insulation, lighting, HVAC system enhancements, weather sealing, and energy-efficient appliances. Eligible projects also extend to advanced systems like grid-interactive building technologies, energy monitoring systems, and electric appliances that replace fossil fuel-based counterparts. Roof repairs, window replacements, and necessary electrical system upgrades to enable energy-efficient measures are also eligible for funding.
