A new report from the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA), Energize Your Impact: How Foundations Can Accelerate Solar for the Benefit of Under-Resourced Communities, explores how philanthropic foundations have supported the deployment of solar and solar plus battery storage (solar+storage) in low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities in the United States. It provides a menu of strategies foundations can use to bring clean energy benefits to LMI households and communities and features three case studies on Kresge’s social investments.

The Funders Network, Climate and Energy Funders Group, Environmental Grantmakers Association, and Health and Environmental Funders Network are co-hosting a webinar to discuss this topic and the report findings on April 13. Portfolio Director and Social Investment Officer Joe Evans will be a panelist.  RSVP and more info here.
