The Nonprofit Solar Project, an initiative of the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona (CFSA), was developed in partnership with local donors and Solar United Neighbors (SUN).
CFSA recently worked with Technicians For Sustainability (TFS) to complete a solar installation at our Community Foundation Campus. TFS installed 252 solar panels capable of producing 200,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year on the Campus’s rooftops and parking structures.
“In addition to increasing the sustainability of our services and directly reducing operating costs for our nonprofit suite tenants, those panels are helping the Community Foundation minimize our environmental impact,” shared CFSA President and CEO Jenny Flynn. “We are excited to extend that same opportunity to our nonprofit partners through the Nonprofit Solar Project.”
As part of CFSA’s Environmental Sustainability Impact Fund, the Nonprofit Solar Project offers local nonprofits the opportunity to meet a significant portion of their energy needs through solar power. Through the switch to solar, nonprofits will be able to reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs, freeing up resources for programming or other infrastructure needs.
For most nonprofits, investing in a solar installation is too challenging and expensive of a commitment. By offering this opportunity to local nonprofits, CFSA looks to address environmental disparities in our local community and increase the capacity of the nonprofit sector in Southern Arizona.
