Get into REAP Grants

And speaking of REAP Grants – which can cover up to 50% of a renewable energy project’s costs – we have staff who may be able to help rural farms and businesses write and submit these grants. If the grant amount is coming in at $20,000 or less (so the total project could cost would be $40,000 or less), please connect with Colby Abazs at colby@cleanenergyresourceteams.org
