We are pleased to announce that the Gardinier Environmental Fund is contributing $150,000 to support a Sustainable Jersey Grants Program energy grants cycle for municipalities and school districts. Applicants can submit one online application for either a $10,000 ; $20,000 ; $30,000 ; $40,000 or $50,000 grant.    

Grant proposals must focus on either: existing building energy efficiency (excluding lighting-only upgrades); electrification; new construction and significant renovation projects; renewable energy; energy reliability/resilience; transportation efficiency and electrification (EV charging stations are not eligible and EV purchases have limited eligibility); studies, plans and engineering or other energy-related projects. The Gardinier Environmental Fund is particularly interested in projects that take an innovative approach to meeting sustainable energy objectives, such as building electrification, advanced building management systems, fleet management software/telematics, or distributed energy resources that combine renewable energy generation with energy storage onsite. Grant funding can also be used to support projects that aid municipal efforts to achieve a Sustainable Jersey Gold Star for Energy and are innovative models for the state. 

The webinar will provide an overview of the available funding, discuss eligible project ideas, explain the available energy incentive programs, demonstrate how to use the new application portal, go over the application components, and will conclude with a Q&A session. Applications are due Friday, November 5, 2021, at 11:59pm.
