For businesses big and small, there are exciting new funding opportunities for energy efficiency and carbon reduction projects. Here at USGBC West Michigan, we want you to be aware of the opportunities as they become available!
Federal bills such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) intend to make significant investments to reduce carbon emissions and increase public health.
We understand that tracking and applying for grants may not be your typical wheelhouse, therefore we are committed to helping you capture these dollars and turn them into investments for your business.
