Habitat Solar Seed Fund
GiveSolar is on a mission to provide solar power to Habitat for Humanity homes in the U.S. This movement has taken root in Virginia, with a promising partnership between GiveSolar and Habitat for Humanity Virginia, and a proven plan for deployment.
We seek visionary backers eager to support a transition to clean energy while building generational wealth for hard-working, low-income families throughout the country.
Habitat for Humanity, more than any other non-profit organization in the U.S., has the potential to transform the energy landscape while enhancing the affordability of the homes they build. This is true because of the clientele Habitat serves, their strong brand, national reach, and substantial housing stock of both new and existing homes. If Habitat makes significant strides toward accessible solar energy, other homebuilders and affordable housing non-profits will follow.
GiveSolar partnered with 10 Habitat for Humanity state organizations to raise a Solar Seed Fund that will provide start-up funding to launch solar programs in Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Texas. These 10 state organizations support a combined 380 local Habitat affiliates that build approximately 1,650 homes each year. Other Habitat state organizations are considering joining this effort. GiveSolar’s vision is to support the development of Habitat solar programs in every state.
Starting in January of 2024, GiveSolar embarked on raising $1 million in start-up funds for each Habitat for Humanity state office that wishes to launch a solar program.
