About this Opportunity

Houses of Worship bind Wisconsin communities together in critical ways. They enrich lives and foster connections through hope and fellowship for their members and solace and social services for their communities. In addition, these organizations positively impact their surroundings by reducing energy waste.

For a limited time, the Focus on Energy Empowering Faith Communities Pilot is coming to your area to identify Houses of Worship ready to benefit from a little extra help with energy-efficient upgrades, including: 

  1. FREE energy assessments conducted by an expert Energy Specialist. This assessment will identify the top energy-saving recommendations specific to your needs.

  2. A qualified list of Trade Ally contractors located in and around your community who can assist with your project upgrades. 

  3. Step-by-step assistance from your Energy Specialist on obtaining quotes, performing upgrades, and understanding your savings potential. 

  4. Elevated incentives of 75% of the first $20,000 in project costs and 50% of costs thereafter, up to $30,000 in total incentives.

  5. Information on no-cost energy-savings measures available for your membership base, along with additional services offered by Focus and Faith in Place to meet sustainability goals.
