This $7,620,000 Cooperative Agreement was awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) to Ecology Action of Santa Cruz, a California-based nonprofit energy efficiency consultancy. The award will fund a two-year project to provide energy efficiency upgrades to approximately 40-55 nonprofit food bank network facilities across up to three western states. The project aims to achieve measurable energy bill savings and greenhouse gas reductions, with a focus on facilities located in disadvantaged and tribal communities. Key outcomes include an estimated 20.7M kWh in lifetime energy savings and 14,455 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions reduced. Ecology Action will serve as the prime awardee and manage a portfolio of sub-recipient nonprofit organizations that own the targeted facilities.
