Community Foundation for Southern ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥: Community Foundation for Southern ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and partners announced that $630,000 will be invested to provide solar installations for the following nonprofit organizations through the Nonprofit Solar Project: BICAS; Coyote TaskForce; The Drawing Studio; The Edge School; Emerge! Center Against Domestic Violence; Sonoran Glass School; and Youth On Their Own. By switching to solar, nonprofits will reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs, freeing up resources for programming or other infrastructure needs. The initiative was developed by the Community Foundation for Southern ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ in partnership with Solar United Neighbors and is funded primarily through support from an anonymous CFSA donor. To help expand the project’s reach, ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Foundations contributed an additional $100,000, and ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Electric Power contributed $15,000 toward this year’s funding.
