About the Non-Profit Energy Alliance

Since its inception in May 2010, the Non-Profit Energy Alliance is now comprised of 50 leading-edge nonprofits that will collectively save an estimated $366,000 compared to standard energy service, while supporting clean sources of energy that are essential to protecting our environment and building a new economy. The impact is equivalent to taking 1700 cars off the roads or powering 700 homes over a one-year period. Participating nonprofits used their collective purchasing power to save on a fixed expense, freeing up resources for essential services while also implementing environmentally sustainable business practices.

The Non-Profit Energy Alliance is a collaboration between the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, Nonprofit Montgomery and the Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington.
