Local Governments
The Campaigns team at Rethink Energy Florida aids local governments interested in taking action against climate change with grant writing and research assistance. With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, unprecedented funding is available to advance sustainability plans and renewable energy in Florida. The Inflation Reduction Act includes many provisions allocating funding to state and local governments including Direct Pay for tax-exempt entities. Direct pay allows tax-exempt organizations to claim the benefits of tax credits by receiving payment from the Treasury Department in lieu of claiming the credit on their taxes.
Rethink Energy provides customized grant presentations based on priorities within the sustainability plans of local governments in order to ease the time-intensive process of finding grant opportunities. If you are interested in more information about possible opportunities for your locality, please reach out to our Associate Director of Campaigns, Marion Knowles, at marion@rethinkenergyflorida.org
