We’ve been grateful to be at the center of the struggle for a new community-centered energy economy, illuminating a path forward by widely sharing this vision, performing in-depth research, identifying working models, and arming activists and legislators with innovative policies and vivid illustrations.

For the GiveMN Give to the Max day 2014, we have a remarkable opportunity to expand our funding for our democratic energy program.  The 11th Hour Project has generously offered to give ILSR a $25,000 challenge grant if we can raise an additional $25,000 from other sources  – like you!   That’s $50,000 on the table for ILSR’s energy program!

Your support, doubled by this matching grant, will help us continue our cutting edge work including:

  • Challenging a paradigm of centralized utility control of the energy system by bringing democratic energy into the conversation about the 21st century electric utility (“Utility 2.0”).
  • Highlighting the opportunity “microgrids” are offering communities to control their energy use and energy future.
  • Identifying the most promising models for community and cooperative ownership of energy resources.

Please help unlock our matching funds by donating online today or send in your check by mail to:  ILSR, 2720 E. 22nd St, Minneapolis, MN 55406.

Thank you very much for your support.
