LADWP Community Emission Reduction Grant - Get Support

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is offering grant funds to nonprofit organizations working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in council districts 2, 6, 7, and 15. Eligible projects will improve air quality and work to counter the climate crisis by producing renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency, or promoting the switch to clean and renewable energy sources. LADWP is especially interested in supporting innovative projects that engage communities in improving the environment.

CNM is ready to help you submit a competitive proposal to the LADWP next month. Your topics can address projects allowed under the Cap-and-Trade regulation:

  • Renewable Energy or Integration of Renewable Energy
  • Energy Efficiency and Fuel-Switching (i.e. switching from natural gas, propane, or diesel to electric equipment)
  • Energy-efficient equipment rebates
  • Energy-efficient building retrofits
  • Other projects that reduce energy demand
  • Infrastructure projects including public or private electric vehicle infrastructure
  • Other projects supporting active transportation, zero-emission vehicles, or public transportation

 

We will provide the grant writer, a scientist / thought partner to help design your plan, and experts to help you define the evaluation metrics — all free. If you serve the Harbor and Northeast San Fernando Valley communities (Council districts 2, 6, 7, and 15) contact Carlos Cazares to learn more: [email protected].
