Please choose the best description for the type of project: <br />☒ Infrastructure/Clean Tech: New <br />☐ Infrastructure/Clean Tech: Repair <br />☐ Infrastructure/Clean Tech: Replacement <br />☐ Communication/Education <br />☐ Natural Systems Management/Restoration <br />☐ Circular Economy/Waste reduction <br />☐ Analysis/Plan <br />☐ Other (Please describe): <br /> <br />9. Please choose the primary climate change mitigation focus for this project (select all that apply): <br />☐ Energy Efficiency <br />☒ Renewable Energy <br />☐ Beneficial Electrification <br />☐ Carbon Sequestration <br />☐ Other (Please describe): <br /> <br />10. Has your organization or have your collaborators/partners completed projects of this type in the <br />past? If so, what funds were used? <br />☒ Yes <br />☒ Funding used (Please describe): A single rooftop solar panel installation has been funded and is <br />to be installed in early 2021. Funding was by cash donation from Rotary and in-kind donation <br />from Southern Energy Management. <br />☐ No <br /> <br />11. If this project is not selected for funding in this round, what other funding might be used to support <br />it within the next 5 years? <br />☐ Other capital or operational funds <br />☐ None. This is a unique opportunity. <br />☒ Unknown (please describe below): If this project is not selected for funding in this round, we will <br />seek funding from (as yet unidentified) alternate grant sources. Already secured sources alone <br />would not be sufficient to fund solar panel installation on ten homes, and the scope of the proposed <br />project would need to be reduced if funding was not fully awarded. In addition to funding from <br />Rotary and in-kind contributions from Southern Energy Management, we are also researching the <br />possibility of Duke Energy solar rebates and/or federal tax incentives. We have been in contact with <br />some nonprofit solar organizations, but funds are not currently available. While other grant sources <br />will be sought as they are available, this will significantly delay the implementation of the project. <br /> <br />12. Please select the jurisdiction(s) where your project is focused and briefly state how your project <br />aligns with the relevant Climate Action Plans (no more than 2-4 sentences). <br />☐ Carrboro: https://townofcarrboro.org/928/Community-Climate-Action-Plan <br />☐ Chapel Hill: In progress, please refer to the website to show alignment. <br />☒ Orange County: In progress, please instead show alignment with the Orange County BOCC Goals <br />and Priorities. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 0E2E518B-BEF7-4AF0-8D07-FCD05F094BD6
