multiracial/multiethnic congregation to care for the Earth and reduce the impacts of climate change which are <br />felt most acutely by poor and marginalized people. <br /> <br />Project Benefits: This project will directly benefit the multiracial/multiethnic congregation, the preschool, and <br />day care program for low‐income families, and the many community users of the church, such as AA, <br />Al anon groups and others. In total, approximately 500 people/week will benefit from the ‘clean energy’ <br />generated by the added panels. In addition, our Earth Ministry team is active in all of the towns within Orange <br />County providing education and outreach for the community, our congregation and user groups about the <br />positives of solar energy for the climate, and other topics such as waste‐diversion, global climate change, and <br />environmental issues. <br /> <br />Reviewer Comments: We are excited to support a community organization that is also leveraging the Solarize <br />the Triangle program for additional cost savings. We love the community outreach portion of this application <br />and believe their engagement with the broader community has great potential to reach individuals outside of <br />the direct Binkley Baptist community to educate and inform the community about climate change, programs <br />such as Solarize the Triangle and promoting sustainable practices. <br /> <br />Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $122 <br /> <br />#6 Ranked Project – EMPOWER‐ment <br />Applicant (Collaborators): SolarEquity <br />Funding Requested: $134,562 <br />Recommended Funding Level: $61,623 <br />Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 18 <br /> <br />Project Description: The funds provided by Orange County's Community Climate Action Grant Program <br />will go directly towards installing rooftop solar on EmPOWERment's PEACH Apartments located in <br />Chapel Hill. The funds will cover 18.1% of operations, 100% of equipment, and 100% of personnel <br />costs. <br /> <br />Project Benefits: EmPOWERment Inc. (EI) is building an apartment building. As a partner, SolarEquity will install <br />rooftop solar on the PEACH Apartments, a rental complex for ten low‐income and very low‐income families. <br />Installing rooftop solar will mitigate carbon emissions while decreasing the target population’s energy burden. <br /> <br />Reviewer Comments: We are excited about this project and recognize that EMPOWERment is in the early stages <br />of construction with opportunity to seek additional funds through the next CCAG round of funding and/or other <br />outlets to support the remaining funding need. We feel strongly that the final outcome of this project should <br />emphasize any savings received going directly to the tenants of the PEACH apartments through reduced utility <br />expense. <br /> <br />Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $106 <br /> <br />#7 Ranked Project – Club Nova <br />Applicant (Collaborators): Carrboro Farmers’ Market, NC Botanical Garden <br />Funding Requested: $37,227 <br />Recommended Funding Level: $37,227 <br />Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 17 <br /> <br />Project Description: Club Nova will use funds for completing plans for our garden, greenhouse, and terrace to <br />grow our own vegetables and herbs; purchasing materials for these areas including accessible raised beds and <br />planters, purchasing an energy efficient stackable washer and dryer that utilizes less water and sanitizes <br />reusable items such as dish clothes, cloth napkins, and towels. <br /> <br />9 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: EB7B9CC8-B910-4965-AF93-0969E3E03E78
