"Every dollar saved is a dollar that can be reinvested in crucial community services, all while helping us achieve President Biden's goal of a net-zero emissions economy by 2050," Jennifer Granholm, secretary of the Department of Energy, says in a press release.

"By investing in nonprofits, DOE is investing in America's physical and social infrastructure, reducing emissions and utility costs in vital institutions so that savings can be redirected to mission-critical work serving communities," Granholm says.
