- Reduce Your Use grants help nonprofits spend less on electric bills and more on providing essential services
Today, the PNM Resources Foundation announced the recipients of its 2022 Reduce Your Use grants, cumulatively providing more than $200,000 to nonprofits throughout New Mexico. The funds will be used to complete projects that reduce their energy use and lower their electric bills. These projects include solar panel installations, updating heating and cooling systems, energy efficient lighting, energy saving appliances and more. Completion of these projects will not only save energy and money but will mean a cleaner and healthier environment for their clients and staff.
“Saranam’s proposed project construction activities will lead to increased housing stability and increased individual and family resilience for up to 25 unhoused families who will enter our program and reside at the Westside campus,” said Dianne Campbell, Saranam’s Director of Development. “The goal is to construct net zero energy homes. With help from the PNM Resources Foundation, new homes will be supplied with new, energy efficient appliances.”
“We are committed to working with our customers to find ways to help them save energy,” said Laurie Roach, PNM Resources Foundation Executive Director. “These 42 nonprofits are redirecting funds from their electricity costs into their mission, and we are happy to help them in this way.”
Receiving PNM Resources Foundation Reduce Your Use grants means nonprofits reduce both energy use and carbon emissions while fulfilling their mission in our community.
