Sustainable DuPage

The Illinois Green Business Association has partnered with Intuit, the maker of Quickbooks, and the Green Business Engagement National Network (GBENN) to offer energy efficiency and electrification grants up to $1,000 for 45 businesses in Illinois!

It’s a great time for small businesses to reduce utility costs! There are many qualifying projects, including LED lighting upgrades, EV charging stations, HVAC maintenance, and much more. Participating businesses can also leverage the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program incentives to sweeten the funding towards an energy project too.

To qualify for the grant, Illinois businesses must:

  • Be under 100 employees or less or bring in equal to or less than $2.5M in revenue annually
  • Have been assessed through Takeout 25 previously, or enroll in the IGBA Green Business Baseline program or Certification program.
  • Complete their energy efficiency project by May 30th
  • Provide project completion documents (proposal, invoice, etc.)
  • Be willing to have their story featured by us, GBENN, or Intuit after project completion!
