Mission & Focus Areas
NC GreenPower’s stated mission is to expand public knowledge and acceptance of cleaner energy technologies among North Carolinians through local, community-based initiatives. Its 2024 filing describes Solar+ Schools grants for solar systems, energy-efficiency upgrades, and energy-education packages at North Carolina K–12 schools. The organization’s website also describes support for renewable-energy generation and carbon-offset mitigation.
In 2024, the listed grants were for energy education and went to North Carolina schools. One recipient, New Garden Friends School, describes its own mission as creating an inclusive educational community guided by Quaker values and committed to honoring and developing each person’s gifts.
Grantmaking
The filing says grants are awarded to selected schools, but funds are kept at NC GreenPower to pay for the project; it also reports curriculum materials and curriculum training purchased as non-cash assistance.
The largest listed 2024 awards included $42,327 to Mulberry Elementary School in North Wilkesboro and $41,400 each to Cape Hatteras Secondary, Cape Hatteras Elementary, and Manteo High School. Each was designated for energy education. New Garden Friends School in Greensboro received $10,777 for energy education.
Solar+ Schools provides financial support for school solar projects, including the cost of constructing a photovoltaic system; selected schools are expected to fundraise for future operations and maintenance. The program’s solar educational package includes a 20-kilowatt array, STEM curriculum, teacher training, a weather station, and data monitoring. The funder’s program listing describes Solar+ Schools as currently open, but the 2025 award cycle described on its website is past. The available information does not specify a current application process or deadline.
