Give a Watt for the Holidays!

Looking for a great gift for your friends or family this holiday season? Give the gift of renewable energy!
You can give a little or give a watt!

 
TAC is accepting donations, in partnership with Denver Urban Ministries (DenUM), to install a 10kW solar electric PV system at the DenUM headquarters, located at 1717 E. Colfax in Denver. This PV installation will save DenUM more than $60,000! 


DenUM's programs serve financially disadvantaged families by giving them support when they are in crisis, helping them stay in school, keep their jobs, and feed their families with limited resources.  More about DenUM


Your tax-deductible donation to
The Atmosphere Conservancy will be matched
three to one  with grants, rebates, and incentives.

Give a gift that will keep on giving as long as the sun is shining in Denver. Give a Watt and TAC will send a card to the recipient of your choice.  Read More
