CDE's Capital Construction staff members are working with the Colorado Energy Office and the Governor’s Office to find grant opportunities to improve energy efficiency in Colorado schools and potentially align opportunities with Building Excellent Schools Today grants in the future. Visit the Energy Improvements at Public School Facilities program webpage for information on this initiative.

Below are two federal grants with applications due soon:

Concept papers for the Renew America Schools Grants are due Thursday, Jan. 26, and applications are due April 21. Schools can now apply for these grants with anticipated awards ranging from $500,000 to $15,000,000. Eligible activities include HVAC and lighting upgrades, renewable energy systems installation, alternative fuel vehicles and associated infrastructure improvements. Priority will be given to schools that serve as community assets and those that serve the highest-need districts.

Energy Champions Leading the Advancement of Sustainable Schools Prize grants are due Tuesday, Feb. 28. Energy CLASS is accepting applications from up to 25 local education agencies to receive $100,000 to help staff and train administration and facilities personnel as energy managers.
