Jason Angell tells us why municipally-owned or community-owned solar could be an important tool for providing clean electricity, but also creating a financial asset. He’ll present what his new nonprofit venture, Municipal Solar Partners, offers to towns. This program is a special public presentation from PCA’s Funding Futures initiative.

Funding Futures: Together We Decide is a new training and grant program from Partners for Climate Action. Six Funding Futures Fellows, each from a different town, will learn how to work with their communities to set ecological goals and find funding for them. During the one-year process, our cohort participates in a pilot training and support program to organize community conversations in their towns around environmental priorities.
