We Need Your Help!
Monthly Donor Circle
Join our community of monthly donors bringing clean energy to nonprofits. Your monthly donations help us ensure that we maximize our impact each time we circle the sun. Your $45 monthly donation can...
- Create environmental sustainability
- Support a local nonprofit by helping them be more resilient. These nonprofits will in turn serve more nutritious meals to children, educate about renewable energy, help homeless individuals regain dignity and self-reliance, protect animals, and much more.
- Offset 1/4 of your monthly CO2 emissions. On average, US citizens generate 21.8 tons of CO2 per year (Carbon Positive Life).
Invest in a world where everyone has access to clean, renewable energy. You're making a difference, every single month!
Fundraise
Birthday Celebration
Make your birthday special. Instead of asking for gifts, ask family and friends to donate your age in dollars to your Everybody Solar fundraiser. Make it easy for them by sending them an e-vite with the link to our donate page. (Photo: Will Clayton)
Double Impact
Make your donation worth twice as much with a dollar-for-dollar match. You can create your own challenge or check with your employer to see if they'll match your donation. Either way, you are doubling your impact.
Travel Offset
Travel 'off the beaten path' while still protecting the planet. Instead of, buying carbon credits, you can make a donation to Everybody Solar to offset your travel impact. Read the Carbon Offsets section created by one of our partners, BPI, to help calculate your donation. (Photo: Moto@Club4AG)
Walk or Run
Organize a walk or run for solar power. Get friends, family and classmates to come together and sponsor a run for your project, and the health of the planet. (Photo:slgckgc)
Pennies for climate
Start a penny jar at your office or school and see how many pennies you can collect. Set a goal and a deadline (maybe a few months, or a school year), and see if you can surpass that goal. (Photo:Terry Presley)
Celebrate Birth
Celebrate the birth of your child and protect their future. Instead of a baby, or in addition to, having a baby registry, ask your family and friends to support Everybody Solar. Add the Everybody Solar donate now link to your baby invitations. (Photo: Botez Ryan).
Recycling Drive
Start a recycling drive in your class or school. Collect as many cans and plastic bottles as possible and turn them in at your local cash redemption recycling center. You might be surprised how many cans and bottles you and your friends are able to recycle. (Photo: Andy Arthur)
Bake Sale
Start a bake sale. Who doesn't like cookies, brownies, and cake, especially when it helps a good cause! (Photo: Ruth Hartnup)
Reduce Your CO2 Footprint
Solar projects are just one way to reduce the amount of CO2 in the air. Check out the tips below for more ways you can make an impact by reducing your carbon footprint.
Switch to LED or CFL lights
as they use less energy than traditional lights and therefore reduce the amount of CO2 being emitted. PLUS: Saves on electricity bills.
Take public transportation, walk or bike
instead of driving – this will reduce the amount of carbon that is emitted from using your car. PLUS: Saves gas money
Eat less meat
especially red meat (beef, lamb & pork). The carbon impact of red meat is higher than poultry or grain. PLUS: It’s healthier.
Raise your thermometer
a few degrees in the summer & lower it a few degrees in the winter – this will reduce the amount of carbon that’s emitted from heating & cooling your home. PLUS: It saves you on energy bills.
Go solar
you’ll be eliminating tons of CO2 from being emitted into the air! PLUS: With state and federal incentives, you could be saving money.
Support local initiatives
as clean and efficient energy, transportation, and urban design initiatives secure a greener future. PLUS: Clean and well-designed cities are more fun to live in.
