Game-Changing Green Building Solutions for Non-Profits
Non-profit building owners can now take advantage of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Section 179D tax deduction to upgrade their buildings with renewable energy and energy-efficient property. These incentives, previously only available to commercial building owners, level the playing field for sustainable improvements.
On top of that, non-profits can self-fund their project by packaging these incentives with 100% C-PACE financing, provided by PowerGreen Capital. We'll even cover your upfront costs.
Renewables Projects
The Investment Tax Credit
The ITC provides a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of renewable energy projects such as solar panels, battery storage, wind turbines, and geothermal systems.
But non-profits don't pay taxes, right? Here's the big news: for the first time ever, non-profits can receive a Direct Pay check from the IRS for the value of the 30% Investment Tax Credit!
Energy Efficiency Projects
Sec. 179D Tax Deduction
The Section 179D tax deduction allows taxpayers to immediately deduct the cost of energy-efficient property installed on or in a commercial building in the U.S. The deduction applies to lighting systems, HVAC, and building envelope improvements.
For non-profits, you can now transfer the value for the deduction to the designer of your project, in exchange for a reduced project costs
100%, 20+ Year Financing
C-PACE from PowerGreen
C-PACE financing allows building owners to access low-cost, long-term capital for energy-related improvements in their existing buildings or new construction projects. It works by attaching a voluntary assessment to the property tax bill of the improved building.
The assessment is repaid over a period of up to 30 years by the property owner. The repayment obligation transfers automatically to the next owner if the property is sold. Typically the energy savings from the improvements will completely cover the financing costs, which means C-PACE financing from PowerGreen Capital is self-funding.
