Help Us Close $7,000 Gap to Complete Fundraising for Isaac Dickson Solar System
With more than a year of fundraising behind us,
our nonprofit's Appalachian Offsets program is nearing the finish line in fundraising to install the
$1 million solar system that will make Isaac Dickson Elementary School a net-zero energy building.
After securing a $59,000 contribution toward the project in June thanks to Asheville City Schools allocating a rebate from Duke Energy, we are now only $7,000 away from our $220,000 goal.
We also have a matching donor in place so all of your contributions to this project go twice as far.
Whether you want to use our calculators to offset all or part of the carbon footprint of your home and/or your business, or donate any other amount,
we appreciate your help in reaching our goal!
