CGBN Energy-Saving Equipment Grants

Green Business Engagement National Network (GBENN) and Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks, have partnered to help small businesses in five states (Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, and Oregon) save energy and money by implementing energy efficiency upgrades.

The Colorado Green Business Network (CGBN) will use these funds to purchase energy-saving and greenhouse gas reduction items for businesses across the state. There are many qualifying projects, including LED lighting upgrades, Smart Thermostats, HVAC maintenance …and much more!
