Sponsorships Help IREC Respond Nimbly to Pressing Clean Energy Barriers

For nearly 45 years, IREC has served as a trusted, independent voice advancing a clean energy future that is reliable, resilient, and equitable. We champion regulatory and local policies that help clean energy connect to the grid and the workforce development initiatives needed to ensure an inclusive labor force with the skills needed to meet clean energy demand.

While our work is primarily grant-funded, sponsorships make possible key initiatives like our annual Solar Jobs Census—the only report specifically dedicated to tracking and analysing the U.S. solar and storage industry’s employment, economic growth, and trends in recruitment and hiring. This critical report is regularly cited in policy discussions and as evidence of the economic development and job creation impacts of solar and energy storage, and helps companies and nonprofits make informed business decisions.

Sponsorships also help us nimbly respond to new clean energy opportunities and needs as they arise. We can do more to advance a clean energy future with partners like you.

IREC has earned a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid and four out of four stars from Charity Navigator. These independent organizations rate tens of thousands of nonprofits and have identified us as a top-rated 501(c)(3) charity you can support with confidence. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
