Support Clean Energy Progress
States are the driving force behind clean energy progress in the US.
The Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) is a bipartisan nonprofit organization working to support state leadership in clean energy across the country. CESA members — mostly state agencies — include many of the most innovative, successful, and influential public funders of clean energy initiatives in the country.
Clean energy has made remarkable strides over the past decade, and with your support, we can maintain the momentum.
- Fifty-three percent of the US population lives in a state with a 100% clean energy goal – and CESA is helping these states reach their targets.
- CESA facilitates and supports a bipartisan network comprising 51 out of 55 state-level and multistate Solar for All awardees, representing 87% of the nearly $7 billion awarded to support low-and moderate-income solar programs.
- CESA brought together more than 200 state and federal government officials and program staff who are working to implement IRA/BIL programs, including representatives of 37 states plus the District of Columbia.
- Twelve states have established procurement goals for energy storage – one of the most important clean energy enabling technologies – and CESA’s energy storage policy working group facilitates their progress.
- States have contracted for 11,344 megawatts of offshore wind power, and 174 megawatts are already online – and CESA’s offshore wind program enables state collaboration.
CESA is funded by its members, by foundations, and by the U.S. Department of Energy, as well as by donations from individuals. We need your help to expand state efforts to advance markets, to improve access to clean energy technologies in disadvantaged communities, and to promote a just transition to a clean energy future.
Will you help us to sustain clean energy growth across the country?
The Clean Energy States Alliance is a 501(c)(3) organization and your contribution is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Thank you for your support!
Here is some feedback CESA has received in recent months about our work with states:
“I'm just going to say that your clear guidance on this matter basically saved our application from likely being outright rejected.”
“Your efforts helped our state energy office advocate for the maximum amount of funds for low-income state residents.”
“With a relatively small team, you all are immensely collaborative, creative and offering great impact to states and the wider field.”
Donor Advised Funds
A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes.
If you have a donor advised fund, DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to the Clean Energy States Alliance directly from your DAF (as long as your DAF’s sponsoring organization is participating).
Use the DAF Direct form at the right to make a donation.
