The state of Washington has launched a new online funding portal, FundHubWA, intended to raise awareness of existing funding for projects relating to energy efficiency, clean energy, and climate resiliency.
Specifically, FundHubWA connects people and organizations in the state with Federal and state grants, tax incentives and rebates that advance clean air, clean energy, and clean technology.
The new digital hub features an easy-to-use database for local governments, individuals, businesses, nonprofits, tribal governments, and public agencies. The hub tracks Federal investments from the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS for America, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, as well as Washington’s Climate Commitment Act, which is funding climate-resiliency programs, clean transportation, consumer rebates and incentives, and clean air programs.
“These historic investments are supercharging Washington’s efforts to fight climate change by making it more affordable for people and organizations to switch away from fossil fuels and confront the damage caused by climate pollution,” Gov. Jay Inslee said. “We don’t want anyone to miss out on an opportunity simply because they don’t know about it. This portal offers everyone an easy way to browse for funding that could help them improve their home, business or community.”
Additionally, FundHubWA’s database covers a range of opportunities including electric vehicle rebates for lower income households, clean energy incentives for businesses, and planning and infrastructure grants for cities, counties, and tribal governments.
FundHubWA was approved this year by the Washington State Legislature. The hub is administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce. And is financially supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act.
