Community Grant Application

Apex Clean Energy is pleased to support educators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers in the Lyon and Murray Counties community. One small way we can do this is by giving back through the Box Car Wind Community Grant program.

If you represent a group or organization that meets one of our four key funding categories (see below), we encourage you to complete the application below and apply today. While grant dollars are limited, our goal is to fund projects and programs which build healthy communities, create economic opportunity, encourage environmental sustainability and promote education. Applications will be considered as they are received.

A) Building Healthy Communities:

Programs that support good government, open communication, citizen resources, and/or enhance the quality of life in the community. Applicants must demonstrate how the program or event contributes to these social goals.

B) Economic Development:

Apex Clean Energy supports and encourages the entrepreneurial spirit. It is part of our mission to serve as a catalyst for economic opportunity and development within the communities where we operate.

C) Environmental Sustainability:

Programs that possess a strong link to environmental revitalization, sustainability, or education thereof, empower residents to be stewards of the environment, and/or encourage partnerships to address environmental concerns and sustainability. Participating organizations must have a credible record of success in environmental performance.

D) Promoting Education:

Programs that support educational institutions, the advancement of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and training programs for careers in the wind industry. This may include curriculum development, literacy, school readiness, and other initiatives that help students grow into young leaders. Vocational training institutions that help build a skilled workforce are also included and encouraged to apply.
