Thank You to Our Donors!

We'd like to thank all the individuals and organizations who contributed to our Annual Appeal. With their help, we not only met our $10,000 matching challenge from NESEA Business Member Abode Energy Management, we also met our fundraising goal for the entire fiscal year (July 1, 2019–June 30, 2020).

Donations are vital to the continued success of our organization, and we rely on the generosity of our community to support the member-driven, peer-reviewed, and cutting-edge content we offer throughout the year. You can donate here or make a pledge here.
