Forward Together Wisconsin will be convening local and national stakeholders in Wisconsin to celebrate the successes of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), educate attendees on how to access federal funding to fight climate change while saving money, and create a collective call to action to ensure funding continues flowing into the state. We are excited to bring together federal and state agencies, philanthropic leaders, labor unions, advocacy organizations, community based organizations, school districts, county & municipal governments, leaders in green business, and more to engage in discussions about how to prioritize resources and technology reaching the households, communities and groups that need it most!
This two-day convening is scheduled for October 9th and 10th in Milwaukee at the Baird Center. The event will feature presentations from community-based organizations, local, state and federal government entities, leaders in clean energy, and more subject matter experts to include groups like Wisconsin Conservation Voters, UndauntedK12, Lawyers for Good Government, Ingeteam, Green Homeowners United, the Department of Energy, and more.

Renewable energy projects like solar arrays, wind turbines, and storage resources like batteries save money by reducing energy costs, clean up the air we breathe, and help create good-paying jobs. Now, because of the IRA, eligible entities like schools, cities, hospitals, tribal communities, and more, can receive direct cash payments from the IRS to help fund these projects.

Is your community taking advantage of Direct Pay? It’s an incredible opportunity to invest in solar, wind, groundsource heat pumps, electric vehicle purchases, and EV charging infrastructure — and receive a direct cash payment back from the IRS.. These payments can cover up to 70 percent of project costs and are noncompetitive, so any eligible project should be approved. We’ll be talking about this at @ Forward Together Wisconsin’s Fall Convening and hope you’ll join us to learn more! http://bit.ly/4eYKApR
