Support blueEnergy

blueEnergy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to effecting lasting change in the communities it serves. The organization has a large volunteer contingent, both at a local and international level. These volunteers have invested a tremendous amount of energy and financial resources into advancing blueEnergy’s vision of a locally-based, sustainable solution to energy development in impoverished zones. However, an initiative of this scope cannot be carried out with volunteers alone. To keep the organization focused and moving forward towards its goals, blueEnergy has a small, dedicated full-time staff. This group works long hours for pennies on the dollar, producing significant results on a small budget.

blueEnergy’s ambitious plan for the coming years will require a significant outlay of capital as well as sustained funds to support operations.  We are working tirelessly to diversify our revenue sources and maximize project generated income; in the years to come we plan to make project generated income our primary source of revenue, however the road to that goal is long and difficult, and we need your support to get there.

You can help us build a sustainable future by making a tax-deductible donation today.

You can contribute in many ways, from becoming a monthly donor, to sending a check, to donating that power saw that you haven't touched in years. To find out more about how you can help, please go to:
