Powering Possibility: Why CHF Supports GRID Alternatives

At Change Happens Foundation, we believe meaningful progress occurs where innovation meets equity. That’s why we are proud to support GRID Alternatives, a national leader in making renewable energy technology and job training accessible to underserved communities.

Our partnership with GRID stems from a shared conviction: that clean energy should not be a privilege—it should be a right.

Leveling the Playing Field with Solar

GRID Alternatives brings solar power to families and neighborhoods historically excluded from the benefits of the green energy economy. By installing no-cost solar systems for low-income households, GRID not only reduces energy bills—it delivers lasting economic relief and energy independence for communities that need it most.

But GRID’s work doesn’t stop with panels on roofs. Through hands-on solar installation training programs, GRID also opens career pathways in one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country. Veterans, formerly incarcerated individuals, and young people of color—many of whom face barriers to employment—gain the skills, certifications, and confidence to become leaders in the clean energy transition.

Aligning Values with Impact

Our support of GRID Alternatives is rooted in Change Happens Foundation’s core values: opportunity, sustainability, and inclusion. It’s not just about reducing carbon footprints. It’s about building futures. It’s about turning rooftops into platforms for resilience.

GRID’s model of community-powered solutions exemplifies what we look for in a partner: a commitment to systemic change, scalable innovation, and real-world results.

A Just Energy Future Is a Shared Responsibility

The climate crisis is not just an environmental issue—it’s a human one. As we move toward a greener future, we must ensure that no community is left behind. GRID Alternatives helps turn that vision into action, and we are honored to stand beside them in that work.

When we say “change happens,” this is what we mean: transforming lives by expanding access, empowering people through knowledge, and investing in solutions that serve both planet and people.

Let’s power possibility—together.
