Grants and Project Funding

The Honnold Foundation has recently announced another grant cycle in support of creative community solar initiatives. Up to $150,000 for solar demonstration projects that could help out the local fire departments, homeless shelters, food cooperatives, schools, public water works, libraries, etc. It could be something for folks to collaborate on or work solo. Proposals are due February 2, 2024. For more details, visit the Honnold Foundation website here.

Sustainable Idaho

The Portneuf Resource Council (PRC) is partnering with the ISU Career Path Internship program again to find a number of paid student interns to fulfill some interesting positions.  Once hired, students could begin the work immediately. 

Every summer PRC is looking to hire ISU juniors, seniors and grad students for the following internship. They are paid positions. 

• Hosts for the Sustainable Idaho radio podcast.   PRC is looking for two new hosts to be trained by our current hosts in preparation for taking over either in the summer or at the beginning of the next school year.

Tabling and Presentations

Frequently, PRC members give presentations to local groups including various church organizations, the Civitans and Rotary Clubs.  We have PowerPoints all ready to go concerning Electric Vehicles and the Inflation Reduction Act.  Let us know if this is of interest to you and we will help you get started.

Much of what we do is talking to people one on one at a variety of tabling events.  These can include the summer Farmers' Market, the EV Expo in the fall, the Environmental Fair, or other events like movie screenings.  At all these events we appreciate help with set up and take down.
