Community Benefits & Equity Plans Masterclass

As your public power utility applies for an unprecedented amount of federal funding, you must be prepared to demonstrate equity and community benefits considerations in your project plan and implementation. To create a competitive application, your equity planning, labor relations, and community engagement must begin before a funding opportunity drops. 

Though the equity plan is technically 20% of a federal application, your plan is worth much more than that as its impacts are woven into the entire application. Don’t wait for a funding opportunity to drop—begin your community benefits and equity planning now.

This workshop is ideal for utility staff familiar with federal funding and/or preparing to lead a grant application for the first time or in a new context (e.g., at a new organization, on a larger scale, or in a new funding environment).
