We are raising money to fund a Project Based Innovation initiative called Hyper Inclusive Regenerative Energy DAO or HIRED for short. The objective is to do projects at the Fledge related to renewable energy and regenerative resources. This will include but not be limited to increasing our solar capability by hiring and training Black and Brown owned roofing companies to install the solar. Allowing two advantages: 1) we will get a solar array and reduce the cost to the Fledge year after year (estimated $3,000 per year savings and 8 Year Return); and 2) we will increase equity in the solar panel installation industry. In addition we have small projects like battery building and configuring different solar solutions we already have. Exposing kids and adults to possible careers in renewable energy.
We are hoping to raise $25,000 from the community and are working on matching grants from Federal and State organizations.
