What are the benefits of participating?

With willing community partners, the Save-To-Give Challenge offers several potential benefits to participating residents, local utilities, and the local government or community itself.

Participating residents benefit from:

• increased awareness of low- to no-cost actions to save money on home energy bills,
• increased awareness of eligible utility programs for deeper energy savings (and available incentives), and
• the ability to “give” financially to a local cause at no cost of their own.

Local utilities benefit from:

• receiving free resources and support to assist their customers,
• increased residential energy savings,
• increased customer satisfaction, and
• strengthened relationships and opportunities to engage with customers and local government.

Local governments and the community benefit from:

• Focus on Energy team’s support and technical expertise in running a fun, community-building, and unifying challenge to save energy,
• financial investments made directly to a local charity, and
• residents gaining greater awareness of opportunities to reduce their energy bills through low- and no-cost behaviors.
