Hooray! This year Spark Northwest was selected as a finalist for the 2024 BECU People Helping People Awards. Last week was the awards ceremony, and what an honor it was to be among so many inspiring organizations. We learned that over 1000 nonprofits were nominated this year, so kudos to Spark Northwest for being one of the 18 finalists selected. Thank you BECU for the incredible support and recognition!

This one warms the heart during these chilly days! RMI recently highlighted the Energize! King County Program I’ve been privileged to work on with Spark Northwest and King County, WA! It’s inspiring to see the tangible impact this program is having—providing cleaner, more efficient energy solutions in communities like Skyway and White Center. The program’s success wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of so many partners and the thoughtful outreach we’ve done, including multilingual workshops and prioritizing households with the greatest need. Having admired RMI’s pioneering work in energy and climate for years, it’s an honor to see our efforts featured alongside other transformative projects nationwide. This collaboration has truly embodied the power of peer learning and community-driven solutions. With nearly 100 installations and more in progress, Energize! King County is helping families reduce costs, stay comfortable, and contribute to a more sustainable future. We've got more to come in the next year and I look forward to seeing how we continue to electrify our communities both near and far across the U.S.! https://lnkd.in/gufzB9cn #heatpumps #electrifyhomes #cleanenergy
