Electrify Montrose promotes the reduction of fossil fuels as a source of energy in our lives by encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles, appliances, and home utilities to improve air quality and create a healthy and efficient community.
About Us
We are now an official 501(c)(3) fact-based nonprofit organization as of June 23, 2026, which will help us greatly in expanding our mission of educating and empowering our community on how to save money on energy bills, improve air quality inside and outside resident's home, and embrace cleaner, more energy efficient solutions. Through our various outreach programs, residents will become aware of the benefits of moving to an all-electric lifestyle which includes home electrification and owning and driving an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle.
Atlasta Solar Center is a valuable, trusted partner and, without them, our
mission would not be successful.
Help Us Continue Our Mission
Now that Electrify Montrose is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your donations can help us expand our educational outreach and community programs.
Our current goal is to raise $800 on GoFundMe to purchase exciting STEM and clean-energy-themed prizes for our Spin & Win activities at community events such as the Montrose Farmers Market. The wheel attracts kids, and the kids bring their parents along—turning a fun activity into an opportunity for the whole family to learn about clean energy.
Your support also helps us:
-
🎓 Create educational materials about energy efficiency and ways to save money on energy bills
-
☀️ Teach children and families about solar and other renewable energies
-
🚗 Educate our community about electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles
-
💡 Provide information about energy rebates and energy assistance programs
We're taking our message directly to the community through farmers markets, community events, presentations, and hands-on educational activities.
