Georgia Power Awards the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) With a $30,000 Rebate for The Agency's Grants to Green Campus HVAC Controls
MJCCA Continues to Support Environmental Sustainability Efforts Agency-Wide
Grants to Green provides environmentally focused knowledge and funding to strengthen nonprofits in the Atlanta region. The founding partners of Grants to Green who collaborated with the MJCCA in this initiative were: Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, who provided their expertise in grant making; Southface, who provided their expertise in energy efficiency and conducted the energy assessment of the MJCCA’s campus; and the Kendeda Fund, dedicated to exploring how we can build a more equitable world, one in which we use resources wisely.
“The Grants to Green Campus Grant allowed us to bring in Carrier Corporation, which installed our state-of-the-art HVAC controls system,” explained Powers. “This initiative furthered the MJCCA’s commitment to transform how our agency operates and delivers services, establishing the MJCCA as a strong environmental steward and leader in the community.”
“We are grateful to the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta,” said Rick Murphy, MJCCA’s Director of Facilities. “As a direct result of the Grants to Green Campus Grant that the MJCCA received, we were able to ‘green’ the buildings, site, and operations at our Zaban Park campus, helping us to maintain Environmental Sustainability.”
“Additionally, we are appreciative of Georgia Power’s Commercial Energy Efficiency Program for the recognition and presentation of the rebate that the MJCCA received as a result of the HVAC control system we installed,” said Murphy. “GP's commercial rebate program made incorporating energy-efficient improvements into the MJCCA more affordable.”
