Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL) envisions a Georgia where all people live safely in a healthy environment, a stable climate, and resilient communities. We believe that vision begins with having a meaningful say in the civic institutions that create policies that shape our world. GIPL’s commitment to getting out the vote and civic education is yet another tool in our toolbox of empowering communities, congregations, and people of conscience to care for our Common Home!

APPLY FOR GRANT FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE WORK!

This year, GIPL has two separate grant opportunities for Green Teams to apply for:

Engagement Grant

This grant encourages participation in upcoming Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts in Georgia around the Public Service Commission. Awards are based on the number of unique volunteers your congregation or Green Team commits to turning out over the GOTV season. What counts is unique people, each completing at least one volunteer shift. More volunteers and more shifts are always welcome — the numbers below are the minimums to qualify.

  • $500 tier — At least 2 unique volunteers from your congregation, each completing at least one GOTV shift.

  • $1,000 tier — At least 4 unique volunteers from your congregation, each completing at least one GOTV shift.

This grant can fund any area of a Green Team's work: civic and policy engagement, planting and grounds projects, composting supplies, energy efficiency improvements, or general sustainability operations for your congregation.

APPLY FOR GOTV ENGAGEMENT GRANT

Security Grant

This grant supports partners hosting nonpartisan GOTV events. It provides up to $1,500 for security measures at participating 501(c)(3) congregations. Funds are self-directed by local site leadership and can cover up to 2 security officers (armed or unarmed), mobile vehicle patrols for neighborhood canvassing, secure document shredding, and digital threat mitigation. To be eligible, you must have a registered Green Team with GIPL, and your non-partisan GOTV event must reference the Public Service Commission race.

APPLY FOR GOTV SECURITY GRANT

The Public Service Commission (PSC) is a five-member elected body created to regulate Georgia Power and ensure that consumers receive safe, reliable, and reasonably priced electric, telecommunications, and natural gas services. Elected statewide for staggered six-year terms, two seats on the Commission (Districts 3 and 5) are on the ballot this year. All Georgians can vote for all seats.
