Solar Panels

UPDATE May 15th: Praise God! We've reached our original $100k funding goal for the main system. Additional funds will be used for future solar maintenance & repairs, IDEA's general fund, and/or dormitory repairs.

Rising electricity and food costs are straining IDEA’s ability to meet student needs. Over the past five years, electricity costs have increased by 50%, diverting resources from critical programs, while rising food prices make it harder to provide nutritious meals for our students.

To address this, IDEA is raising $100,000 for a 200kw solar energy initiative that will drastically cut electricity costs and allow IDEA to reinvest almost fifty thousand dollars annually back into the Deaf community.
