"Marketing is not usually where foundations invest their funds, and it is a skill that most nonprofits don't have. But the environmental message alone is not enough to make a difference to most electricity customers. We needed more effective marketing information, strategies and tools. That's why foundations joined with the Connecticut clean energy fund to create SmartPower, and its successes growing the clean energy field is why we continue our support."

“The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund was one of the original founders of SmartPower in a unique partnership with major foundations to make Connecticut a leader in clean, renewable energy. And sure enough, SmartPower used their marketing expertise combined with their on-the-ground know-how to engage citizens to take action to purchase clean energy. Our investment in SmartPower paid for itself many times over by creating a clean energy infrastructure that allows us to continue to build upon the original successes.”
