Getting Started

Take the first step toward greening your school and realizing General Fund Relief by contacting us today. We'll give you a free, no-obligation consultation and site evaluation.

Below are some of the questions we typically ask to get the ball rolling. We will also have a detailed discussion about your current budget and what you hope to achieve. Don’t worry if you don’t have all of answers--we'll work with you to understand how we can best help you reduce your operating expenses. Once we determine which areas to target for General Fund Relief, we'll schedule an on-site assessment and talk with you about next steps.
