Indiana Solar For All is a project of the Center for Sustainable Living, a local 501c3 nonprofit organization
with a mission to make solar energy available for lower income homes.. Forty-nine solar
systems have been installed using a community-powered, all-volunteer model since 2018.
Why we’re reaching out. We are currently planning our 50th build for October 4, 2025, and are
fundraising around this exciting milestone to increase our community engagement and continue this
program into the future. We know you are a person who is concerned about Global Warming and have
taken steps to make a difference for our society.
How Indiana Solar for All Makes a difference. At less than $7000 per site, this is the lowest-cost solar
program in the midwest. Through our sweat equity model, home owners participate in their own
installation, and then pay it forward by helping others. We have built a strong volunteer base and
operate with minimal overhead. Our grassroots approach to neighbors helping neighbors builds
community, teaches valuable skills, improves the financial security of homeowners, and contributes to
meeting our community’s goals for greenhouse gas reduction.
Why this is urgent now. Without the promise of federal support for green energy, community-funded
and community-based initiatives like ours are increasingly crucial. The success of our fall fundraiser will
determine our future, and you can help us continue this important community service through various
levels of support. A donation of $1500 would pay for an inverter. $500 pays for one panel, and each
installation uses eight panels. $150 pays for an optimizer (we need eight). $50 pays for racking.
We’re grateful for any level of support you can give. If you cannot support us at this time, perhaps you
can tell friends and neighbors about our program and ask them to make a tax deductible donation. You
can also donate online at insfa.org/donate/ or send a check to:
INSFA c/o Center for Sustainable Living, PO Box 1665, Bloomington, IN 47402.
Thank you for what you do to make our earth sustainable and thank you for your consideration.

We would love to recognize you at the 50th installation event to sign your component, have a photo-op,
and celebrate with the community your donation will help support.
