Friends of CORE,
Summer in the Roaring Fork Valley is a powerful reminder of what we’re working to protect and what’s possible when our community comes together.
From local nonprofits going all-electric to regional partnerships that move the needle on climate, your engagement is what makes this work possible.
Thank you for being part of the momentum.
John Dougherty
Chief Executive Officer, CORE
P.S. Keep scrolling for exciting updates—from a brand-new all-electric community center to bonus summer rebates and upcoming events across the valley. There's real progress happening and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Join CORE on September 12th for an afternoon designed to inspire and accelerate climate action in our community. With engaging presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and networking opportunities, the Green Expo is ideal for anyone curious about practical ways to make a climate impact. FREE & open to the public, but space is limited!
Summer Special:
Bonus Rebates Are Here
Starting July 20, CORE is offering limited-time bonus rebates for energy upgrades in Eagle, Pitkin, and Garfield counties, available through October 20.
Homeowners, businesses, and multifamily properties can receive an additional $500 for energy efficiency improvements including air sealing, insulation, and controls, and an extra $1,000 for fuel-switching projects such as installing heat pumps. In total, rebates can now cover up to 60% of project costs.
Project Spotlight: English in Action
CORE awarded $40,000 to English in Action to help build their new all-electric, energy-efficient community center. This vital nonprofit connects volunteers with immigrants through English learning and mentorship. Their new space now welcomes 700+ community members into a safe, inclusive, and climate-conscious home.
