A Wave of Giving is on the Way

You don’t have to wait until Colorado Gives Day on December 8 to make a difference. Early giving opens November 1, so you can support CORE’s work to reduce local emissions and help more neighbors, businesses, and community organizations take climate action.

Join Colorado’s Wave of Giving with a gift to CORE.

Inside a Home Energy Assessment

A Home Energy Assessment identifies energy leaks and prioritizes upgrades to improve comfort, save energy, and reduce emissions. CORE’s Energy Concierge helps you understand the results and explore funding.

Curious about the process? Our partners at Energy Smart Colorado walk you through what to expect in a three-minute illustrated video. Watch to see what an assessment could reveal about your home.

Energy Spotlight: Comfort, Community, and a Circle of Giving

Read Robin's Story

Longtime Roaring Fork Valley resident Robin Waters upgraded her Frying Pan home’s aging propane system to an energy-efficient electric heat pump with CORE’s guidance and a $7,500 rebate.

Grateful for the support, Robin donated to CORE to help more neighbors benefit from the same local expertise, continuing a circle of giving.

Local Innovation Earns National Recognition

The all-electric Carbondale Aquatics Center won Torus Clean Energy Project of the Year at the Mountain Towns 2030 Climate Summit.

CORE’s Gina McCrackin accepted the honor, which recognized it as a model for other towns and was made possible through local collaboration, along with CORE’s technical guidance and funding.

Building IQ Benchmarking Program: Influencing Change

Building IQ Report

Aspen’s Building IQ program is in Phase Two, with the City and CORE using building performance data to target funding and technical support to reduce emissions.

“Benchmarking helps building owners understand where they are today, while High-Performance Building Plans show them where they can go,” said Cedric Gamble, CORE’s Director of Climate Action Programs.

How Does Amendment 82 Affect Your Energy Choices?

A NO vote keeps current laws and regulations in place. Communities, consumers, and programs like CORE’s can continue supporting clean energy choices through local processes.

A YES vote would permanently establish a constitutional right for utilities and distributors to sell natural gas and for consumers to purchase it. This measure could undermine local climate action, restrict communities’ ability to transition to clean energy, and lock in continued reliance on fossil fuels.
