Free energy assessments. By local students. For small businesses.

Green Impact Campaign (GIC) is a DC-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that is bringing student volunteers and small businesses together to mitigate climate change. We provide students across the country with cloud-based tools and training to go out and conduct free energy assessments for local, small businesses in their community. Student volunteers receive professional skills through hands-on experience for future careers as climate changemakers. In the process, small businesses receive the custom, actionable information they need to make their business more energy efficient, profitable, and environmentally sustainable.
