Riverstone Solar is accepting applications for its new community grant program. Riverstone Solar has committed to donating up to $20,000 to local charitable causes within the next six months.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis through the end of the 2021 calendar year.

We feel strongly about doing our part to contribute to the community, especially in this difficult time.”
