The Green Equipment for Cambridge Businesses and Nonprofits ARPA Program (the “Program”) provides funding to Cambridge based small businesses and nonprofit organizations negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible organizations will receive financial assistance in the form of reimbursement for the purchase of eligible equipment that makes their business operations or building more energy efficient, reduces their use of fossil fuels, or that provide renewable energy to power their business operations. The Program will provide reimbursements up to $250,000.
Applications are available starting now until September 30, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EDT. There is no guarantee that you will secure funding.
