The Strategic Energy Action Toolkit is an open-source resource developed by the New England Grassroots Environment Fund and Vital Communities, in collaboration with the New Hampshire Local Energy Solutions Work Group and the New England Local Energy Network, with funding support from Jane’s Trust Foundation, NH Charitable Foundation, and Barr Foundation. The Toolkit is designed to help energy committees and groups find the right balance of strategy and action for maximum impact.
