Partner: Iron & Earth East

Iron & Earth East is the Atlantic Canadian chapter of an oilsands worker-led group championing a shift to renewable energy in Newfoundland and Labrador. The group focuses on green energy investment and renewables training for traditional energy sector employees who are out of work.

Iron & Earth East recently met its crowdfunding goal for a 100% renewably powered demonstration project – thanks to help from the bullfrogpowered community. Bullfrog matched all contributions to the crowdfunding campaign – even tripling them in the final two days of the campaign.

About our community projects

Activists and organizers across the country are working to transition their communities away from fossil fuels. We created our community-based green energy projects grant to provide critical funding for these local efforts.

All bullfrogpowered customers help fund these small-scale, community-led projects, including solar panels on schools and in Indigenous communities, education and training programs, and a cleantech accelerator.
