We are excited to announce that the Lowlander Center placed first in the Greater New Orleans Foundation’s 2024 Pitch It! Innovation Challenge. The $50,000 grant we will receive will support our “Sky Power for the People” project, which brings emergency, portable solar panels to communities in need.
Combining cutting-edge solar power innovation with community empowerment, this project addresses the needs of housing security and power resiliency, especially in areas prone to hurricanes and power outages. The initiative not only encourages the use of clean energy but also builds local skills through workshops, enhancing both resilience and equity.
