Now Recruiting: BIPOC-Owned Massachusetts Companies for BuildingEnergy Access

Priority deadline for Cohort 2 Applications is November 9.

Applications are now open for the second cohort of BuildingEnergy Access, a new initiative to support the work of women and minority-owned business enterprises by connecting them with the resources of the NESEA community. In this cohort-based program, business owners receive custom business development services, attend industry events for education and networking, receive marketing opportunities through a spotlight program, and participate in a business-owner peer group to hone their triple bottom lines practices (people, planet, and prosperity).

BuildingEnergy Access is an expansion of existing NESEA programs, supplemented with professional services from our program partner, HELM Construction Solutions. This program is designed to serve businesses led by people who have traditionally been underrepresented in the AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) space, including people of underrepresented gender and racial identities

Who Should Apply?
Cohort Two will serve companies led by BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) individuals, including Latinx-identifying. Because this program is being funded with a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, participating companies should be Massachusetts-based, or perform work in Massachusetts with an individual participant residing within the commonwealth.
