Illinois Solar Decathlon was fortunate to receive substantial funding from SSC last semester and we are extremely grateful for the support from SSC. We are reaching out again for a smaller funding request ($10,000) because one of the non-SSC grant applications Illinois Solar Decathlon was hoping to receive funding from, did not end up working because the grantor did not want to support construction costs and were more interested in public engagement. Additionally, our general contractor costs seem to be higher than originally anticipated. We are trying to reduce these costs but achieving this reduction will be difficult. Also, we are anticipating significant costs for contractor work on the National Mall in DC, where we will present one of the modular units that is part our modular home.
This proposal directly funds:
