Green Grants program

Intuit partners with the California Green Business Network (CAGBN) and the Global Business Engagement National Network (GBENN) to offer mini-grant programs and provide green certification opportunities. Each grant recipient receives up to $1000 toward energy efficiency projects and goes through the green certification process to better understand the impact of green upgrades on reducing energy use and lowering costs of doing business.

By helping smaller enterprises embrace eco-friendly practices, the program not only promotes sustainability but also benefits businesses through cost savings and increased efficiency. The program is currently available for small businesses in California, Arizona, Nevada, Illinois, and Oregon, through collaboration with green engagement partners across these states.
