Couillard Solar Foundation

Founded in 2018, Couillard Solar Foundation is a ngo headquartered in Deerfield, United States with approximately 10-50 employees specializing in Solar.

The Couillard Solar Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2018 by the Couillard family with a mission to advance renewable energy in Wisconsin. The foundation operates primarily through two grant programs: Solar for Good, which supports mission-based nonprofits and houses of worship, and Solar on Schools, launched in 2019, which helps Wisconsin public schools reduce energy expenses. The foundation has distributed over $3,000,000 in grants and has facilitated 258 solar projects totaling more than 18 MW of installed capacity. Additionally, the foundation designs and sells solar canopies and pergolas, with all net proceeds supporting its grant programs. The foundation operates through a volunteer board and three paid staff members. As of mid-November 2024, the board voted to dissolve the foundation, with a gradual wind-down over one to two years and transition of programs to other organizations.
