From Overhead to Outreach

Client Profile

Grace Community Church, a well-established congregation with a strong commitment to serving its local community, faced mounting utility expenses that were beginning to strain its budget. With a passion for outreach and supporting under-resourced families, the church sought a way to redirect operational savings into programs that would further its mission.

Client's Goals

Reduce overhead costs to increase funds for community outreach programs.

Challenges

1. Outdated Tariff Codes:
  • Grace Community Church had been placed on an outdated rate plan, leading to unnecessary charges.
  • Complex utility statements made it difficult to assess the exact savings potential without expert analysis.
2. Unfavorable Seasonal Rates:
  • Seasonal peak rates were driving up costs, especially during summer months when energy use increased.
  • Lack of control over rate fluctuations left the church vulnerable to unpredictable utility expenses.
3. Inadequate Insight into Potential Savings:
  • Limited knowledge of available exemptions and rebates for nonprofit organizations.
  • Insufficient time and resources to navigate complex utility policies and billing structures.
