It is a common assumption that you need a large amount of resources to make an energy efficiency campaign work well. But our experience with our second partner, South Dakota, shows a community organization can make a well-planned effort work.

We partnered with a group of involved citizens who were looking to make a difference in one of the coldest states in the nation. By walking through their options and helping them understand the extent of the impact the HeatSmart Campaign can have, we were able to design a custom package that fit in their budget.

Too often, concerned individuals worry that they don't have the resources to help out in their community. We feel that there's always a way, and we're happy to help anyone figure it out.
