The Philipstown Climate Fund (PCF) aims to help Philipstown residents transition away from fossil fuels towards cleaner, cheaper alternatives. Such actions will reduce household carbon emissions and help our town reach its goal of carbon neutrality by 2040. We understand that the upfront costs of such a transition can be a barrier to action, and we want to lessen the burden on low- to moderate-income households. The PCF Award Program will allow Philipstown residents to apply for partial funding for a specific and measurable piece of equipment with known carbon emissions reductions, such as electric heat pumps, electric hot water heaters, induction ovens/stovetops, and smart thermostats. Award recipients will be determined by way of a lottery. We will fund as many applications as our funding allows and we continue to accept donations to the PCF on an ongoing basis to support future award cycles.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; the lottery draw will occur when sufficient funds have been raised to cover award requests.

Eligibility requirements to apply to the PCF Award Program:
- Must be a Philipstown resident to apply;
- Both owners and renters are eligible;
- Must have an annual household income below $113,000 (the 2020 median household income for Philipstown);
- Must apply to replace fossil fuel-based equipment for electric equipment; for example, gas stove for induction stove top, propane hot water heater for an electric hot water heater, or electric heat pump to replace a zone of fossil fuel-based heating in your home. We require replacement of fossil fuel-based equipment because we must be able to measure a reduction in household fossil fuel usage.
- Cannot be used to replace existing electric equipment for new electric equipment;
- Equipment must be for RESIDENTIAL USE only.
