How It Works
Step #1. Improve Your Energy Efficiency
Make energy efficient improvements that qualify for Chelan PUD's incentive program.
Bonus: These improvements also help you reduce your operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for years to come.
Step #2. Apply for a PUD Incentive
Complete your PUD incentive application and assign your rebate (or a portion of it) to Pay-It-Forward.
Your rebate (or the portion you choose on your form) will be paid to the Community Foundation of NCW, who manages your donations. Any remaining rebate will be paid to your organization.
Step #3. Support Your Favorite Local Causes!
Your donation will be loaded on a giving card from the Community Foundation of NCW.
Choose how to split your donation between your favorite local nonprofits in the Community Foundation's online donor portal.
Giving Is Easy
100% of your donation goes to the local nonprofits you choose. Chelan PUD partners with the Community Foundation of NCW to take care of all the details:
✔️ You'll receive a Giving Card with online portal access, so you decide how much of your donation goes to your favorite local nonprofit(s). You can choose to give to one organization or many, or to support a specific campaign, such as Give NCW.
✔️ You'll be sent a receipt for your tax deductible donation from the Community Foundation.
✔️ You decide your level of donor recognition.
Pay-It-Forward Recognition
