Overview
Organized in 2002, Heartland Utilities for Energy Efficiency (HUEE) represents electric and gas utilities in the Kansas City region. Its purpose is to promote energy efficiency through energy education, resources, and actions to help assure a secure energy future for area residents. The HUEE board will review all requests for funding.

Geographical Boundaries and Population to be Served
This program will operate throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area, which can be generally defined as Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray counties in Missouri; Johnson, Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. In addition, your organization’s utility provider must be one of the following: Atmos Energy, Independence Power & Light, Kansas City Board of Public Utilities, Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative, Kansas Gas Service or Spire.

Organization Eligibility
All organizations applying for a grant must be a not-for-profit [501 (c)(3)] in the state of Kansas or Missouri. Grant recipients are eligible to apply annually unless your organization was approved and received a grant within the past two year period. Priority will be given to groups with a successful track record and/or well established partnerships with other organizations that are participating in the program.

Areas of Primary Focus
HUEE will provide grants to organizations focusing on providing energy efficiency education activities and/or the adoption of energy efficiency measures in the residential sector. Grass roots outreach efforts focused on neighborhoods and/or specific populations are encouraged.

  • Housing stock built prior to 1990;
  • Increasing energy efficiency education awareness;
  • Programs focusing on low/moderate income families including education and following up on issues that need to be resolved (a third party may need to be consulted);
  • General information and techniques to increase energy efficiency; rather than a specific fuel, device, or energy source
  • Purchase and/or installation of residential energy efficient devices i.e. caulking, weather-stripping, outlet/light switch gaskets, low flow faucet aerators and showerheads, water heater insulation pipe wrap, and minor exterior home repair to reduce air infiltration. (Limitations will be at the discretion of the HUEE board.)
  • Labor or materials to weatherize homes in conjunction with a larger program (funding will be considered for small or incidental items; Unit costs must be delineated in the proposal); total costs not to exceed $5,000.00 per grant approved.
