The Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (ICECF) was established in December<br />
1999 as an independent foundation with a $225 million endowment provided by<br />
Commonwealth Edison. ICECF provides financial support for projects that advance<br />
specific program priorities related to increasing energy efficiency, expanding the use of<br />
renewable energy resources, and preserving and enhancing natural areas and wildlife<br />
habitats throughout Illinois. ICECF will consider grants for fuel cell projects under its<br />
renewable energy program, which solicits demonstration projects and policy<br />
development leading to wider adoption of fuel cells, solar thermal, biomass or emerging<br />
renewable energy technologies.<br />
