Request for Proposals (RFP): Induction Cooking Education and Awareness Grant

East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) is offering a Community Investment Grant of up to $300,000 to a local organization that can increase Induction Cooking Education and Awareness throughout EBCE’s service territory.

The successful grantee will propose and identify induction cooking event opportunities, and plan, design, and execute events. Induction Cooking Demonstrations are intended for community education and increasing awareness of induction technology.

EBCE seeks responses from proposers on program concepts for a service-territory community education program including:

• Customer Education: increasing consumer awareness of induction technology
• Training: increase hands-on experience and motivate consumer action to switch to induction
• Customer Enablement and Giveaways: equipment raffles, electrification enablement

Potential Program Concepts:

• Induction demonstrations at farmers markets, community vendor events
• Induction cooking demonstrations, cooking classes, cooking competitions
• Tabling at community fairs or other events
• Competitions and equipment giveaways to stimulate participation

Induction cooking education events may include, though are not limited to, these examples. We’d love to receive your innovative ideas!

Preference will be given to organizations with proposals focused on equity priority communities.
