Federal Clean Energy Tax Credit Assistance Program (CETCAP)

In the first half of 2025, Earth Ministry/WA IPL is working with Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) to help sacred communities (e.g. churches, temples, synagogues, gathering centers, etc.) take advantage of the benefits that the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides with the Clean Energy Tax Credit Assistance Program (CETCAP). CETCAP provides free legal, technical, and filing assistance to faith and sacred communities across the state with support from funds from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act.

The program will help you learn about:

IRA clean energy tax credits
Determine eligibility based on project
How to access the tax-credits

While providing training, fact sheets, and additional resources to help your community increase your understanding on tax credits and direct pay.

If you’re in the planning stage, this free legal assistance will best help your community design your clean energy projects and ensure that you will make the most of your IRA tax credits.

If you’ve already completed an eligible project, you will be able to receive support in every step of the filing process and have registration and tax forms e-filed on your behalf!
