Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP)
About the Program
NJ’s ESIP is a form of energy performance contracting that allows government entities to make energy-related improvements to their facilities using the value of energy savings that result from the improvements. The ESIP law was enacted in 2009 and updated in 2012. It provides all types of government entities – from school boards to municipalities to state governments – with a flexible tool to lessen their environmental impact, save money, and reduce their energy usage for minimal costs.
ESIP can help accomplish any retrofit strategy (major HVAC, minor HVAC, onsite generation, facility improvements, etc.) but can also leverage multiple strategies. ESIP can be used as a way to find energy savings; upgrade equipment; and improve indoor air quality. As government entities struggle to offset these costs, a performance contract can be a solution to afford the upgrades. ESIP is based on financing today’s improvements off of tomorrow’s savings for little to no cost.
Let’s accelerate meaningful change!
Our mission is clear: to accelerate meaningful change through effective communication. We work through four core activities: capacity building, storytelling, services and grant support for NGOs.
We believe in storytelling that inspires action, builds trust and promotes constructive narratives.
CF strengthens organisations by building the skills and confidence needed to communicate effectively.
Why a Communication Foundation?
Many NGOs and UN organisations operate with limited budgets and few staff trained in professional communication. Added to this, shifting politics and growing conservatism create new challenges for their work. To remain resilient and amplify their impact, organisations must strengthen their identity and invest in communication.
When approached strategically, communication can shift from being a perceived obligation to a powerful opportunity. With the right focus, even limited budgets and capacity can be maximised to create and deliver clear, effective strategies unlocking advocacy, fundraising, and public trust, and ultimately driving meaningful, lasting change where it is most needed.
Storytelling Review – Master your mission’s story
Your story defines how people understand your organisation, its values and its impact. A Storytelling Review helps clarify and strengthen your narrative so it consistently reflects who you are, what you stand for and why your work matters.
CF’s Storytelling Review is a structured review of how your organisation communicates its story across channels and formats. We assess narrative structure, key messages, tone of voice, audience focus and coherence to understand whether your storytelling supports your mission and strategic positioning.
How it helps you
Dry data often fails to inspire action. This review helps you to find the "heart" of your work and communicate it in a way that sticks.
What We Do
Why it matters
NGOs operate in complex and competitive environments, where clarity and credibility are essential. Strong storytelling:
Over time, stories can get fragmented or can lose their meaning.
Different projects may tell different versions of your mission, diluting impact.
A Storytelling Review restores focus and alignment within your communication.
