Who we are

Founded in 2002, Energy Improvement Matters (EIM) has assisted hundreds of grant applicants and other clients. We’ve provided agricultural consulting and grant writing services for many USDA programs including the Rural Energy for American Program (REAP). EIM strives to help create a greener future for rural America through energy audits, advising, and grant writing.
