Clove Alliance is proud to announce a generous donation from TurningPoint Energy, a community solar developer with active projects in Kankakee County. This meaningful contribution will help expand access to critical services for survivors of sexual violence across Kankakee, Iroquois, and Ford counties.

TurningPoint Energy’s investment reflects a commitment not only to clean energy but also to the well-being of the communities where it operates. By supporting local organizations like Clove Alliance, the company is helping ensure that survivors have access to free, confidential advocacy, counseling, and resources when they need them most.

“On behalf of everyone at Clove Alliance, we are deeply grateful to TurningPoint Energy for their generous support,” said Tracey Noe, CEO of Clove Alliance. “Partnerships like this allow us to continue providing compassionate services and reaching more survivors in our community. Their commitment to being an engaged community partner makes a meaningful difference.”

Clove Alliance provides a 24/7 crisis hotline, advocacy in legal and medical settings, specialized counseling, and prevention education. These services are offered at no cost, ensuring that financial barriers never stand in the way of support. Last year, they served 627 survivors and their loved ones, and donations from community partners are essential in sustaining and expanding this work.

TurningPoint Energy integrates community giving into every project it develops, focusing on organizations that address locally identified needs. To date, the company and its partners have contributed more than $4.2 million to nonprofit organizations across Illinois.

“We believe our responsibility in Illinois goes beyond delivering clean energy — it includes supporting organizations that strengthen the fabric of local communities,” said Salar Naini, President of TurningPoint Energy. “Clove Alliance provides vital services for survivors across the area, and we’re proud to support their work and the positive impact they make every day.”

Support from partners like TurningPoint Energy plays an especially critical role in ensuring survivors are not alone. Donations allow Clove Alliance to fill funding gaps and put money into services that need it most. Community members, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to join in this effort to create safer, more supportive communities.

“We all have a role to play in supporting survivors and preventing sexual violence,” Noe added. “Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply learning more, every action helps us move closer to a community where everyone feels safe and supported.”
