A Bit About Us

We are a national coalition dedicated to ensuring that every American—no matter where they live or what challenges they face—can participate in the transition to clean energy and reap its benefits, such as quality jobs, cleaner air, and lower energy bills. We provide loans for clean energy projects to communities and small businesses that lack access to affordable financing options.

We are building a stronger economy, enhancing affordable housing, and developing robust local workforces to secure lasting benefits for our communities and the future of our planet.

Together, we have a long history of deploying more than $30 billion of private and institutional capital to combat climate change and create lasting economic opportunities in low-income and underserved areas that have long been underinvested and disproportionately affected by pollution.
