Community Development Climate Finance Ecosystem


We work to strengthen community-focused co-developers of climate-beneficial projects – and the financing intermediaries and technical assistance providers working with them – to ensure communities of color and low-wealth communities have equitable access to public and private capital to deploy renewable energy and address climate challenges.

Through our Field Building focus area, we prioritize supporting and strengthening leaders and organizations whose work is critical to addressing climate change while advancing racial and economic justice.

Objectives:

  • Provide support for capacity-building technical assistance, peer learning, and network development to build out the ecosystem.
  • Deploy loans, equity investments, guarantees, and grants for entities building out a new model or scaling an intervention.

How We Work:

We deploy a blend of grants, social investments, and market-rate investments to achieve these outcomes.
