Financing Local Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects: The National Clean Investment Fund
The GGRF National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF) is providing grants to 3 national nonprofits to establish national clean financing institutions (also sometimes known as Green Banks). Since each grantee will be creating its own system for mobilizing capital and providing financing for projects that reduce greenhouse gasses and air pollution, this webinar provided detailed information about each of the 3 NCIF programs being set up by Climate United Fund, Coalition for Green Capital, and Power Forward Communities. This information will help local governments to decide which program might be the best fit for their green energy financing needs.
