Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis
Coalition for Green Capital
At the Coalition for Green Capital (CGC), our mission is to drive investments in the clean economy to reduce emissions and improve the quality of life for all Americans. By leveraging public-private partnerships and responsive financing, we aim to eliminate barriers to clean technology and promote energy abundance in every community. Our work is guided by a commitment to accelerate the deployment of clean energy technologies across the United States, with a special focus on supporting low-income and disadvantaged communities. For over a decade, CGC has led the Green Bank movement, working at the federal, state and local levels in the U.S. and countries around the world to unlock capital and empower communities to embrace a greener future. Together, we strive to build a sustainable future where clean power is accessible and affordable for everyone.
Our National Green Bank: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken a significant step toward a greener future by establishing the first U.S. national green bank through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). The EPA awarded the Coalition for Green Capital $5 billion to capitalize this national green bank under The National Clean Investment Fund competition, along with $125 million under Solar for All to foster the development of green banks and accelerate solar energy projects in North and South Dakota. Through strategic partnerships and innovative financing, our national green bank aims to create a robust clean energy finance ecosystem that addresses critical market gaps and maximizes the impact of every public dollar invested. This seed funding builds on CGC’s decade-long leadership in the Green Bank movement, which has already led to billions toward clean energy adoption, ensuring that the nation’s climate goals are met.
