As part of NY Green Bank's commitment to ensuring that at least 35% of our capital is committed to projects that benefit DACs throughout New York State, we conducted an extensive stakeholder engagement process.
Participants in this process provided extremely valuable input, including suggesting the potential for a low-cost funding pathway for CDFIs and other mission driven lenders to expand opportunities to deploy clean energy finance in historically marginalized communities. The CDF was developed as a direct result of this feedback.
As we work to address barriers to accessing capital for clean energy projects within historically underserved communities, NYGB will continue to engage with stakeholders and potential clients to identify and evaluate additional opportunities.
