Stop Wasting. Start Saving.
We understand that every organization is unique. That is why we offer a variety of financing options and services, each with distinct benefits that will allow your organization to finance your project in a way that works for you. Our finance and technical staff will work with you to help you realize energy savings and increase your bottom line.
Why C-PACE?
Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) is an innovative financial tool for property owners to obtain low-cost, long-term financing for energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation projects. C-PACE can provide up to 100% financing of total project costs by placing a special voluntary assessment on the property that repays the costs of the upgrades including equipment, labor and soft costs.
Why Do We Invest?
As a nonprofit, we recognize that we don’t have the capacity to make the large amount of change that we want to see. This is why we believe in investing in other companies that share our vision of a sustainable energy future. We invest in companies by providing lines of credit, doing equity investments, and more.
Why Choose a Commercial Loan?
Sustainable energy projects benefit every member of the community, but are often too costly for businesses, non-profits, and other entities to finance independently. To make these projects possible, Sustainable Energy Fund offers a creative approach to loan structuring and commitment to sustainability help the maximum number of borrowers receive the funds required to achieve greater energy efficiency. Additional benefits of this program include 100% financing, competitive interest rates, no prepayment penalty, and a social impact for nonprofits.
Why RFO?
RFO offers a sustainable solution to significantly reduce an institutions’ carbon footprint by utilizing virtually carbon-neutral renewable sources. Appreciable payback periods and financial incentives both in place and on the horizon offer strong economic considerations, and locally sourced feedstocks provide added economic benefits to various industries across the region.

Why Choose a Stipulated Energy Savings Agreement?
Stipulated Energy Savings Agreements are an innovative approach to financing energy projects for commercial entities in which future energy savings pay for the energy upgrades. These savings agreements are structured so that your energy consumption after installation is less than the energy consumption prior to installation. Depending on the energy systems replaced, the project could be cash flow positive from the beginning.
