Ecority, a nonprofit coalition of credit unions and state-chartered green banks, has applied to the EPA-administered Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF).

Key Points: 
  • Ecority, a nonprofit coalition of credit unions and state-chartered green banks, has applied to the EPA-administered Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF).
  • Ecority has previously encouraged EPA to cap pass-through charges for green banks to no more than administrative cost recovery.
  • Ecority’s support of a national network of federally regulated, community-embedded lenders and state-chartered green banks assure local priorities will be aligned with access to the resources of GGRF.
  • Through Ecority’s program, more households will have access to affordable financing resulting in more direct and immediate cost savings and GHG-reducing clean energy projects.
