In partnership with both public and private sectors, we leverage innovative financing and community investments to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy and climate smart technologies. Freedmen Green Bank & Trust is committed to building a green power footprint and pathway for communities to stimulate economic viability and improve environmental sustainability.
Freedmen Green Bank & Trust has a strategic advantage with delivering greenhouse gas reduction and economic development for Colleges and Universities, faith-based organizations, multi-family facilities, and solarized EV charging solutions in EV charging deserts.
At Freedmen, we don’t just invest in projects. We seek to empower people and partner with them on their impact. Not only will their power bills go down, we will see greenhouse gasses reduced and communities transformed. The monies that are saved will not go back into their pockets, it will go back into their programs for impact.
Our impact partners are not just people who we invest in, but they are people who invest in us. We received a $50K planning grant from Kresge Foundation and a $500K capacity award from The Hive Fund. We are anticipating allocations from our partners with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to continue to make these impacts to continue to support our Impact Partners as we go forward. With these monies, Freedmen is becoming stronger.
