With grant funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE), and other federal agencies, CDFAs, CDFIs, green banks, credit unions, and others have the opportunity to strengthen communities by financing clean energy technology programs that lower energy costs and cut harmful pollution.
