Transforming Lives,
One Project at a Time
Addressing climate change goes beyond environmental impact...
... it's also about improving people's lives. Our plan to fund green projects in low-income and disadvantaged communities will deliver healthier air, greener transportation, cleaner water and better-paying jobs to communities across the country.
Picture a future where the JCF network of community lenders funds smaller-scale renewable energy, clean transportation, and energy-efficient homes and buildings, resulting in reduced pollution, improved climate resilience and better lives.
