About the fund

The Afterglow Climate Justice Fund focuses on the root causes of the climate crisis through an intersectional lens of racism, classism, capitalism, economic injustice and environmental harm. The fund lends to organizations serving communities living in persistent poverty, facing high energy costs, lacking access to clean transportation, and disproportionately suffering from the effects of extreme weather. The Afterglow Climate Justice Fund seeks to expand access to and ownership of affordable clean energy solutions for communities marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by climate change. The Fund was specifically designed to achieve these goals by providing debt to primarily community-centered clean energy developers to finance distributed generation solar installation projects, electric vehicles, green buildings, and other projects, with an explicit focus on serving such historically marginalized communities. Complimentary benefits will include providing relief for wealth-deprived communities, eliminating prejudice and discrimination, and combating community deterioration.
