The Clean Fight

About the fund

The Deployment Grant Fund is a catalytic financing vehicle created by The Clean Fight in partnership with Builders Vision and Breakthrough Energy Ventures to accelerate the adoption of ready-to-scale climate solutions across the United States. Built on five years of deployment work supported by NYSERDA in New York State, the fund provides grants of $50,000 to $250,000 to reduce risk, lower upfront project costs, and validate new business models for climate technologies in buildings and other hard-to-decarbonize sectors. Anchored by Builders Vision’s philanthropic capital, with technical expertise from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the fund aims to raise $10 million to support “first-of-many” deployments that unlock additional investment from corporates, developers, and financial institutions. By targeting early commercial projects where uncertainty and cost remain barriers, the Deployment Grant Fund acts as a bridge between proven technologies and large-scale market adoption—demonstrating how small, strategic grants can unlock major emissions reductions, strengthen resilience, and catalyze follow-on capital for climate infrastructure nationwide.
