About Us
Climate United is a national investment fund supporting solutions that tackle our nation’s toughest economic and environmental problems. We remove financial barriers to clean technologies so every American can benefit from good-paying jobs, lower energy bills, and better public health.
The Climate United coalition is made up of three expert organizations with decades of experience directly deploying more than $30 billion of private and institutional capital to unlock economic opportunity in all 50 states.
We invest in projects that improve lives.
Climate United provides affordable, accessible financing for clean energy projects in communities that are often overlooked by traditional investing – including rural, Tribal, and low-income communities. Our investments level the playing field by reducing risk and ultimately pave the way for more private capital to flow to these communities.
Climate United’s investments go beyond local impact; we are transforming markets by driving demand for American-made clean technologies. From solar to electric vehicles to green buildings, we rely on American suppliers and small businesses to bring projects to life. Increased demand for domestic manufacturing reduces costs while making the U.S. more competitive, secure, and energy independent.

Our Impact
In April 2024, Climate United was competitively awarded a contract with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Clean Investment Fund program to mobilize private capital and increase access to solar, electric vehicles, and green buildings through innovative financing.
Since then, we’ve invested millions in projects and programs that benefit communities across the country. From solar in Arkansas to electric trucks in California, Climate United is supporting local economic development while creating historic demand for American-made clean technologies.

Our History
Our coalition was formed to bring deep experience to managing this new federal program. For decades, each Climate United coalition partner has raised and managed billions of dollars to drive economic opportunity and a better life for millions of Americans. Together, we bring a strong track record in the capital markets, trust in communities, and internal financial infrastructure to ensure these federal funds are managed with the highest standards.
Climate United Fund, the prime recipient of the award, is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit formed for this program. It is a separate legal entity but is a part of the Calvert Impact family of organizations that have been in operation since 1995.
