CollectiveSun receives Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) certification

After a year and a half of waiting, it’s official — CollectiveSun Lending has received its Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) certification from the U.S. Department of the Treasury!

This is a major milestone for CollectiveSun. The designation provides federal recognition of our commitment to expanding access to financing in underserved communities and opens the door to new funding opportunities, lending partnerships, and potential loan guarantee programs.

We’re excited about how this certification can help us attract additional capital, expand our lending capacity, and make clean energy more accessible and affordable for nonprofits nationwide.

There’s still work ahead to turn these opportunities into reality, but this is an exciting step forward!

Looking forward to bringing solar to even more nonprofits across the country!
