The SunForAll Solar Fund is lending with an impact. Created by CollectiveSun with lead investor BQuest Foundation, and other impact investors, The SunForAll Solar Fund helps nonprofits access the benefits that come with solar energy so they are better able to focus financial resources on their important programs and services. In addition to a 12% or more project discount, the fund provides the remaining cost via a low interest loan. In total, the fund provides 100% of the up front costs. The fund makes solar for nonprofits easy and straightforward by providing a technical review and project feasibility study to help determine the optimal system size and projected savings at the nonprofit’s facilities. With the SunForAll Solar Fund, nonprofits enjoy savings from day 1 and lock in energy savings for 25+ years!

The SunForAll Solar Fund combines 2 components that add up to fund 100% of the solar installation cost:

1. A 12% or more tax-like credit for nonprofits,
2. An 88% loan with a 3.5% rate, 10 year term, no origination or other fees, and a payment and interest holiday during construction

The SunForAll Solar Fund program features the following unique benefits:

• Free technical review and project feasibility study
• No collateral requirements beyond the solar equipment itself
• Favorable underwriting standards
• Below market interest rate
• No payments and no interest until the system starts generating solar savings
• A rolling application deadline
• Savings from day one!

Mission: Seeking to put God’s love into action, San Diego Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

Habitat was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent and affordable home to live in dignity and safety.

About the Organization: San Diego Habitat’s affordable homeownership programs serve families for whom safe, stable housing is out of reach. In addition to building new homes, Habitat provides repairs that make homes safer, healthier, and more efficient. In this way, we help neighborhoods become stronger, more vibrant places to live. Homeowners partner with us to build, and pay an affordable mortgage or contribute towards the cost of repairs. Our work is possible because of volunteers, donors, government funds, and from sales generated from the ReStores, our home improvement retail centers. We also aim to increase sector impact by influencing the way agencies, businesses and nonprofits think about housing issues and how best to address them.
