About Capital Good Fund

Capital Good Fund is a nonprofit, U.S. Treasury-certified Community Development Financial Institution headquartered in Providence, RI. Founded in 2009, our mission is to create pathways out of poverty and advance a green economy through inclusive financial services.

About America BRIGHT Solar

In 2023, Good Fund launched Georgia BRIGHT, one of the first Third-Party-Owned (“TPO”) solar programs where a nonprofit is the lessor / PPA provider. Made possible by the new Direct Pay provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act, the BRIGHT program has already resulted in nearly two-megawatts of solar and one-megawatt-hour of storage being installed on the homes of low-income homeowners in Pennsylvania and Georgia, and the facilities of houses of worship and nonprofits in Georgia. In April 2024, the EPA recognized the BRIGHT model by awarding Good Fund a $156M Solar for All (“SFA”) grant to reach 16,000 low-income Georgians with over 90-mW of solar and 30-mWh of storage by 2029.
Numerous stakeholders with a similar focus on underserved communities and households have expressed interest in bringing the BRIGHT model to their states. These include other SFA awardees, such as the Nevada Clean Energy Fund, and green banks, such as the New Mexico Clean Investment Center.
