Cathie Mahon, President and CEO of JCF Coalition Partner Inclusiv, joined PixelSpoke’s “The Remarkable Credit Union” podcast to discuss how credit unions can leverage the Clean Communities Investment Accelerator to deploy clean energy solutions in low-income and disadvantaged communities. Learn more and listen below!
Demand for clean energy products is on the rise, and not just from well-to-do Tesla owners. There is also widespread interest and demonstrated need in lower-income and disadvantaged communities. But how can credit unions meet that need? Enter the Clean Communities Investment Accelerator program (CCIA), which is currently offering funding to credit unions and other community lenders to deliver green products, with a focus on the underserved. On this month's episode of The Remarkable Credit Union podcast, co-hosts Katie Stone, MBA, CUDE and Kerala Taylor, CUDE speak with two leaders in the credit union movement, Cathie Mahon, President and CEO of Inclusiv, and Blake Jones, a founding board member of Clean Energy Credit Union. Cathie and Blake share how credit unions can leverage new government funding opportunities and why they are so well positioned to deploy clean energy solutions in their communities. They also address this month’s BIG question: Why should credit unions care about clean energy, and what do they stand to gain from helping low-income and disadvantaged communities deploy clean energy projects?
