Introducing the Green Bank for Rural America

We are more than a new bank.

We understand that rural communities have long been at the heart of energy production in America, powering the growth of our nation. We aim to build upon that tradition by helping rural communities gain the most benefit from the new energy economy.

To that end, we provide capital and technical assistance awards that enable local public and nonprofit lenders in Appalachia and across the nation to invest in a wide range of new energy projects in their own rural communities.

Create good jobs that stay in rural communities, helping local communities thrive
