Is your Tribal or local government, nonprofit, or school working on a clean energy or energy efficiency project? Join Great Plains Institute (GPI) and the Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) for a free webinar in partnership with the Minnesota Climate Innovation Finance Authority (MnCIFA), the state's new “green bank." In late September, MnCIFA will open round 2 of its Call for Applications to fill financing gaps for exactly these kinds of projects. This webinar will demystify the process and jargon (like “loss reserve” and “CDFI”) and show what a real application and loan process looks like, start to finish.
You'll learn:
- What MnCIFA is and who it serves
- Eligibility and requirements
- How to assess fit and feasibility for your project
- The steps of a successful loan process
- Where to find resources, and how to get help applying
This session is designed for Tribal governments, cities and counties, nonprofits, school districts, and the technical assistance providers who support them. Bring your questions - there's a live Q&A with the MnCIFA team.
