While we can’t promise a return on every investment, projects listed on our platform undergo strict due diligence to give investors access to secure long-term contractual cash flows.
Our projects are often new companies, which comes with investment risk. Every project listed on Raise Green’s marketplace has passed our due diligence process, which includes a review of the company and project financial models, so that you can be more confident that every investment opportunity on our investor marketplace fits our R.A.I.S.E model.

Types of projects on Raise Green
Investing with Raise Green isn’t just about making money. It’s about getting money directly into the hands of clean energy and climate action companies to benefit local communities. And it’s about making projects happen through collective action that otherwise might not exist!
Types of projects
Solar Power

You can now own a piece of a solar project powering your local business or community. Our projects are focused on community scale solar projects i.e. larger than residential solar but smaller than 5 megawatts). Solar energy costs continue to decrease (approximately 74% in the last 10 years), which is helping to accelerate installation as communities make the shift to renewables.
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure

It’s not just about powering your neighbor’s Tesla - Electric vehicles (E.V.’s) are an exciting, growing industry that’s decarbonizing our communities and cutting air pollution. Thousands of E.V. charging stations are being constructed across the U.S., and funding E.V. infrastructure with Raise Green is a way for you to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels to help reduce our collective transportation footprint.
Company Debt and Equity

The next generation of venture capital, angel investing and local green bonds is here, and it’s community-led! Raise Green hosts a variety of climate action companies that are looking for capital to expand their impact and reach. You can invest or lend money to a company and receive interest! Many of our debt and equity climate action project offerings are structured around secure timely payments and are focused on energy efficiency, community resilience.
Development Capital

Originating projects requires time and dedication, and sometimes cash upfront. Clean energy entrepreneurs and developers need backers who believe in them. Not every originator has the flexibility and funding to bring their project to Notice to Proceed or Commercial Operations Date before raising capital on our marketplace. They may need to pay expenses for various services to plan the project e.g., engineering or interconnection studies. They may even need to pay themselves for the time they put in to bring a project to the point where it is ready to sell. Whether it's a first time Originator, or an experienced solar developer, getting a development capital loan to kick-start their solar business or next project makes all the difference.
