Private Leverage Secures $100,000 Grant from Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas to Advance Green Lending Initiatives
Expansion of Private Leverage's green lending initiatives.
The CBGG program was designed to increase the ability of non-depository Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to support these critical areas. Private Leverage's proposal stood out for its potential impact, particularly in addressing the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas effects in low-income communities.
The grant will be utilized to expand Private Leverage’s green lending initiatives, focusing on under served communities. This effort will be carried out in partnership with Greenwave Partners Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable development and environmental stewardship. The collaboration aims to empower low-income communities by providing financial support for green projects that foster economic growth while mitigating environmental impact. By partnering with financial institutions and community organizations, Greenwave Partners Inc. works to advance green initiatives that benefit both people and the planet.
“Receiving this grant is a monumental step forward for our organization,” said Malcolm Sykes, spokesperson for Private Leverage. “We are deeply committed to making a positive impact in the communities we serve, and this grant will enable us to amplify our efforts in promoting sustainable development. We are grateful to FHLB Dallas and Unity National Bank for their support and belief in our mission.”
As a committed champion for change, Private Leverage looks forward to sharing the progress and impact of this initiative with industry peers and the communities it serves; since inception, 100% of their loans were to minority-owned businesses.
