RE-volv

For 10 years, RE-volv, has been fighting climate change by accelerating the adoption of clean energy in communities across the country and educating community members around the benefits of renewables. Specifically, we finance solar energy for community-serving nonprofits that would not otherwise be able to go solar. Although we started as a crowdfunding organization, RE-volv has recently gone through a significant period of growth. In 2020 alone, with working capital from an impact investor, we were able to deploy nearly $8M of solar projects for nonprofits in disadvantaged communities across the country that otherwise wouldn’t have access to capital.

Southern Capital Project is led by and created for women, on a mission to close the gender wealth gap by ensuring women in the South have equitable opportunities to build wealth. We believe in the power of women to build wealth for themselves, their families, and their communities. We envision an economy rooted in equity and opportunity, where women have access to the resources they need to fully participate, to lead, and to thrive. Our Southern Women’s Fund provides flexible, appropriate capital to women entrepreneurs in the South.
