Inclusive Prosperity Capital

What Inclusive Prosperity Capital does

Inclusive Prosperity Capital (IPC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit specialty finance organization founded in 2018 as a spin-out of the Connecticut Green Bank, headquartered in Hartford, CT. The company operates a clean energy and climate-resilience financing platform targeting markets underserved by conventional capital — primarily low-to-moderate-income (LMI) households, nonprofit and faith-based institutions, affordable multifamily housing, small-to-medium commercial properties, and municipalities. IPC deploys a portfolio of loan products (Catalyst, Navigator, Smart-E Loan, SFA Construction-to-Permanent, SFA Interconnection Bridge), solar Power Purchase Agreements, and structured debt facilities, and since 2009 its Smart-E Loan program has financed over $540 million in home improvements for more than 44,000 homeowners.

The core technology layer is NGEN (National Green Energy Network), a cloud-based project-management platform that connects program administrators, lenders, contractors, and borrowers within a single workflow. NGEN is now externally deployed as the backbone of California CAEATFA's GoGreen Home Portal and integrates live with LoanStar's MerchantLinQ loan-origination system, enabling credit unions to offer clean-energy loans without leaving their existing systems. IPC also operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Inclusive Lending, LLC, which holds California Financing Law licensure.

IPC's revenue model is non-commercial: the organization blends concessionary program-related investments and credit-enhancement guarantees from foundations (MacArthur, McKnight, Kresge) with senior debt from green banks and mission-driven banks (NY Green Bank, Amalgamated Bank, Wells Fargo Foundation) to underwrite loans at terms private capital will not support. Distribution is exclusively partner-based — green banks, CDFIs, credit unions, contractors, and state programs originate or host IPC products — rather than direct-to-consumer. Pricing is quote-based across project, segment, and structure, with no public rate card.

Revenue model

1. Program-Related Investments (PRIs): IPC receives program-related investments from foundations (MacArthur, McKnight, Kresge) as flexible, catalytic capital that can be blended with other private and public capital to create unique investment platforms for underserved markets. These are below-market rate investments that support mission-aligned deployment.
2. Solar PPA/Financing Products: IPC owns and maintains solar systems through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with customers, providing them fixed reduced electricity costs over 20-year terms. Revenue comes from electricity sales under PPAs. Also offers Catalyst loans, Smart-E loans, and interconnection bridge financing.
3. Debt Facilities and Credit Enhancements: IPC provides debt facilities to developers and partners (e.g., $5M to Sunwealth, $12M to PosiGen, $2M mezzanine to Seneca Village). They also receive credit enhancements and guarantees from foundations like Kresge that enable them to leverage additional private capital.
