OUR MISSION

We mobilize capital and resources to strengthen under-resourced communities, funding projects that provide clean energy, support cleaner air and water, improve public health, and build economic resilience so all people across the nation can thrive.

Our goal is to reach a wide range of communities, from rural Appalachia to urban areas to the Midwest, the Southeast and beyond. Investing in rural and under-resourced communities will have a transformational impact and help leverage even greater investment where it’s needed most.

OUR VISION

We are a catalyst for change leveraging the power of partnerships to build a just future. We drive transformative investments that strengthen communities by expanding access to cleaner energy, cleaner air and water, a healthier environment, and a more resilient economy. ​

Through its network of community lenders, JCF is driving transformative investments that strengthen communities across the country — from rural Appalachia to urban areas like Chicago and Philadelphia, and the Midwest, Southeast, and beyond.

Economic Benefits

Working with our network and community lenders, we create opportunities to accelerate investment in under-resourced communities nationwide. Clean energy projects create well-paying jobs and leverage greater investment where it’s needed most. 

Healthier Communities

All Americans deserve clean air and clean water. Our work supports projects that reduce pollution in communities across the country and help restore environmental resources.  

Leveraging Partnerships

We believe in the power of partnership. We are a national nonprofit partnering with community lenders and stakeholders at the state and local level to fund projects ranging from clean energy to clean transportation to energy-efficient affordable housing. We are stronger, together.

Working together, we can empower millions left behind to be at the center of transformative change that will deliver economic benefits and a better quality of life for all.
