What forms of financing are available?

CGC primarily provides structured credit financing across the capital stack, including preferred equity with debt-like features. Typical tenors are three to eight years, including mini-perm structures for longer-dated assets. Financing is structured on market-based terms and may be fixed or floating rate, with credit enhancements aligned with project risk.

Does CGC offer grants as part of its work?

CGC generally does not provide grants apart from our Municipal Investment Fund program, which allocated grants to 50 municipalities—one in each state—to support early-stage project development. See more information here.
