“We branded the #SBLII the BOLD North. I’m not really sure how often MN truly is bold, but I think we can be.” #EnergizingImpact

“Integrated capital could start with a grant and then utilize a larger fund. @McKnightFdn has done this in Greater MN.” #EnergizingImpact

“We have a thriving impact investment ecosystem in MN. Organizations may just need to think about capital differently.” #EnergizingImpact

“We’re building out a community #solar market place so investors can find projects to support across the country.” #EnergizingImpact

The Energy Score - how well someone pays their utility bill - is ready to replace the Credit Score for any MN projects. #EnergizingImpact

“Our VC investors care about the size of the market. Impact investors care more about expanding access to that market.” #EnergizingImpact

.@susan_hammel: “Here in Minnesota, we have foundations that have been investing for impact for years.” #EnergizingImpact

“If someone pays their utility bill on time, that predicts their ability to pay for solar better than any credit scores.” #EnergizingImpact

“90 million US households can’t access the rooftop #solar market. Community solar is a great way to expand that access.” #EnergizingImpact

“Impact investing adds a philanthropic lens that ensures clean energy projects are community owned, built, and designed.” #EnergizingImpact

“An impact investment is one that meets an financial return and a measured social impact. If it’s not measured, run away.” #EnergizingImpact

.@BenPasser: “Low & moderate income households face significant barriers to access clean energy. We want to change that.” #EnergizingImpact
