The CCIA program is open to all credit unions and cooperativas based in any U.S. state or territory, or serving any Tribal entity. Over the next three to four years, Inclusiv will provide 300 to 400 credit unions with grants ranging from $275,000 to $11 million. The grants will help cover operating and capitalization costs of their green lending programs, as long as 100% of these funds reach LIDACs.
Credit unions DO NOT need to have a green lending program in order to participate. Inclusiv will provide training to credit unions to design their green lending program as part of the grantmaking process.
Current CCIA Program Status
CCIA funds were formally obligated to Inclusiv via an award agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on August 16, 2024. With our award now in hand, Inclusiv, as a CCIA recipient, can begin to provide funding and technical assistance to credit unions (CUs). Inclusiv is moving forward with the delivery of our CCIA program in accordance with the EPA-approved program workplan that is posted below.
