Connecticut Green Bank Subsidiary Opens Investment Offering to Citizens to Kick Off 2023

Using Raise Green’s award-winning online platform, anyone can invest as low as $100 to support small business energy efficiency in Connecticut and help confront climate change

 

Hartford, CT (January 10, 2023) – CGB Green Liberty Notes LLC, a subsidiary of the Connecticut Green Bank, proudly launches their fifth Green Liberty offering, a crowdfunding campaign made possible in partnership with Raise Green, an award-winning online marketplace for impact investing. Through this offering, Connecticut residents and citizens nationwide can invest as little as $100 to support small businesses improving their energy efficiency and reducing energy costs.

“Through four offerings in 2022, we have raised more than $800,000, primarily from investors here in Connecticut. The last two offerings were sold out and the number of investors across the country continues to grow. We are encouraging citizens to learn about the opportunity to make a difference and earn a competitive return on their money,” said Bryan Garcia, President and CEO of the Green Bank.

Notes are easy to purchase through an online platform without a broker, with $100 minimums. To date, 67% of the investments made have been $1,000 or less, and more than half of the investors have been Connecticut residents.

New to this offering, the Green Bank is proud to offer investors from the first round of Green Liberty Notes in January 2022 the opportunity to reinvest their principal and interest in this offering. Anyone who invested in the first round and who invests in this offering, either by reinvesting their principal and interest or by investing a different amount, will receive an interest rate increase as a thank you for their early support of the Green Liberty Notes.

Investments in the Green Liberty offering support Eversource’s Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program, which enables small businesses in Connecticut to reduce their energy costs through efficiency upgrades and zero interest loans.

As a result of the climate benefits associated with the SBEA program, this Green Liberty offering has been reviewed and verified for its environmental attributes by Kestrel Verifiers.
