January 24, 2022Connecticut Green Bank Subsidiary Closed Successful First Crowdfunding Offer with Over $180,000 Raised in a Month

Investors from 25 states participated in the first offering.

Hartford, CT (Jan. 24, 2022) – CGB Green Liberty Notes LLC, a subsidiary of the Connecticut Green Bank, has closed their first crowdfunding investment offering, successfully raising 180% of its target ($180,000) in a month. This first-of-its-kind offering was launched on Dec. 14, 2021, in partnership with Raise Green, a regulation climate tech marketplace for local impact investing. The Green Liberty Notes allowed citizens to invest in the Green Bank’s mission to confront climate change with as little as $100.

“It has become part of our mission to create investment opportunities for everyday people, allowing them to help directly combat climate change, through offerings with lower investment minimums,” said Bryan Garcia, President and CEO of the Green Bank.  “We are excited by the public reception of our first Notes offering, both from families in Connecticut to citizens across 24 other states who are supporting energy efficiency projects for small businesses across Connecticut.”

This initial offering of one-year maturity 1% coupon notes received an average investment of $1,600 and 75% of investments were $1,000 or less. Future issuances of Green Liberty Notes are expected every three months.

“For several years now, the Green Bank has been expanding its distribution channels to reach a broad cross section of investors – from the most sophisticated institutional ESG investors to everyday retail investors. This digital channel through the Raise Green crowdfunding platform is another innovation we’re using to bring access to our investment portfolio to even small-dollar investors across the USA,” said Bert Hunter, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of the Green Bank

Green Liberty Notes support Eversource’s Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program, administered through the Conservation and Load Management Plan. As a result of the climate benefits associated with this program, the offering has been reviewed and verified for its environmental attributes by Kestrel Verifiers.
