Microfinance has completely invaded my life of late. My thesis, titled ‘Green Microfinance: A Blueprint for Advancing Environmental Sustainability and Social Equality in the United States,’ is about 80% complete, and obviously deals with the various ways in which microfinance can be used for advancing environmental aims. In addition, the non-profit that I co-founded, The Capital Good Fund, is in the middle of a pilot phase, and I have been very busy speaking to and meeting with applicants. Lastly, I have been working with my business partner, Mike, and the company we founded, The Capital Good Group, Inc. so launch an innovative financing mechanism that covers 100% of the up-front cost of doing residential energy-saving upgrades and is, in effect, a microfinance program as well. I haven’t written here in a while, and I want to provide some updates on these projects, as they are all intimately related despite the fact that one is a masters thesis, the other is a non-profit, and the last is a for-profit.
The Capital Good Fund
We have made a lot of exciting progress recently. First, we just launched our new web site, www.capitalgoodfund.org. On the site, you can learn more about microfinance, see our community partners, check out the latest updates on our program, make a tax-deductible donation, download a loan application or find out how else to get involved with us. We are really excited to have the site up, and we have already received inquiries from potential borrowers through the site!
