Say It Ain’t So, Solar Lenders!
August 22, 2021

Go on the website of any environmental nonprofit worth its salt, and you will see language about the imperative to ensure a “just transition” to a green economy. The Climate Justice Alliance defines a just transition as “a place-based set […]

Exciting Things in the Works!
August 9, 2021

When Good Isn’t Good Enough
July 12, 2021

If there’s one thing I’ve learned running Capital Good Fund, it’s that sometimes good is good enough and sometimes it isn’t; knowing the difference is crucial. Take our DoubleGreen Loan, which we’ve offered since 2010. Ranging from $500 – $50,000, […]

Coming Full Circle: How the Pandemic Has Radicalized Me
April 11, 2021

I Condemn the Attempted Coup
January 10, 2021

Capital Good Fund Turns 11 – And I’m 35!
February 12, 2020
