About Us
The Columbus Region Green Fund was founded through a collaboration between, the Columbus Partnership, the City of Columbus, and Franklin County.
With the goal of equitably accelerating the clean energy transition, the Columbus Region Green Fund will mobilize private investment to provide gap financing, remove up-front costs, and maximize the impact of public investments in carbon neutrality, climate resiliency, and inclusive economic growth. It will facilitate a more equitable transition where all Columbus Region residents benefit from a cleaner and prosperous Region.
