Quantified Ventures’ Green Bank and Climate Resilience work revolves around two simple ideas:
Investing in environmental infrastructure is investing in climate.
The influx of climate funding should be leveraged in tandem with green banks to maximize benefits.
Our team works with green banks, state resilience offices, public financing agencies, and other similar organizations to drive investment into environmental infrastructure – with a focus on clean water, climate-smart agriculture, and sustainable land use.
We help our partners identify investable pipelines of environmental infrastructure projects and structure financing programs that flow capital into projects most effectively. This process requires community engagement, identifying project outcomes, financial analysis, and evaluating additional funding sources. Our goal is to create an ecosystem through which any community can access low-cost capital to implement the most important local climate resilience projects.

Representative Partnerships and Projects
A strategic collaboration between the Coalition for Green Capital and Quantified Ventures received a $1 million investment from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to design, capitalize, and scale equitable water infrastructure. As part of this work, CGC and QV are selecting 6 existing green banks to receive ~$50,000 each in grant funding and technical assistance to build a pipeline of clean and equitable water infrastructure projects that will directly benefit disadvantaged communities.
This report, commissioned by the Environmental Defense Fund, evaluates best practices from State Revolving Funds to support market- and nature-based approaches to flood risk reduction and water quality improvement. These best practices are applicable to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) because the Safeguarding Tomorrow through Ongoing Risk Mitigation (STORM) Act authorizes FEMA to establish hazard mitigation revolving funds to reduce risks from disaster, natural hazards, and other related environmental harm.
In 2021, the state of Connecticut expanded the scope of the Connecticut Green Bank (CGB). Under its new charter, the CGB is empowered to finance improvement projects related to water, agriculture, climate adaptation and resilience, land conservation, waste and recycling, and parks and recreation, in addition to its original mandate of projects focused on residential solar and energy efficiency. QV partnered with CGB to facilitate this transition.
