Environmentally Sustainable Enterprises

Environmentally Sustainable Enterprises

Historically, low-wealth communities have been disproportionately affected by poor environmental quality, high-energy prices, and unhealthy land use policies.  Self-Help established its green lending initiative to protect the interests of its borrowers and to help reverse these negative trends.

Who We Serve

• Manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of recycled goods
• Producers, wholesalers, and retailers of sustainable agriculture and forestry products
  

• Manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and installers of renewable energy and environmental technology
• Organizations incorporating energy efficient or “green” components in their facilities
• Businesses and nonprofits offering sustainable services
• Land conservation organizations
• Businesses and nonprofits located in “Smart Growth” areas, such as downtowns

What We Offer

Self-Help has financial products tailored to your organization’s needs, whether you’re a micro-business needing a few thousand dollars, or an established business seeking funds of a million dollars or more.
