We are excited to introduce Boom Impact, a new initiative from Boom Planning! From time to time, we will be sending out a Boom Impact communication focused on the connection between social and environmental efforts and financial landscapes.

Our mission is to provide you with the strategies and insights needed to navigate modern finance while attempting to stay true to your principles. Through research and analysis, Boom Impact empowers you to make choices that enhance your financial well-being and promote a sustainable, equitable world.

In this initial communication…
We explore three banking institutions that go beyond traditional norms, supporting causes like environmental conservation, social justice, and community development. We’ll highlight options such as credit unions financing clean energy projects and banks that support affordable housing and climate initiatives, helping you find a bank that aligns with your values.

Clean Energy Credit Union
This not-for-profit, federally chartered credit union focuses on loans for clean energy projects like electric vehicles and solar systems. Its digital-only platform serves members nationwide with checking accounts offering competitive interest rates.

Forbright Bank
Forbright Bank is a full-service bank dedicated to accelerating the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. It primarily offers high-yield savings accounts (HYSA) and certificates of deposit (CDs) designed to support green lending initiatives, such as renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure projects.

Amalgamated Bank
Committed to environmental and social justice, Amalgamated Bank supports climate protection and affordable housing and has a physical branch in downtown San Francisco.

These institutions provide financial stability while positively impacting the planet and society. Please reach out if you have any questions and stay tuned for our next Boom Impact communication!
