The National Energy Improvement Fund, LLC (NEIF) www.neifund.org, a Certified B Corporation efficiency lender, has launched a new offering of Class CF 2.0 Preferred Equity Investment Certificates to support its initiatives in providing fair and affordable financing options for energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to home and building owners. This is NEIF’s first offering through Honeycomb Credit, www.honeycombcredit.com. NEIF completed eight previous successful offerings on the Raise Green Regulation Crowdfunding platform. Raise Green was acquired by Honeycomb Credit in late 2024.
“Affordability is the key to home and building owners making essential upgrades to HVAC, insulation and renewables to improve energy efficiency. NEIF provides seamless financing support and technology to contractors and end users to fill the gaps and support utility and government rebate programs,” said Peter Krajsa, NEIF’s Co-Chair and Managing Member.
NEIF’s Class CF 2.0 Preferred Equity Investment Certificates permit investors to earn a fixed 8.5 percent return on investment of $25,000 or more and 7.00 percent on investments of $1,000 to $24,999, repaid quarterly with principal and interest for seven years while supporting NEIF’s energy efficiency initiatives.
“Honeycomb is thrilled to host NEIF’s latest round of Preferred Equity Investment Certificates. Our acquisition of Raise Green late last year united two mission-driven platforms, creating a comprehensive solution for investors who want to drive local economic growth and sustainable climate initiatives. Together with NEIF, we’re dedicated to making investing in climate-action easy and accessible,” said George Cook, Co-Founder and CEO of Honeycomb Credit.
“Investment in energy efficiency is the clearest path to building health, safety and comfort. NEIF’s work in integrated, streamlined financing dramatically improves the effectiveness of programs and contractor engagement,” said Matthew H. Brown, NEIF Co-Chair and Managing Member.
