The New Mexico Climate Investment Center (NMCIC) is excited to announce the launch of a Small Loan Program for small businesses and nonprofits serving New Mexico. The program will provide affordable financing in the form of individual loans of up to $250,000 to help fund energy efficiency, clean energy, electrification, and other emissions-reducing projects.

NMCIC is New Mexico’s first “green bank”, an investment fund created to accelerate the state’s transition to clean energy and climate resilience. Its mission is to reduce energy burdens and greenhouse gas emissions while fostering economic prosperity and equity for communities across New Mexico. In addition to the Small Loan Program, NMCIC offers bridge financing, permanent, construction, and C-PACE loans for projects that reduce GHG emissions, increase energy or water efficiency, lower energy costs, and bring benefits to low-income and disadvantaged communities.

Please visit the NMCIC website for more information and to apply for financing through the online intake form. Application deadline is August 31, 2025.
