Climate Finance Solutions is a mission-driven consulting firm that helps organizations secure and manage large public grants to develop and scale high-impact climate solutions. The company claims a strong track record (e. g. , $1. 6B in grant funding secured, €500M EU funding by team members, and a 90% success rate) and provides end-to-end services including opportunity mapping, proposal development, and post-award grant management for multi-million to multi-hundred-million dollar public funding programs (DOE, USDA, ARPA-E, EU programs, etc. ). CFS focuses on lowering barriers to public, non-dilutive capital for companies, NGOs, and projects across climate, energy, and agriculture sectors and emphasizes technical depth, project design, and funder-facing strategy.
