Arc Finance

Arc Finance is a global non-profit organization dedicated to expanding access to clean energy and water through innovative financial solutions. Established in 2008, it collaborates with microfinance institutions, enterprises, and investors to develop sustainable financing mechanisms such as asset finance, microfinance, remittances, and pay-as-you-go models. The organization provides technical assistance, innovation funding, and business incubation support to accelerate the adoption of clean energy and water solutions in underserved communities. Its flagship initiatives, like the Renewable Energy Microfinance and Microenterprise Program (REMMP) and the PACE-D TA Program in India, aim to improve livelihoods and promote environmental sustainability. Led by co-founder Nicola Armacost, Arc Finance works with global partners to integrate finance and technology, empowering low-income households with essential resources.

By bridging the gap between financial institutions and pro-poor technologies, the organization fosters long-term economic and social development for communities lacking access to basic utilities.
