Each week, Superpowers for Good shares a list of new impact-related offerings added to FINRA-Registered Crowdfunding portals and by broker-dealers. We’ll share four separate lists:

  1. Impact offerings determined by our proprietary analysis.

  2. Offerings with minority founders.

  3. Deals with women founders.

  4. Those with LGBTQ founders.

Sometimes, it takes weeks for our source to determine that a company has a social impact, a woman, minority or LGBTQ founder. When we discover an offering qualifies for our list, even if it is no longer new, we will include it. See the lists below.

Community solar projects like this one allow residents—especially those unable to install rooftop panels—to subscribe to local solar energy and receive utility bill credits, increasing access to clean, affordable power. Enterprise Energy is known for its personal approach to development, maintaining strong Relationships with landowners and host communities while efficiently navigating land use and permitting processes.
