CORE links

The CORENA Fund only accepts donations, but investment in community-owned renewable energy projects is also an excellent way of speeding up the transition to renewable energy. If you prefer to invest rather than donate, you might find an investment opportunity that suits you in the following list.

Help us keep this listing up to date! Please let us know if we have missed any community solar projects being funded via investment, or if any of the projects below need updating. Email updates to admin@corenafund.org.au

Note: These links are provided here as a convenience, not as an endorsement. It is up to you to seek further details from the relevant organisers before deciding to invest in any of these community projects.
