About Andy

Working Towards A Restorative Economy

I am the Founder & CEO of Capital Good Fund, a non-profit, certified Community Development Financial Institution that takes a holistic approach to fighting poverty. We provide small loans, solar and battery-storage leases, and one-on-one financial and health coaching to low-income individuals and families. Our mission is to create pathways out of poverty and advance a green economy through inclusive financial services. Since 2009, and as of Apri 2025, we have financed over $55 million in loans and leases to 17,000 families, with a 97% repayment rate.

I am a firm adherent to the dream of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner and ‘Father’ of microfinance, to put poverty into museums.

I believe that creative business models, advanced data analytics, and a mix of market and mission-centered forces can lead to dramatic social change
