Chief Legal and Risk Officer
with Power Forward Communities
The Organization
Overview: Power Forward Communities’ (PFC) coalition of five of the country’s most trusted national nonprofits – United Way Worldwide, Habitat for Humanity International, Enterprise Community Partners, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and Rewiring America – have collectively spent decades building stronger, healthier, affordable communities and homes across urban, rural, and tribal areas nationwide. Together PFC will help Americans, especially those in low-income and disadvantaged communities, adopt clean energy technologies to save money on their home utility bills and improve their health
The current landscape: PFC was awarded a $2 billion grant in the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF) competition in 2024 and will begin to deploy those funds across its five coalition members in early 2025. To do so, PFC is in need of a CLRO to assess, manage and mitigate risk and maintain legal compliance with federal regulations and the grant agreement.
