FGS Global is working with the non-profit Power Forward Communities coalition in the area of federal funding support as Donald Trump returns to the White House.
In August, PFC won a $2B seven-year National Clean Investment Fund grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to decarbonize homes and apartments, especially those in low-income and disadvantaged areas.

That outlay—made possible by president Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, is to start flowing into projects in early 2025.
