Project Financing Assistance LLC is one of seven companies that operate under American Diversified Enterprises LLC (ADE). The other ADE companies assist with preparing federal government grant and loan guarantee applications, provide third-party services such as environmental assessments and feasibility studies, and carry out due diligence and analysis.

In addition, ADE has established companies to advance innovations in agriculture, media, the environment, and transportation. ADE also maintains a strategic collaboration with an advocacy organization that CJ Evans (as a registered Capitol Hill lobbyist for the past 40 years) co-founded in 2019, the Alternative Fuels & Chemicals Coalition, which is now the second largest bioeconomy lobbying group in the U.S. with 150+ member companies that employ more than 600,000 people and generate in excess of $350 billion per year.

Project Financing Assistance (PFA) was formed to address two major gaps in the financing that is available to advance new initiatives: the difficulties in (1) securing development capital and (2) obtaining financing for first-of-their-kind projects (see attached descriptions).

These gaps cause years and years of delays and swallow far too many worthwhile projects that could benefit society and the planet, which we never will know about because they were unable to advance.

As a registered lobbyist, CJ has been involved in establishing and working to improve two federal loan guarantee programs … the only programs of their kind … that were established as bridges “over the valley of death” for developers of first-of-their-kind technologies. The valley of death is the gap in financing between the grants and seed funding that are available to develop and validate a new initiative … and the funding that is needed to move through the final Technology Readiness Level (TRL) to commercialize it.

As useful as the federal loan guarantee programs have been (one of which gave Tesla its start, and financed the development of the Nissan Leaf and Ford’s EcoBoost engines, as well as the first utility-scale wind and solar projects in the U.S.), they can only advance a handful of projects, which still must obtain development capital from the private sector to move forward, which typically takes years and years and leaves many worthwhile projects behind.

In response to this need, PFA has established working relationships and collaborations with seed and venture capital funds and a mid-market equity and project financing firm to expedite the advancement of worthwhile projects in health care, sustainability, alternative fuels, renewable chemicals, biobased products, and climate crisis mitigation.

PFA looks forward to expanding is collaborations … and advancing worthwhile, game-changing projects … with members of the Family Office Club.
