Do well by doing good.
By working with Alight, investors will have access to the expertise and experience needed to quickly and accurately perform critical infrastructure project task flow:
-
Selecting investment scope and location
-
Scoping specific assets and network requirements for fulfillment
-
Building community support
-
Assessing public-private leverage opportunities
-
Packaging and providing pro forma financial analysis for each project element
-
Reaching connected partners for required skills and resources, from legal to engineering to project execution
Alight’s business model is precisely designed to eliminate the conflicts between investor return and community benefits.
We do the analytic work to find the localities and market niches where proven technologies can supplant or extend critical services and increase service efficiency, yielding market returns while improving the communities’ situations. These represent win-win chances to ‘do well by doing good’.
Alight’s core partners have spent decades in their fields of expertise, and it is our own observed experiences on the gap between market potential and realized investment that drives our entire model. We see the landscape, and the opportunities. We strive to bring only those projects with numbers that work to our investors—and to our partner communities.
At Alight, we are not tied to particular technologies or particular locations. We just want the best fits, the places where the puzzle pieces truly go together. We want to bring our investors portfolios of great projects; projects that can stand up to today’s combination of sophisticated financial screens and tumultuous times in our communities.
At Alight, we understand risk. Let us help you minimize it, with investment that is both safe and profitable.

LOCAL CONTROL UNLOCKS THE REAL VALUE OF INVESTMENT
Community infrastructure investment has been missing a critical element: Local control.
Community-controlled energy.
Community-controlled internet access.
Community-controlled health care.
Today, even the most socially responsible investing rarely considers local control of the assets and their operation. At Alight we place this at the center of our entire model. All too often communities are paying the price for distant, uncaring corporations taking more and more control of critical local networks and support systems. Neglected neighborhoods, lack of resiliency in emergencies, and many lost economic development opportunities tell the story of many American communities.
At Alight, we are not steering capital to projects in order to take yet more power away from people and communities. Instead, the process from beginning to completion is aligned around communities and their needs. The benefits that flow from gaining more control are as diverse and powerful as the costs of losing it.
There are many proven models for practical community control of assets. Ownership is one, operational control by qualified third parties is another, and broader cooperative alliances have also been successful. Alight is positioned to work with communities to find the right assets, in the right places, with the right business arrangements—all with the communities in the drivers’ seat. By design.
Let's invest in more prosperous communities together.
