For selected eco-finance institutions eco-finance.org provides "institutional profiles". These profiles contain more detailed, and often exclusive and original information on selected domestic eco-finance mechanisms and institutions. Currently, profiles of 15 eco-finance mechanisms in South East Europe are provided (see below).

Typically, the following aspects are covered in an institutional profile:
