NEEFC works with communities to advance water, climate, and sustainability projects.

We provide tailored assistance to identify and secure funding and build lasting solutions.

Our Priorities

Water

We help municipalities assess infrastructure needs, plan for long-term capital investment, and navigate the financing tools – from state revolving funds to federal grants – that make upgrades possible.

Climate

We help states, tribes, and local governments understand their climate risk, identify and prioritize resilience projects, and secure the funding and financing needed to turn plans into action.

Sustainability

From small business technical assistance to waste management, we provide fundraising strategy coaching, custom funding scans, grant proposal review, and hands-on support.

What We Do

Community Engagement

Education & Training

Technical Assistance

We partner with local governments, tribal nations, utilities, community-based organizations, and the private sector to harness capital through a web of grant initiatives. Our experts then help administer projects for climate resilience and sustainability, water and energy infrastructure, waste management, and more.

Serving New England communities, municipalities, tribal nations, utilities, NGOs, and companies in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
