Welcome to our directory of facilitators in the NACRP network! Facilitators are guided and informed by the Community-Driven Climate Resilience Planning Framework.
When you’re ready to start the matching process with a facilitator in your region, simply complete our inquiry form. Our team will review your submission and be in touch if there is alignment.
Please note that we have a sliding scale for an applied fee when there is a successful match for facilitation. This fee is only applied when NACRP is involved in the coordination of a contracted fee for service. This fee is applied to the contracting entity, not the facilitator, in order to offset our costs for playing a coordination role in the process. Questions? Email us at nacrp@climateinnovation.net. Thank you!
