Our Partners
Strong, trustworthy partners from corporations, government agencies, and foundations help increase our collective impact
Government Agencies
Our close partnerships with federal agencies offer NEEF access to a wealth of credible knowledge, technical assistance, and financial resources. We collaborate on programs, including Greening STEM and National Public Lands Day, that contribute to each agency meeting its environmental education and diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.
Corporations
Our private-sector partners bring experience and resources to every project. From fixed engagement opportunities for our signature events (National Public Lands Day) to customized projects for events, internal programs, engagement campaigns, educational and research projects, in-kind contributions, and regranting, our collaborations capitalize on our brand and value alignment to create solid and long-term relationships and benefit stakeholders and the community.
