Important Announcement:

U.S. EPA has terminated the grant funding Mountains and Plains Thriving Communities Collaborative on February 21, 2025. Despite our best efforts to secure alternate funding and the possibility of future reversals of this action, the pace and scale of this termination has outmatched our capacity to respond. Therefore, at this time, we are forced to end the formal work of MaPTCC.

We want to reassure you that, along with our partners at the Colorado State University, Utah State University, the University of Wyoming, the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy, and the Center for Social Creativity, our commitment to rural, tribal, and underserved communities remains strong.
