Starting in 2011 with a single program and a geographical footprint of 11 counties, we now operate three programs throughout the six state Mid-Atlantic region with global partners in the areas of energy efficieadobestockncy and clean manufacturing, novel coronavirus healthcare response, and people-to-people cultural exchange. 

Our team comprises full-time staff, a seasonal talent team, part-time volunteers and an amazing network of partners at the local, national and global levels.  What we do is create open platforms and invite the best people and organizations to climb on and collaborate toward high-impact goals. As a 501c3 nonprofit, our open platform for promoting regional sustainability and regeneration is supported by philanthropy.  See program websites for specific information about our program teams.

In 2014, we were competitively selected by the U.S. Departments of State and Energy for one of 36 U.S. EcoPartnership Awards for our environmental cooperation program with Tianjin, China to. lower greenhouse gas emissions in Chinese industrial parks.
