2026 Winter Campaign
Help sustain REAP. Build what comes next.
Practical skills. Climate Careers.
A community worth investing in.
After six years of building REAP, we need support now to sustain the work and develop what comes next. We are putting all our cards on the table to share in the excitement. Funding some critical gaps through year-end, sharing our strategy and business plans for 2027 through 2031, and outlining our capital campaign to purchase our campus and build community infrastructure.
