From building partnerships to working with residents to developing programs on a shoestring, you are the people and organizations accomplishing amazing things. We will continue to highlight your challenges, your needs, and your work. Without people like you, mitigation cannot move forward. We will continue to support the capacity of place-based organizations. Outcomes to COCO are not solely based on acre counts.

Money sure helps to get work done, however, funding is not the only resource needed. Communities and organizations need the financial ability to be nimble, to respond when opportunities arise, and to be able to adapt to the changing landscape. In turn, we all need support and guidance when challenges arise.

The AIM program can support your efforts far beyond the funding through our Mitigation Mentors Program. If you have questions, need technical assistance, or just want to talk, we are here for you.
