On-Campus Partners
REAP’s on-campus partners are key to achieving our mission. Our hope is that by partnering with the REAP Climate Center, organizations can scale and deploy their offering faster and with a broader impact.
On Campus Partners generally follow one of two paths:
Providers that are deploying nature as infrastructure, such as oyster reefs instead of sea walls, urban forestry to serve overheated communities, bees as a service, and so much more.
Organizations supporting the capacity of those providers, such as workforce development experts, carbon and/or biodiversity accounting services, science communication, youth programs, and more.
This holistic approach to climate, biodiversity, and systems change is rooted in green jobs, equity, and community engagement.
Organizations that share our campus share our resources, participate in outreach, and can benefit from subsidized staffing, share revenue from corporate team-building, and enjoy all the perks of REAP membership.
Note: There is a clear distinction between our Remote and On-Campus Partners. If you are seeking information about Remote Partners, learn more here.
To realize our vision, we’re building powerful partnerships with a growing list of like-minded organizations, businesses, municipalities, and artists, near and far.

Who
Our campus can accommodate spaces for strategic, mission-aligned organizations. We can host nonprofits, community organizations, climate startups, and sometimes scientists and Ph.D. candidates.
The Space
Spaces can range from garden sheds, shipping containers, cute stand-alone offices or airstreams, to open-air plots, growing areas, greenhouse space, and more.
The Relationship
Pricing to license physical space ranges from low to free. When applicable, On Campus Partners can participate in corporate training and volunteering, and share that revenue. This model is evolving. Getting a tour is usually the first step, before we share additional program details and documents.
The Goal
Our goal is to provide shared resources to help organizations achieve their ecological goals while helping the REAP Climate Center with the multidisciplinary aspects needed to achieve our climate mission. We believe symbiotic collaboration is key to mitigating climate change. Let’s build something together.
