Partnerships
NCS is a member of a number of local and national groups focused on sustainability. Beyond our partnerships, we also donate time and resources to like minded organizations.
Change Finance will meet the growing investor demand for publicly available, impact investment products that investors can buy directly from a stock exchange. We will make it easy and affordable for all people to invest with their values, by creating a family of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Whether you are a financial adviser looking to meet the needs of clients, or a foundation looking to fulfill your commitment to divesting from fossil fuels, Change Finance will build the investment products you need and have been asking for.
The Alliance for Sustainable Colorado is a hub for sustainability, bringing together community and leadership to drive a new paradigm — one based on quality of life now and for the future.   We turn the short-term, short-sighted, business-as-usual approach to sustainable thinking in promoting a Colorado that values environmental, economic and social well being equally. The Alliance provides the connective links among organizations working on policies and practices of sustainability — making the collective efforts of nonprofit, business, government and education more effective in overcoming roadblocks to progress.
