EFC Network

The Environmental Finance Center Network (EFCN) is a unique asset for the nation: the only university-based organization creating innovative solutions to managing the costs of environmental protection and improvement. The EFCN consists of nine Environmental Finance Centers (EFCs) housed in nine universities across the nation. By sharing and integrating information, tools and techniques, the EFCs work together and with the public and private sectors to promote a sustainable environment, bolstering efforts to address difficult how-to-pay issues. Clients are primarily communities that lack the management capacity to address these issues without any assistance.

Employing staff from many disciplines, including engineering, business, finance, planning, economic development, science, public administration and law, the EFCN is uniquely qualified to address a full range of environmental issues by offering a wide range of professional skills and services to partners in government at all levels and in the private and nonprofit sectors.

Core support for the EFCN is provided by the Environmental Finance Program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EFCs also attract additional funds through grants and contracts with public and private clients.
