In 2022, we plan to make a big splash with our innovative and meaningful projects.
We are jumping into important topics like drinking water safety, utility rates and
finance, food waste, household hazardous waste, infrastructure investments, sustainable
materials management, community sustainability and much more. This year we will increase
focus on environmental justice and equity by reaching out to support traditionally
underserved communities in their economic and environmental goals.
Our staff has plunged into developing an EFC Strategic Plan that will take the Center
to new heights. We hope that you come alongside us, like pairs divers, and together
we can take giant strides to enhance environmental and financial health in communities
across the Midwest and nationwide.
The costs of environmental services, programs and infrastructure continue to rise.
At the same time, the individuals, communities and governments tasked with paying
for environmental protection are experiencing significant financial burdens. The WSU Environmental Finance Center (EFC), housed within the Hugo Wall School of Public Affairs, is one of 10 Environmental
Finance Centers located across the country that provide communities with professional
training, technical assistance and applied research to bolster efforts to manage the
costs of environmental protection for the public.
What We Do
Our projects leverage federal and state funds to provide three primary services: professional training, applied research and technical assistance. Learn more about our work in our 2020 Annual Report.
