As a public institution, funding is critical to our success. We’re incredibly grateful to our Corporate Partners who are supporting this work and the next generation of leaders!
Why, and in what ways, do we partner with organizations?
As a public institution, UNH has been committed to the public good for over 150 years. Sustainability is fundamental to the public good and a core UNH value – and we aren’t new to sustainability because neither are the challenges we face. In fact, UNH was the very first university in the country with an endowed sustainability program, and today we’re leading the way on innovative ways of thinking for a world that works better and creates a future that ensures a prosperous economy, resilient infrastructure, and the healthy, thriving ecosystems on which we all depend.
Our student-facing programs serve as a mechanism to add capacity to your organization’s sustainability projects and goals and for the community to connect, share expertise and resources all while training the next generation of leaders. We actively partner with businesses, non-profits and municipalities to offer opportunities, information, events and resources. Whether you become a Corporate Partner or not, we’re here to be of service for the state and region, and a resource for professionals and organizations alike. Learn more about how you can engage with us as an alumni or community partner.
Thank you to our 2024-2025 Partners

Corporate Partners Program FAQs
- Attract, recruit, and retain top talent that is well-trained in the professional and green skills needed for a sustainable and resilient future. Our programs are transformative experiences where students are learning concrete skills and implementing them by working alongside our community partners as part of their education. You’ll have priority access to connect directly with, and mentor, driven, highly engaged and skilled students that can fill your green skills deficit and are seeking to work for companies that are values aligned.
- Deepen your sustainability involvement, and visibility, in our state and region. Our students work with small businesses, non-profits, and government entities/municipalities, who often lack the in-house resources to tackle sustainability challenges on their own. As a corporate partner, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your involvement in sustainability, serve as a role model, and raise your visibility to talent and partners in the state and beyond.
- Meaningful engagement opportunities for your employees by:
- Serving as a guest speaker
