We are standing by and collecting donations that will be allocated to those whose homes have been significantly impacted by the fire and decide to sustainably rebuild in Larimer County. The allocation of funds will depend on the rebuilding effort. Requirements include at least one of the following strategies: utilize active solar (PV or hot water), passive solar design, or wind power. NoCo Rebuilding Network may also be called upon to organize volunteer efforts. To add your name to our volunteer database see our website nocorebuilding.org NoCo Rebuilding Network was formed in the spring of 2011 to raise funds, resources, and volunteers to assist in sustainable rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of local disasters. By bringing together our collective resources and knowledge, this network can help people and communities achieve a level of sustainable design and construction that may not otherwise be possible. We can come together as a community and for our community, in response to a disaster. We can help people create spaces and places more in tune with nature that give back yields to the owners and to our community. Donate at CommunityFunded.com...
