ACC "was formed in 2021 to foster collaboration across our community in local solutions that reduce our climate footprint and build a resilient Ashland." They are "an Oregon registered nonprofit and are in the process of applying for federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit status."

From their website: "In 2022, the Ashland Climate Collaborative is developing Networks for local organizations, businesses, and neighborhoods to come together to accelerate climate action and integrate it into standard practice.
