as a non-profit corporation in 1976, works to find solutions that use local
resources to address problems that face all Americans, especially society's most
disadvantaged citizens. Through its 18 years of service, NCAT's work has grown
from addressing the immediate energy conservation needs of low-income people to
include a wide array of sustainable technologies and

NCAT: A Leader in Helping People Help Themselves
NCAT's mission, simply stated, is to help people help themselves.
Appropriate technology centers on small-scale projects and approaches
accomplished at the local level. It embraces technologies as diverse as a
community project to supply solar water heaters to low-income residents,
integrated pest management plans for farms and wildlife refuges, energy
monitoring in buildings, and the creation of databases to provide
information on energy-efficiency in public housing. NCAT has
provided local, state and national leadership for a broad range of programs and
projects and is known nationally for its work in appropriate technology.
