The Collider

The Collider, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to fostering the expansion of the climate services industry. Through educational, charitable, scientific, and literary means, it aims to encourage the growth of public, private, academic, and non-profit providers of climate services. The Collider operates exclusively for educational, charitable, literary, and scientific purposes, working towards encouraging the advancement of climate services nationwide.

In the pursuit of its mission, The Collider has supported its members as they adapt to meet the evolving needs of the climate services sector. As work habits have shifted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer members have expressed a desire for physical workspaces and in-person meetings. Instead, many have found that their networking needs are more on a national level, driven by national, rather than local customers. In response to these identified needs, The Collider has worked with its members to cater to their requirements, ensuring they receive support consistent with the organization's mission and resources.

During the first half of 2022, The Collider continued to evolve to adapt to the changing needs of its members. However, as the needs of its members contracted, the organization's board reevaluated its financial ability to continue operations. Consequently, The Collider transitioned into a wind-down mode with the ultimate objective being dissolution. In the wind-down process, The Collider negotiated a settlement of its unpaid rent liability by conveying its furniture, fixtures, and tech systems to the landlord. The organization received contributions to cover the wind-down costs. Following the closing of the asset transfer to the landlord, the board resigned, and The Collider was dissolved in late December of 2022.
