NEPO+ Community, Art & Technology 's  current project with EcoMedia Compass™, a 501C3 Non-profit is working towards bringing awareness to the environmental devastation within the Salton Sea community. The creative collective is in progress of fundraising for EcoMedia Compass' annual Earth Day event on April 23, 2022.

NEPO+ aims to be a safe, supportive, and empowering organization that works with local artists and small businesses to cultivate a more mutually beneficial community. "Through the development of pop-up events and educational workshops the goal of the participating artist is to use art and technology as a catalyst to engage with the community and bring awareness towards an opportunity to empower change".
