Finding Support for Your Agency’s Greening Initiatives

Your greening program is in place and both your organizational culture and facility reflect an increased attentiveness to environmentally sound practices. But there’s much more you could do in the way of facilities changes and green programming — a green roof, light sensors throughout your building, environmental fairs, and community gardens. Now you’re looking for support to accomplish the many initiatives that you’ve identified. Building upon our last session on framing your story to fit your audience, this seminar will explore the following questions:

What are the trends in funding for environmental sustainability?
What is the connection between greening and traditional donor concerns such as health, poverty, and education?
What are funders looking for when they fund greening initiatives?
Where can you look for support for your agency greening projects?
What outcomes or measures of success are expected?

Learn on how to make your business more energy efficient, reduce your utility costs, help save the environment, and how you can take part in NYSERDA programs and initiatives.
