Green Organizations

Urban GreenWorks (UGW) is a Miami-based not-for-profit organization and a fund of the Miami Foundation. We exist to restore the economic, physical, and social health of underserved communities.

Our focus is community food security and environmental restoration. UGW creates programs for communities plagued by poor access to fresh food, blighted and neglected open space, low urban tree cover, and an under-employed population of young adults.

Conservation Colorado is at the front lines of every fight working to protect the air, land, water, and people of Colorado by advocating for necessary policies, mobilizing Coloradans, and electing conservation-minded policymakers.

Despite powerful interests who are constantly pushing to put pollution and profit over public health, we have a long and accomplished history of working collectively at the State Capitol, establishing strategic partnerships, and collaborating with allies for success on key environmental concerns, including:

Women in Sustainable Energy (WISE) offers education, networking, professional development and leadership training for women (and men, too) at all stages of their clean energy careers and lives.

Cleantech San Diego is a member-based trade organization that positions the greater San Diego region as a global leader in the cleantech economy and smart cities movement.

As a nonprofit organization, we are uniquely suited to support the cleantech industry by fostering collaborations across the private-public-academic landscape, leading advocacy efforts to promote cleantech priorities, and encouraging investment in the San Diego region.

The Texas Campaign for the Environment is a non-profit organization that empowers Texans to fight pollution through sustained grassroots campaigns that successfully shift corporate and governmental policy.

Our small but mighty group of activists, currently based in Austin, Houston and D/FW, pounds the pavement, rain or shine, year-round, to knock on doors and make contact with folks about public health and environmental issues.

Together, we have accomplished many important environmental victories over the years, such as:

Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center inspires people to develop a lifelong practice of enjoying and protecting nature through educational programs, collaborative alliances, and conservation of our beautiful 76-acre preserve.

A LIVING LABORATORY

Move through hundreds of thousands of years of geologic formations as you hike to the bottom of our canyon. At the head of the canyon is a grotto where you can see how the water cycle works.

The Institute for Applied Ecology

The mission of The Institute for Applied Ecology is to conserve native species and habitats through restoration, research and education.

We provide a service to public and private agencies and individuals by developing and communicating information on ecosystems, species, and effective management strategies.

Restoration of habitats is a primary focus, and we conduct this work through partnerships with a diverse group of agencies, organizations and the private sector.

We link our community with habitats through education and outreach.

Our Mission: Empowering MA residents, government, and business leaders to keep our communities clean and beautiful.

We believe that litter, illegal dumpsites, graffiti, and vacant lots not only hurt property values and discourage economic development, but they also reduce a community’s collective self-esteem. Litter begets litter and blight begets blight.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Residents can take ownership of the appearance of their communities. That’s where Keep Massachusetts Beautiful can help.
