Green Action

The Chicago Community Trust is a charitable organization dedicated to improving our region through strategic grant-making, civic engagement and inspiring philanthropy.

The Trust awards grants for general operating support and responsive grants to address specific community needs or opportunities.

Among other initiatives, we support efforts to create an environment of clean air, water and land, an accessible and high-quality built environment of affordable housing, multi-modal transportation systems and full-service communities.

Intended to encourage direct citizen action, "Sustainable Neighborhoods Denver" provides support and recognition to Denver neighborhoods where residents organize workshops, projects, and other events that improve livability while reducing ecological footprints.

Participating neighborhoods earn program credits for their efforts and may receive sustainable neighborhood designations, such as “Participating Sustainable Neighborhood” and “Outstanding Sustainable Neighborhood.”

The San Diego River Park Foundation is dedicated to improving the health of the San Diego River and creating a better quality of life for our community through the creation of a 52 mile river-long park system. Our programs, projects, and events are designed to connect people to our historic San Diego River and empower the community to steward and celebrate it.

* AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE AUSTIN SCENE SINCE 1968 *

The Austin Regional Group of the Sierra Club is a volunteer organization of over 5,000 members that works to ensure that the Austin area remains a healthy, vibrant place to live. We offer a wide variety of activities and volunteer opportunities to support our environmental goals.

CONSERVATION: Our volunteers work to fight against global warming, air pollution, aquifer depletion, and urban sprawl. We promote clean energy, water conservation, and responsible transportation options.

A local affiliate of Texas Interfaith Power and Light, Interfaith Environmental Network is the go-to resource for Austinites who aspire to make environmental stewardship a cornerstone of their religious commitment.

Let’s come together and start Green Teams at our places of worship to collaborate on ways to respond to climate change and other environmental challenges, spread environmental knowledge, and advocate for environmental stewardship as people of faith.

In January 2010, Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties united to form the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact as a way to coordinate mitigation and adaptation activities across county lines.

Since then, the four Compact counties have advanced local and regional responses to—and preparations for—the effects of climate change. They have expanded to work with a growing number of federal, state, regional, municipal, nonprofit, academic, and private sector partners.
