A community group worked hard to get her placed on the historic register and raise money to restore her to her mid-century glory. Last winter, after Harry and I had a conversation about global warming (and quite a conversation it was for a then eight-year old), and we collaborated on a series of green videos.

This simply means that disabled people often have little money and can't afford the assistive technology that would greatly enhance their lives. People may use an alternative keyboard or keyboard emulator, a Braille input device, a mouse emulator, optical character recognition, or voice recognition software like Dragon software.

I was busy starting my green communications consulting company, Aequus Green Communications , and working with clients to pay the bills and increase the portfolio.

How much money? The next session I went to was Building the Local Green Economy presented by Kevin Danaher, co-founder of Global Exchange. We need to create a honeybee economy that makes honey (money) by helping the flower, not hurting it. We need to create positive creative alternatives. Who does the staff know?

In addition to rising temperatures, green leaves, and seasonal allergies, March usually heralds the beginning of the spring fundraising season. They don’t raise an exceptional amount of money. Alternatively, you may decide to scrap your event entirely and come up with something totally new. They’re often pretty lackluster.

Golf Tournament Bring together avid golfers and local philanthropists—in many cases, they’re one and the same—for a day on the greens. A charity golf tournament won’t just raise money and build excitement for your cause, it can also be a pillar of your major donor recruitment plan.

By raising money on the internet, you can keep all of your donors safe and expand your reach beyond your current donor base. Organizing a giving day is an easy way to raise some money for your organization. You can also get in contact with any chefs at beloved local restaurants to see if they’d be willing to teach as well.

We picked this up and we dedicated a staff person to coordinate a local effort to get Bay Area cities and counties on board to support the national effort, and to contribute their soft fleet orders to the national demand for plug-in hybrids.

Although plastic is the most damaging form of waste, as it doesn’t biodegrade, unfortunately ‘compostable’ alternatives like cornstarch-based plastic packaging or paper aren’t much better. Even reusable products like washing up cloths should be swapped for biodegradable, non-plastic alternatives. Try a green energy supplier.

While virtual fundraising events were simply a quick alternative, they actually proved to be a convenient and effective way to engage with donors. And, instead of limiting your events just to those in the local area or to those who have the means to travel, you can actually open them to anyone on the internet!

Well, it just so happens that there's a direct correlation between the quality of a cup of coffee, or the quality of a banana, or some other piece of fruit, and the amount of money that the farmer actually gets paid for that harvest. That means to go to high school you need bus money, you need uniform money, you need book money.

Drivers talked about their dream to somehow run their own app as an alternative to Uber. After one year of planning, New York’s Drivers Cooperative was born in May of 2021 , with a goal to launch an on-demand app owned by workers themselves which customers can use as an alternative to Uber and Lyft for hailing rides.

We also work with some socially responsible businesses like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters; we are working with Annie's Organic right now, and so a broad mix of people who are trying to make the world a better place. I think a lot of people think there is no money whatsoever in a non-profit field or that non-profit means non-funded.
