look at the Kresge Foundation’s new “Green Building” grants. Sharon CTLS Kresge Foundation Monday, October 04, 2004 - Contributed By Donald A. Griesmann With the launch of its Green Building Initiative, The Kresge Foundation
is encouraging nonprofit leaders to examine their planning and design processes
so that they can assess the environmental impact of their facilities - and the
Foundation is adding the incentive of planning and bonus grants that are
available on a limited basis. The Foundation is also making available a series of educational
materials designed for nonprofits to help them understand the green approach
and consider it next time they build. In order to support in-depth learning about green building, The Kresge
Foundation is sponsoring green building workshops designed for nonprofit
organization executives interested in the subject. Why is The Kresge Foundation taking this step? The Foundation supports
the construction and renovation of hundreds of facilities each year, and they
believe it is important to consider actively how these facilities use natural
resources. Applications are accepted year around. http://www.kresge.org/initiatives/index.htm |
