Research Project - Identify Community Sustainability Organizations across the United States
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Research project to identify local volunteer sustainability organizations across the United States. The information should be presented in an excel spreadsheet:
Name of Community, State, Name of the Organisation, URL, Mission Statement (from website)
For Example:
Seattle, WA, Sustainable Seattle, https://sustainableseattle.org , Sustainable Seattle works to build a thriving future through initiatives that deliver environmental, economic and community benefits, promote equity, and build resilience.
Marblehead, MA, Sustainable Marblehead, https://www.sustainablemarblehead.org , We are a community organization working to reduce waste and pollution and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Our vision is a vibrant and engaged community actively addressing the climate crisis to ensure our town and planet are habitable and safe for future generations.
Wellesley, MA, Sustainable Wellesley, https://www.sustainablewellesley.com, Sustainable Wellesley is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that engages residents, businesses and the Town of Wellesley to take sustainable actions to protect our climate; reduce pollution of air, land and water; preserve biodiversity; minimize waste; and ensure environmental justice.
Truro, MA, Sustainable Cape, https://sustainablecape.org/contact/, Sustainable CAPE’s mission is to celebrate local food while teaching about the health of our bodies, community, and environment. We demonstrate the direct link between local food, sustainable health and wellness, and the importance of preserving the fragile land and water resources that directly enable our local harvest. Our goal is to educate, empowering individuals to become agents of change – thereby creating a decidedly more delicious, healthy and sustainable world.
We are looking for community organizations (not corporations) that are most likely 501c3. The mission statement is usually found in the About Us section on the web site.
Suggested Resources: https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/allSearch?page=2&size=250&sort=name,asc
- Using this database you can identify organizations whose name begins with Sustainable followed by the City or Community.
Also – searching the web for the Term Sustainable followed by city names. First generate a list of the 1,000 or more largest cities in the US and then see if there is a matching search result to “Sustainable (city name)”
