We invite grassroots organizations whose missions align with ours to share their expertise and collaborate. Collaborations are not limited to environmental justice-identified organizations. We also welcome partnerships with national nonprofits and "big greens," foundations, and government. You can offer funding opportunities, mentors, event sponsorships, job opportunities, promotions, and more.
COMPANIES.
We invite partnerships with corporations that value environmental justice and align with our mission. You can offer donations, mentors, job opportunities, cause-related marketing, promotions, discounts, events, in-kind gifts, expertise, and more.
SCHOOLS.
We invite middle and high schools and post-secondary institutions to join our community and provide mentors and volunteers. Certain student groups may be eligible to host our annual summit.
