We green nonprofits!

We galvanize communities toward environmental care by showing the nonprofit organizations that serve and lead them the immediate value of resource conservation and environmental sustainability.

In 2009, 15 Bay Area nonprofits partnered with Connect the Dots to guide their 31 direct service and supportive housing facilities towards sustainability. Annually, these nonprofits will:

• Conserve 2.9 million gallons of water = enough water to fill 45,000 bathtubs
• Divert 356,000 pounds of waste = enough waste to fill more than 25 garbage trucks
• Reduce 94,035 kWh in electricity = enough energy to power the average American home for over a decade

These nonprofit organizations expect to save $187,540 within the first year and $788,141 in total over the next five years.


With these savings, Green Start clients will be able to spend more of their funding on mission-focused programs.
