February 1, 2008 | Read Time: 1 minute
A foundation in Southern Florida wants to know — how “green” is your nonprofit organization?
The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin counties has invited local nonprofit groups to participate in a contest to reward charities that are operating in environmentally friendly ways, reports The Palm Beach Daily News.
Among the categories in the contest: Which charities achieve “the most green with the least green” and “most creative use of recycled materials.” Winners will get free training in nonprofit management and grant seeking.
The foundation, which created an Environmental Endowment Fund in 2001, intends to collect ideas gathered through the contest to help other groups incorporate green practices into their organizations.
