Grants to Green

All too often, the buildings occupied by nonprofits are aging structures with inefficient equipment. Grants to Green is helping to transform the nonprofit sector by encouraging nonprofits to renovate, expand or construct buildings that are energy- and water-efficient.

This innovative partnership between the Community Foundation, the Kendeda Fund and Southface gives metro Atlanta nonprofits the opportunity to renovate or build greener work places that are energy- and water-efficient—all with the ultimate goal of improving a nonprofit organization’s building structure and saving money that allows more resources to go to services.
