Nonprofit organizations play an important role in advancing Green causes around a whole host of issues - habitat preservation, alternative energy, wildlife conservation, etc.
If you're looking to find some of the best eco-friendly nonprofits, the website GreatNonprofits.org is a good place to start.
GreatNonprofits.org recently held its 2009 Green Choice Awards and picked three winners that definitely deserve a lot of praise. And the winners are...
1. Hayes Valley Neighborhood Park Group, San Francisco
2. Slide Ranch, Muir Beach, California
3. Chewonki Foundation, Wiscasset, Maine
Commenting about the Green Choice Awards and the winners, GreatNonprofits.org's Founder and CEO Perla Ni said - “There are so many great nonprofits who don’t have an advertising budget and are not household names. Similar to what Yelp has done for small restaurants, we enable grassroots nonprofits to gain recognition. Now there’s an even playing-field through the genuine testimonials and reviews of people who have seen the work of a nonprofit first-hand. Donors and volunteers now have a source of information for which nonprofits are accountable and effective.”
So check out GreatNonprofits.org. Maybe you'll find a great eco-friendly nonprofit in your own backyard that needs your help or deserves your support
