Our mission is only attainable through the participation and support of many different people and partners, which is why our programs are predicated upon collaboration, volunteerism, and philanthropy. The more of us who come together, the greater our power.
But while there is power in numbers, we believe that deep engagement of our community is equally important - from our volunteers and youth participants to our donors. We would love to hear your goals and vision for philanthropy, and have the opportunity to respond to any questions or feedback you have for us. To start a conversation, please contact Kate Dolkas, Development Director, at kate@grassrootsecology.org.
