Your Generosity Powers Our Projects
Here at Sustainable Ballard we are a very small, very intentional non-profit focused on education, inspiring participation, and engaging our neighbors to take actions towards living more sustainably both individually and collectively. Some of you support our efforts by becoming supporting members. Others volunteer their time and talents. Many participate in annual fundraising events like the Spring Beer Hop and Edible Garden Tour. Individuals donate stamps, soil, yarn, and tools. Community Partners support us through event sponsorships and donations. All of these various contributions add up to sustain the year round community projects we run.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to impact your local community consider becoming a supporting member. Already a supporting member? Consider gifting a membership to a loved one this holiday season. Tool Library membership and Edible Garden Tour tickets are included with annual membership which makes this the perfect gift for the gardener or fixer/maker/builder on your list! Become a Supporting Member or Give a Membership Gift
Work for one of these companies? Alaska Airlines, Boeing, Google, Microsoft, Nordstrom, or another company that does corporate giving programs? Consider either donating to or volunteering with us to double your gift. We are listed on Benevity Corporate Matching. It’s pretty easy to sign up through your employer and it makes a big impact on supporting our projects. To find if your company uses Benevity, check your company’s HR portal, intranet, or internal emails for “matching,” “giving,” or “volunteering” programs or ask your HR/CSR team directly. Want to just donate directly? DONATE HERE!
By far one of the MOST valuable things you can contribute is your time & talent. If you’re looking for a way to really engage and benefit your immediate community please consider volunteering with us. We have very flexible opportunities for almost every schedule/ability. VOLUNTEER HERE!
We understand that times are hard for many and not everyone is in a position to give. Sharing what we do with your neighbors, family and friends is always appreciated. Thank you all for being part of our beautiful, resilient and caring community! We wish you a peaceful and joyful holiday season and here’s to a new year with more kindness for each other and our planet.
