Green Family Foundation to provide free or low cost green living supplies
Q1: My biggest challenge would be donations from our community. We live in a very generous community and state but times are hard here, how can I show them the organization is worth it.
Idea Description
I would like to have a non-profit organization that would help families convert to a greener life. We would supply low income families with cloth diapers, reusable bags, energy efficient appliances, energy efficient light bulbs & more. We would also provide educational materials about green living.
Many people are willing to go green but don't know how or can't afford to make the initial investments and changes to do so. The organization would also have a website that offers green living advice and also do local presentations, conventions and educational classes to help all families and individuals become more green.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Create the non-profit, build the website, start an adverising campaign and start helping families. We would need donations as well so the advertising would bring in both physical and financial donations.
Vote for it now.
It's worth looking into soliciting donations from large, national non-profit organizations. A lot of these organizations now have funds which donate exclusively to sustainability based non-profit organizations. Go to idealist.org to find a list of these organizations. Good luck!
