  Look for companies that are already established that want to build their reputation in the community. Perhaps look for companies that would sponsor you in return for Healthy Raw food, services for their staff, etc.

  Sounds nice; maybe something like this can also happen on the East Coast.

  Hey... I just though I could help give you some tools for researching this a little further. There is a large community of venture capitalists called 'double bottom line" investors. They fund projects that have expressed social and environmental impacts in their purpose / mission. If you google "double bottom line" you should eb able to find a host of such VC's. That should be a good place to start.
  
  Another way to find these is by searching "social entrepreneur" and other related keywords.
  
  just to give you some examples: Social Venture network, Investor's Circle, and The Surdna Foundation, SJF VenturesCommons Capital LP.
  
  One particularly useful resource would be RISE's (a Columbia University program) report on "The Double Bottom Line Private Equity landscape" which can be found at http://www.riseproject.org/uzrise_capmkt_rpt_03.pdf
