Green Organizations

EarthLinks is an innovative nonprofit in Denver that provides work programs for people who are homeless and low-income to learn new skills and create Earth-friendly products. Please support our program by visiting our online shop or volunteering.

We provide many opportunities to those in need, including gardening and eco-friendly production workshops, day trips into nature for the homeless, and writing and housing workshops.

Why Be Green?

The Austin Yellow Bike Project is a volunteer-powered initiative to put bicycles on the streets of Austin and Central Texas by operating community bike shops, teaching bike mechanics and maintenance, and acting as a local bike advocacy group.

At YBP, we don’t fix your bike for you—we show you how to fix it yourself. Our Webberville Shop has twelve fully equipped work-stands and a large selection of used parts, frames, and bikes in various stages of repair.

The Shield-Ayres Foundation is a central Texas foundation that is deeply committed to the preservation of the natural world and to the conservation of the lands and waters on which all life depends.

We strengthen organizations that effectively meet the basic human needs of the most vulnerable members of our community, provide access to educational opportunities and the arts, advocate for social justice, and promote land and water conservation.

Oregon Sustainable Agriculture Land Trust holds agricultural land in and near Portland for purposes of research and education on sustainable agriculture.

OSALT acts as an umbrella organization that provides land, management processes and non-profit status to local communities for sustainable food production through gardening, farming, research and education.

We now hold seven pieces of land in trust. Some are farms outside the city of Portland; some are community gardens in the city.

We are Before It’s Too Late (BITL), a nonprofit initiative founded by MIT graduate students to leverage arts, technology and science to ignite urgency and collaboration toward addressing climate change.

BITL is running a first-of-its-kind Climate Action Prototyping Lab to rapidly implement and test concepts that can create social change. Inspired by think tanks and innovation labs, our center is differentiated by action-oriented community programs. We strive to find the tools that deliver results and partner with organizations to scale them.
