We take our mission very seriously here at Groundwork: to protect the environment, strengthen the economy, and build community. But I want to make sure you know how we put that mission into action-and ask you to support us during our annual fundraising campaign.
Four years ago, a cultural center in New York City known for bringing people together around the values of service and giving back created #GivingTuesday to connect individuals with organizations around the world to celebrate and encourage giving. This global day of gratitude inspired us to share why Groundwork supporters give to our cause.
For the second year, the Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities (formerly the Michigan Land Use Institute) is inviting the community to join in a local farm-to-table experience on the front lawn of the Grand Traverse Commons on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015.
Dan Worth will work with homeowners, businesses, colleges, schools, nonprofits, elected officials, installers, and the state’s utilities to find cost-effective solutions for putting new solar panels on rooftops, roadsides-anywhere the sun is shining.
My name is Alana Tartaro, and I’m going to be interning here at the Groundwork Center for the next eight weeks. While I’m here I’ll primarily be working on transportation issues and the “Oil and Water Don’t Mix” campaign.
The Michigan Land Use Institute is now the Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities. The nonprofit advocacy center celebrated its 20th anniversary on May 13 with a standing-room only event at the Franklin restaurant in downtown Traverse City-and kicked off its future with the new name.
