What about sustainable and “green” building solutions, and what first steps can be taken by smaller organizations and those with resource constraints?

Hr., 28 Min.
Not-for-profits make important contributions not only through the realization of their mission and purpose, but through their economic investment in space and their employment commitments. What effects does a not-for-profit have as a neighbor and member of the communities in which it is present? How should not-for-profits take these factors into account in making decisions about location and facilities? And how may the neighboring community impact the not-for-profit?
