Presenters: Sarah Heaton, Grants Manager & Program Associate, Johnson Family Foundation

Are you looking to implement paperless grantmaking in order to streamline your processes, saving time and money? Looking for ways your organization can reduce its carbon footprint? The G4 (GMN Grantmaking Gone Green) Team has taken on these green challenges and more, piloting a variety of practices in a diverse range of organizations. In this session geared toward community foundations and public charities, we will demonstrate the flexibility and feasibility of greening for the environment and your bottom line, as well as have an honest conversation about obstacles and barriers. Whether you’ve tried to implement more sustainable and efficient practices in your department or have just started pursuing the idea, this session will be an opportunity to learn successful methods of implementation and how to navigate and overcome barriers. Come for a conversation with those who have initiated greening strategies. We will help you capture the low-hanging fruit or equip you with the information needed to help your organization become a leader in greening!
