Thank You for Keeping

Grades of Green's Future Bright!

As you know, Grades of Green canceled our annual fundraising gala, Verte, due to the coronavirus. Doing so left Grades of Green with a budgetary gap of one-third of our annual operating budget.

To fill that gap, we asked for your help, and you showed up! Thanks to you, our recent online fundraiser and auction was a major success. We raised more than $143,000 with the support of 104 individual donors through 146 donations or auction purchases. We can't express how much your support means to our students, staff, and the planet.

Here's an example of what your funding has made possible: on May 29, we awarded the eight winning teams of our 2020 Waste Campaign with $3,500 in Eco-Grants to expand the impact of their projects. None of this would have been possible without your support. Pat yourselves on the back and meet these outstanding students!

Extend Your Support by Picking Up

a Remaining Auction Item or Funding a Need!

Even though we sold more than 65 auction items in just five days, a few incredible options remained at the closing bell. You can secure these great products and services right now at a significant discount. Each item is available as an "instant buy," so you don't have to worry about being outbid. A selection of these can be found below, but there are plenty more on the auction site.
