The Giving Coast

Southface Institute is pleased to partner with the Lee Wetherington Boys & Girls Club site in Sarasota, Florida, as part of Southface’s GoodUse grant program, which guides nonprofits through resource efficiency upgrades to reduce environmental impact and save money that can be reinvested into core programming. Southface engineers completed a comprehensive building energy and water assessment and suggested upgrades to their lighting fixtures, installing LED lighting and controls, low flow plumbing and water use sensors. The upgrades will cost a total of about $60,000, half of which was covered through the GoodUse program grant. The organization will soon begin making the upgrades and using the work as an opportunity to engage the teen Club members, aged 13-18, with opportunities for environmental and sustainability education.
