We did it! We have reached our goal of inspiring (over) 150 Westporters to make a gift in support of Sustainable Westport!

We deeply appreciate each and every individual who participated in our first-ever Community Giving Challenge. Your support helped us raise money to expand our programming in 2024, demonstrated our community’s continued commitment to sustainability, and helped us unlock an additional $10,000 challenge grant from a generous Sustainable Westport donor. When we come together, even small actions have an incredible impact! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Sustainable Westport is a 501c3 non-profit organization, independent from the Town of Westport and run entirely by unpaid volunteers. To expand our programming and increase our reach, we rely on donations from members of our community who support our mission: to inspire and support our community in making both small changes and big commitments toward a healthier, more sustainable future. We are looking forward to advancing our sustainability programs, expanding our educational initiatives, improving our community outreach efforts, and sharing our impact with you in 2024!

WHY SHOULD I GIVE?

Sustainable Westport is a completely independent non-profit organization run entirely by unpaid volunteers. We rely on generous donations from members of our community to support our sustainability programs, educational initiatives, and community outreach efforts. 90% of our budget is funded by individual donors who care about the work we do. The remaining 10% comes from various sustainability-related or community grants. We do not receive funding from the Town of Westport or any other organization and are not paid town employees.

Your gift will help advance our sustainability programs, expand our educational initiatives, and improve our community outreach efforts to encourage Westporters to create and nurture a truly sustainable community.
