IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Sustainable Neighborhoods: Throughout 2014, Sustain Charlotte provided sustainability education to residents in five motivated neighborhoods in Charlotte and empowered them to set measurable sustainability goals for their communities, based on their interests and needs. We suggested strategies and resources to help them achieve these goals, compiled this information into Sustainable Vision Plans for each neighborhood, and provided a small grant for them to begin projects.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Charlotte-Mecklenburg Sustainability Report Card: In August, we officially launched the first ever independently researched and written report that assesses the current health of the community using 57 metrics spanning nine issues. Using a robust methodology and years of data from a variety of sources, we generated a report card for each issue and provided 94 recommendations for how Charlotte-Mecklenburg can accelerate progress.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1Connect Our Future: In the first quarter of the year, we served as a key partner of the Connect Our Future project, which was a process to engage citizens across our 14-county region to develop a regional growth framework. Our role was to help devise and implement strategies for effectively engaging citizens of all backgrounds across our region, especially under-represented community members and youth.
