What do you see when you look 25 years into the future? Are ecosystems recovering? Can people feed their families? Are Indigenous communities thriving? Did we prepare our young people to lead us through #climatechange? These questions guide the decisions we make at TWP, and ensure that we’re investing our resources toward the best long-term outcomes. Learn more in our Fall Newsletter ?? (link in comments)
关于我们
Trees, Water & People (TWP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Stuart Conway and Richard Fox in 1998, in Fort Collins, Colorado with the mission to improve people’s lives by helping communities to protect, conserve, and manage the natural resources upon which their long-term well-being depends. ? Nationally, we are actively involved with helping to improve the lives of Native American families living on the reservations of the Great Plains. In these areas, where the winters are extremely long and harsh, Native Americans commonly spend more than half of their income on exorbitant utility bills. Together with our reservation-based partner, Lakota Solar Enterprises, we have built 800 economic solar heating systems and trained more than 180 tribal members in residential and facility-scale renewable energy applications. ? Internationally, we work extensively in Central America and Haiti. Together, with our country-based partners, we support 20 community tree nurseries that produce 350,000 trees annually to aid in reforestation efforts, planting nearly 5 million trees to date. In addition, we have built more than 58,000 clean cookstoves. Each cookstove decreases a family’s need for firewood by 50-70%, as compared to standard open fire cooking, and reduces carbon emissions by at least 1.5 tons per year. In addition to cookstoves and tree planting, we have introduced thousands of solar lights to rural communities who live each day without access to any electricity.

We at TWP stand undeterred - frustrated, but defiant. Like an acorn planted by a river, and rooting into a mighty oak, we will stand our ground, and will not be moved. Let’s not let fearful and scarcity-minded people smother our purpose. We can choose abundance, diversity, and sustainability… and continue investing in the society we know can exist. So, when you’re ready, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and join us. We’re stronger together, and we have work to do. Read our full statement:

We are in this for the long-haul. Will you join us? ????
Employee retention is more than just a cost savings at #nonprofit organizations. The longer staff stay with an org, the more intimately they understand the aspirations, priorities, and pressures in the communities you serve. So if that’s the case, as Jordana Barrack says in our film, “why are we not doing a better job of taking care of the people?” Watch “In The Right Hands”, our film about #trustbasedphilanthropy on TWP’s website (link in comments) for more…
