01What it does

What Fresh Coast Communities dba Greenprint Communities does

Mission

To get the most good out of green infrastructure. Every community deserves the full benefits of green infrastructure, so Greenprint Communities helps local organizations build capacity and secure grant funding for programs that maximize the value of each city's investment in green infrastructure.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. Green Infrastructure Planning & Maintenance: Where green infrastructure plans are not already in place or additional early stage planning is needed and cannot be resourced through the private sector, Fresh Coast Communities leads green infrastructure feasibility studies and planning processes with an emphasis on community engagement throughout the process and on plans that achieve the highest levels of social, economic and environmental impact.

  2. Community Education & Engagement: Fresh Coast Communities provides marketing, workshops, tours and demonstration projects intended to educate and empower the community members to determine whether green infrastructure is right for them and to develop a vision for its impact.

  3. Co-benefit Programming & Partnerships: Fresh Coast Communities works with local partners to develop programs to supplement the green infrastructure which lead to the co-benefits for communities. These co-benefits include but aren't limited to improved health, stabilized property values, increased social interaction among community members, and a reduction in crime.

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
