/24-7PressRelease/ -- Many mission-driven nonprofits have environmentally sensitive internal policies. However, sometimes it is difficult for nonprofits to consider building "green" because initial costs may be high.
"There is often a chasm between what nonprofits want to do and what they can do," says Bunnie Riedel, host of Nonprofit Conversation. "But ultimately if there is a commitment to being environmentally responsible, I believe nonprofits can find a way. Jeff Carroll of Gardiner and Gardiner, makes a strong case for nonprofits to build green for Nonprofit Conversation."
"The very nature of an NPO is to achieve efficiencies beyond the reach of government. The NPO's maintain social responsibility beyond the scope of private industry. Perhaps most important, the nonprofit sector is the active conscience of society," write Carroll.
Jeff Carroll goes on to point out that building green can contribute to a nonprofit's credibility.
"People tend to view most nonprofits as mission driven organizations," says Riedel. "Nonprofits are typically seen as institutions that work to improve the society. To be able to report to its members that the nonprofit has taken solid steps toward environmental responsibility can only boost the nonprofit's bottom line."
"Maybe one for the nicest side benefits in the current atmosphere is a green capital project creates opportunity for additional funding," says Carroll. "A green building intrinsically advances the mission of the organization."
