Greetings!

Greenschools Gains Non-Profit Status!
 
We're pleased to announce that greenschools has been officially recognized by the IRS as a Public Charity. In technical terms, this means we're now a 501(c) (3) organization.  In laymen's terms it means we can now apply for grants to further our mission of creating healthier learning environments through education and awareness. In addition, all donations or payments for membership are now tax deductible on your federal tax return.
 
We're excited about this milestone and hope that it will lead to bigger and better things for our organization and for your schools!
 
Please support greenschools with your donation. You can donate online or simply mail a check, payable to greenschools, to P.O. Box 323, Mansfield, MA 02048.
