Connect the Dots is a Bay Area nonprofit that helps other Bay Area nonprofits reduce their environmental impact as they deliver on their social missions.

As Maikhanh Nguyen, founding director of Connect the Dots, says:

“We recognize that we enjoy the luxury to not be overwhelmed with other operational responsibilities and emergencies to concentrate efforts in energy efficiency, water conservation, waste diversion, and responsible purchasing.  Also, we have access to utility bills across multiple facilities which enable us to identify these savings opportunities to spread from one organization to another.”

At the event, Connect the Dots will feature their 3-month Green Start program concentrating on easy conservation practices yielding deep impact to “jump start” organizations towards sustainability. Their services include connecting nonprofits to single-issue incentive programs that diminish their ecological footprint and generate near-term financial savings, with a focus on under-resourced and critical Bay Area communities. Why? Because they recognize that their constituents are typically most vulnerable to environmental degradation and catastrophes.
