Providing Assistance
Via a Non-Profit
Kim Trella, CT DEP
NEWMOA, 9/28/05
What you may learn
Why a Non-Profit?
CT Green Building Council example
Benefits to CT DEP and Partners
Hints on providing assistance using a
non-profit
Why a Non-Profit?
If the goal is education, the 501(c)3
status makes the role clear
Lobbying is not allowed
Activities support a named goal
Provides a neutral place for business,
utilities, and government to meet
Why a Non-Profit?
Can serve mutual benefit for different
groups
Focuses the attention on the goal of
education
Requires participants to not be “selling
services”
Why a Non-Profit?
Let’s the public know that profit-taking is
not the goal
Keeps the focus on actions that achieve
the desired result
CT Green Building Council
EXAMPLE
Formed in 2002 as a 501(c)3
CT DEP was a partner at the first
discussions on if a CT group should be
formed to promote green building
CT Green Building Council
Collaboration of State Agencies,
Utilities, Businesses Brings the Wealth
of Diversity to the Table
What One group is just learning about –
probably one of the others already
knows
Benefits of Partnering
Expertise of Professionals working in their
respective fields
Ask them what is working – what isn’t
Use their talents – increase your own
Changes Agency role from “teacher” to
“support staff”
CTGBC Progress
In 2001, when CTGBC was initiated –
there were no LEED buildings in CT

Benefits to CT DEP
CT DEP is building a new beach pavilion
Unable to contract for “green” due to higher
cost – is working with a contractor who is
not familiar with green products
An alternate roofing spec was allowed for
the back-up bid
Benefits to CT DEP
Lead-coated copper suggested by nongreen contractor
One e-mail to the CTGBC had two
alternatives (without lead) with sources
and price in half an hour
Benefits to Partners
CT DEP is seen as a neutral third party
by many – so an endorsement of “green
buildings” means more than an
endorsement from someone who is
trying to sell you services
Assistance Via A Non-Profit
Listen to Others about their needs
Seek partners with similar goals
Join forces
Get out of the Regulatory mode
Look for ways to assist the private
sector - let them lead the way
Assistance Via A Non-Profit
Non-profits offer flexibility not usually
available in government
Focus on a mutual goal reduces the
“politics”
With existing funding constraints, is
another way to continue providing
assistance
Assistance Via a Non-Profit
Providing assistance and support to the
efforts of the private sector moves their
“ownership” of environmental
stewardship to a higher level
The more they “own” – the better
stewards they will be
