Fundraise for greener cities

By fundraising with Evergreen, you’re helping us build healthier and happier cities through better public places. Join us by creating a fundraiser of your choice and sharing your passion for greener and more inclusive public spaces with others.

 

Starting a fundraiser is a great way to connect your community with causes you are passionate about. Just as the best public places can act as catalysts for change, YOU can do that too!

 

Together we can show that when we invest in our public places, they have the potential to solve some of the most pressing issues of our time. When public spaces are designed with nature at their core, they improve people’s physical and mental well being, strengthen social cohesion within communities, increase cities resilience to natural disasters and boost biodiversity of urban ecosystems.

I’ve been a runner since 2014 and enjoy using long-distance road races as a way to support causes, organizations, and initiatives that align with my values.

 

Evergreen’s mission to create livable cities and public spaces for everyone stays at the forefront of my mind from the beginning of my training block up to race day and motivates me throughout the experience because I believe in the power of these sustainable spaces.
