Committee and Foundation both support work to protect open space
Some of our members
have been asking about the Committee's sister organization, the Green Foothills Foundation. Contributions to the Foundation support certain aspects of the Committee's work — but there are important differences between the two
organizations.
Because much of our work involves advocacy and lobbying, it is conducted by the Committee for Green Foothills, classified as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. Donations to the Committee support our political
activity, and are not tax-deductible. While it is more challenging to raise non-tax deductible funds, we maintain this classification because it allows the Committee to be as edgy and aggressive as necessary to protect open space.
Our sister organization, the Green Foothills Foundation supports our educational and research activities. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, this group can spend only a small portion of its expense budget on lobbying,
and thus contributions to the foundation are tax-deductible.
Our work to protect the environment through political advocacy and action is more urgent than ever before, and we invite you to contribute to the Committee for
Green Foothills whenever possible. Your support — of both of these nonprofits — makes it possible for us to accomplish our mission.
