Partner contributions

Cool Davis suggests the following contributions for partners: $50 per year for non-profits and $100 per year for businesses. Partners who are small businesses, non-profits, or student groups may make their contributions in the form of volunteer hours or in-kind donations of goods or services.  These contributions help defray meeting costs, publicity and communications work, design work, and administration.

Certifications. Businesses or community institutions are encouraged to go further and pursue certifications with Partners for a Greener Davis, a City of Davis program as well as a regional certification offered by BERC (Business Environmental Resource Center).
