Warm greetings to you,

Since our founding in 1999, Sustainable Fairfax has made a practice of looking back every Spring to reflect on what we have accomplished. We highlight and celebrate the year’s successes, and reflect on opportunities for growth and change.  

Sustainable Fairfax is a well-established and respected 501c3 non-profit ready to be re-launched. A non-profit requires robust leadership, enthusiastic volunteers, economic viability, and the capacity to deliver on its mission. Indeed, grassroots activism and partnerships with other nonprofits and local governments are the cornerstones of effective change-making. 

NOW  is the opportunity to rise up and reach out if YOU are ready to play a role in building a new team and re-igniting the community-based climate action movement in Fairfax. There has never been a more urgent time. 

Sustainable Fairfax has made significant and far-reaching impacts on our community and beyond. We helped flip the switch to Marin Clean Energy (MCE) setting Marin on a course to 100% renewable power. We have stood in the rain teaching about Rainwater Harvesting and created an ongoing legacy of launching the FIRST single-use plastic bag ban. Fairfax’s Street for People was born of the non-profit’s deep commitment to an inclusive, resilient, and thriving community. Through workshops, films, hikes, and lectures, the organization educated and advocated on issues of Zero Waste, Permaculture, Fossil Fuel-Free transportation, and Community Seed Saving. 

Keep Sustainable Fairfax thriving! 

If you are interested in re-launching a non-profit with a legacy of creative positive activism, please e-mail Renée Goddard or Elizabeth Baker.

Thank you for being part of the Sustainable Fairfax community!

Sincerely,

The Sustainable Fairfax Board of Directors
