Funding Exchange/Nation Community funds Libre Fund Youth Project/Circle Fund Carol & Ping Ferry Haskell Wexler A major source of support has been the many hours of time contributed by numerous people including many who it has not been possible to mention here. GROUNDWORK INSTITUTE is a non-profit organization concerned with creating low cost, environmentally sound communities, based on the participation of the people who live in them. The Institute has its roots in a series of projects undertaken by a group of architects, builders, and environmental professionals to assist people in developing countries and disadvantaged communities in the U.S. For example, one of our projects was with a low income village in the West Indies. This work was oriented toward construction of a small village employin gconcepts of waste reclying, sustainable energy systems, and ultra-low cost housing built from local materials. The design and construction was done together with the people of the community. In teh early stages we constructed a biogas digester, initiated a community education program, built energy efficient stoves in community workshops, and demoonstrated low cost bilding methods utilizing local materials. We are involved with community developent as a unified process from project invention, financing, and design through the mechanics of execution: carpentry, plumbing, etc. In addition, we see our work as integral with education and with social and economic issues. The Institure forms a base for bringing together material and human support for this type of work. GROUNDWORK INSTITUTE is recognized by the IRS as a 501 c(3) non-profit corporation and your contributions are tax deductible.
