Here at Great River Greening, we build strong, community-based partnerships, from our staff and Board of Directors to volunteer groups, donors, municipalities, vendors, schools, and the State of Minnesota. Minnesota’s land and water are shared natural systems, and we rely on the support of individuals and groups to protect them.

Today we’re shining the spotlight on several of our corporate partners whose support, through funding and/or in-kind contributions, truly makes them leaders in environmental stewardship.

TENNANT FOUNDATION

Tennant has been a consistent funder of our youth education programs —ensuring that young people continue to engage in community-based environmental justice projects with particular focus on collaborative work with schools and youth-serving organizations in north Minneapolis. Students experience hands-on restoration opportunities coupled with preliminary environmental education. The opportunity to engage — or re-engage young people with outdoor activities is profound, and the Tennant Foundation is a strong believer in this work, and we appreciate their investment in creating a new generation of environmental stewards!

Many thanks to the generous support of the following additional companies. These partners support Great River Greening through financial contributions: Stoel Rives LLP, Connexus Energy, RBC Wealth Management, and Fox Rothschild LLP.

 We can’t thank you enough for supporting Minnesota’s great outdoors.
