Partners
Groundwork Denver is a community-based nonprofit that partners with local residents and organizations, the City and other governmental agencies, foundations and private businesses to create programs that improve the environment one community at a time.
Groundwork USA is a network of independent, not-for-profit, environmental
businesses called Groundwork Trusts. Each Groundwork organization
works with communities to improve their environment, economy and quality
of life through local action by getting local people, businesses, government
and other organizations involved in practical projects. The Groundwork
USA network is built on partnership and linked together by the Groundwork
USA national office, with support from the Environmental Protection Agency
Brownfields Program and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and
Conservation Assistance Program. There are currently fifteen independent
Groundwork Trusts in the network. Here is the 2006 Groundwork USA Year
