Green Fund
Think Globally, Act Locally
Honor the past, sustain our future
We worship on lands that originally sustained the Chinook People of the Columbia River. Today we seek to lessen the harm of human activity on the land we steward by implementing greener operations of the physical plant and grounds. The Camas Friends Church Green Fund offers a way for the people who use our land to pay a self-imposed carbon tax to cover costs of green up-grades.
Guidelines of the CFC Green Fund:
As a way of grounding projects to care for the Earth, they can be categorized by the elements !
Earth: Soil improvement, planting and landscape, plastic minimization
Water: Drainage, stormwater management, water conserving plumbing fixtures
Fire: Energy conservation, heating, cooling, lighting, solar energy, window replacement, insulation
Air: Indoor or outdoor air quality improvement, mold and airborne allergen abatement
How the fund works:

The church will consider accepting designated gifts under certain conditions
