We helped Wangari Maathai turn her passion for tree planting and community-building in Kenya into the global Green Belt Movement<\/em> that swept through Africa and spread around the world.\u00a0 In 2004 Maathai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work.\u00a0 We helped Van Jones launch his Green For All<\/em> program and expand the reach of his Green Jobs initiative in our local area. Our Himalayan Project<\/em> raised funds to rebuild a whole Nepali village after the devastating earthquake of 2015, and Cambodian Living Arts<\/em> restored culture and community in the Cambodian diaspora 40 years after a devastating civil war.<\/p>\n

On nearly every continent, operating on every scale, Marion Institute\u2019s Greenhouse Initiatives have expanded the capacity of dozens of non-profits, and helped to positively impact millions of lives. We apply our skills, our passion, and our network to strengthen capacity, expand impact, and turn great ideas into great works, creating progress at every phase.<\/p>\n
