Raising Funds for Sustainability Projects on a College Campus
Catawba College located in Salisbury, NC was the 13th college in the country to reach Carbon Neutrality. This was achieved 7 years ahead of schedule and was done very intentionally. Catawba's development staff, working with the Center for the Environment's staff has raised over $160M in endowed and non-endowed gifts in recent years for geo-thermal systems, solar systems, sustainable building renovations and many other initiatives. We are creating a living laboratory on our campus to teach our students, faculty, staff and our community how we can change our world using our built environment and campus grounds.
