Program Strategy & Goals

Project details

What we need
  • Evaluation of current programmatic needs and how a program plan can address them
  • Recommendations for an appropriate course of action to reach the desired objectives, including guidance on how to allocate resources and measure success
  • Plan that outlines the resources and steps required to reach short- and long-term goals
Additional details

I hope to devise a plan to incorporate Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) and Soil Remediation as part of ongoing organizational programming (rather than one-off, or year-by-year projects).
This involves translating programming that my organization does in select locations (fundraised per project) to something which we are supported to do on an ongoing basis.
Our eventual goal is to provide strategies to municipal partners for environmentally friendly, equitable policy revisions.

What we have in place
  • https://groundedpgh.org/projects/grounded-gsi-hazelwood/?jfb1=2
    https://groundedpgh.org/projects/gsi/
    https://groundedpgh.org/projects/pbgrounded/

    Additionally, we can offer data/resources from our archives (by request) for further background on what our progress/process has been to date.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,775 , allowing us to install another GSI feature within one of the communities we serve, perform additional soil contamination mitigation, and improve community health and well-being.

This project will help Grounded to establish a more solid financial footing to continue performing both remedial and forward-facing work in terms of environmental stewardship within our service area (Allegheny County). It will allow us to incorporate more interventions per-parcel, strengthening our impact in the communities we serve, and allowing a greater degree of benefit to be derived from the green spaces we design.

Our mission

To improve the social, economic, and environmental health of distressed and transitional communities by building capacity to reclaim vacant and underutilized land.

What we do

Grounded uses the process of reclaiming vacant and underutilized land as a platform for engagement, education, and building trust among communities. This "people and places" approach intentionally acknowledges that any physical interventions will need to be sustained by passionate and prepared individuals and that in order for residents to thrive in all aspects of their lives, they must find support, safety, and pride in their physical environment. Our work is often a catalyst for greater change.
