210 Peachtree St. NW Atlanta, GA 30303
Support community-based composters and their participation in the 5th National Cultivating Community Composting (CCC) Forum and Workshop in Atlanta! This event is the only national event bringing together community-scale composters from coast to coast to network, share best practices, and build support for community-scale composting systems and enterprises. It is being held January 22-23, 2018, in conjunction with the US Composting Council’s International Conference and Trade Show, COMPOST2018.
Contributions will go into our scholarship fund to help us bring dozens of community composters to the event who normally could not attend due to the expense of travel – especially composters from underserved areas. With your help we can cover their travel, registration, and workshop costs!
All donations are tax deductible.
Community composters encompass small enterprises, universities, pedal-powered collectors, worker-owned cooperatives, community gardens and farms.
In order to thrive, they need to connect and learn from one another. Key issues the 5th National Cultivating Community Composting (CCC) Forum and Workshop will cover include financing, business models, logistics, best management practices, regs and permits, equipment, volunteer management, training, and communications and outreach.
As many community composters are nonprofit or small for-profit entities, attending a large conference is often impossible. With your help, scholarship recipients have the opportunity to learn practices that will improve their enterprises, while helping to elevate community composting to a national stage.
Help us get the following community composters to the event!
