This document summarizes a presentation about green nonprofits and grassroots organizing. It discusses Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET), a grassroots nonprofit that has weatherized over 200 buildings, trained over 3,000 volunteers, and saved homeowners over $1 million through energy efficiency projects. The document also outlines different types of nonprofits and advises that the best way to get a grassroots nonprofit job is to volunteer until you have created your own role within the organization.
