About the Event
ECO-HOPE? What is it and how YOU can make a difference?
Our fall-to-winter theme this year is Eco-Hope. At Sustainable Stillwater MN, we recognize that living in a time of climate change can take a heavy toll on people’s mental well-being. Many experience eco-grief—feelings of anxiety, sadness, or helplessness over environmental losses and an uncertain future. Our work aims to turn that grief into eco-hope by fostering connection, inspiring action, and empowering individuals to see that positive change is possible.
If you missed our Eco-Hope & Youth Gala on November 7th, there’s still time to support Sustainable Stillwater MN’s mission by participating in Give to the Max Day, Minnesota’s largest giving event, from November 1-21.
What is Eco-Hope?
Eco-hope means embracing both the challenges we face and the potential for renewal. It’s about moving beyond fear and despair, finding purpose through action, and connecting with others to create meaningful solutions. We believe that hope grows through collaboration, education, and the small but meaningful actions we take every day.
How Your Donation Brings Eco-Hope to Life:
🌱 Support Young Climate Leaders: Help us empower the next generation of changemakers, providing them with resources and platforms to transform eco-grief into innovative solutions.
🚲 Promote Sustainable Living: Expand local green transportation options—like bike paths, EV chargers, and public transit—so that eco-friendly choices become easy and accessible for all.
🌳 Enhance Natural Spaces: Your gift helps us preserve and improve our tree canopy, clean water resources, and air quality, creating healthier spaces for both people and wildlife.
💼 Strengthen Green Businesses: Investing in sustainable local businesses boosts the economy while encouraging eco-conscious practices, ensuring that our community becomes both greener and more resilient.
Why Give Now?
We are working tirelessly to ACTIVATE, EDUCATE, and MOTIVATE the Stillwater community to develop a bold Climate Action Plan over the next ten years—because the time to act is now. With your support, we can make sustainability not just a goal, but a way of life.
Your tax-deductible donation during Give to the Max Day will directly support our efforts to ease environmental anxiety by offering hopeful, actionable solutions. Through community events, volunteer initiatives, and youth programs, we provide ways for people to get involved, feel empowered, and take ownership of their role in building a sustainable future.
Even if you couldn’t attend our Eco-Hope Gala, this is your chance to make a lasting impact. Visit GiveMN.org between November 1 and 21 to donate, follow our progress, and see how your generosity contributes to positive change.
Together, we can build a future rooted in hope, action, and sustainability. Thank you for your donation and belief in a greener, healthier tomorrow!
