About Verde

Verde partners with communities most impacted by environmental injustices to develop solutions that create economic and collective well-being. We primarily work in NE Portland, but our advocacy efforts span across the state.

We advocate for environmental action that improves air quality, energy efficiency, transportation, and water. We organize people to provide knowledge about environmental challenges in their neighborhood and share ways for them to take action to improve their community.

Our team invests in clean energy solutions that provide relief from the burdens of high utility bills and extreme weather. We develop large scale community solar projects, expand green infrastructure at homes, and install affordable home heating and cooling upgrades.
