Donor Satisfaction
At Vida Verde, we see your donation as a partnership. When you give, you become a member of our community, and you have direct influence on our students’ lives.

Vida Verde works hard to keep our budget low so you can feel confident that your donation is being used in the most effective way possible. We are a fiscally responsible organization that will make the most of every single dollar that you donate.

Here are some reasons why we think you should feel good about giving to this program:

Powerful Purpose – Vida Verde is an organization that is passionately dedicated to meeting its powerful mission.
Exciting – Vida Verde is a fun place; it’s a crossroads where urban hip-hop meets the rural environment.
Smart – Vida Verde is organized & efficient, creates powerful results
Personable – Vida Verde is a small organization that is accessible, and cares about creating long-lasting relationships with its supporters.
Thrifty and Resourceful -- Vida Verde is a grassroots org. that uses resources creatively.

Since 2004, Vida Verde has been working with business consultant Eric Ryan of Manage For Good. Eric has donated years of consulting to Vida Verde in order to help us maintain a quality control/ performance review/ management system within the business. This management system has ensured that Vida Verde stays as efficient, organized, and focused as possible, and it has enabled smart future planning for growth and development.
