Testimonials
"We chose to work with BEF for a number of reasons: we support their mission as a nonprofit foundation, we believe BEF continues to innovate and provide much needed clarity, integrity and leadership within the REC market; we admire their business and marketing acuity. We take great pride in associating ourselves with a nonprofit foundation with both vision and leadership in the emerging renewable energy market."
"It's been a pleasure working with the Bonneville Foundation staff on this project (Merrill Middle School in Iowa), the first of five completed with Wells Fargo funding. On the "unveiling" day, we were lucky to enjoy blue skies and participation from the mayor of Des Moines, the Des Moines Public School Superintendent and senior managers from Wells Fargo. The students created projects featured at an Eco Fair after the ceremony, and we hosted a reception for parents and interested community members that added to the festivities. The information the system sends to the on-site kiosk is fascinating, and we know it has sparked a great amount of interest in solar and other forms of energy as well as increased environmental awareness."
"BEF's monitoring-intensive strategy and pledge of 10-year support provides us with a unique opportunity. With the promise of long-term funding, we can now develop and implement a strategy that will address complex watershed restoration and monitoring needs over a decade or more."
"BEF has consistently demonstrated that it has the expertise to help us accomplish our organization's objectives [of sustainable business practices] by enabling us to allocate funds directly to renewable energy projects and watershed ecosystems and, thereby, make a positive, measurable contribution to the renewable energy industry. Throughout our working relationship with BEF, we have been impressed by the organization's integrity, ability to innovate and the high quality of its results."
"As a visionary and efficient nonprofit organization, BEF allows us to maximize our impact on the renewable energy industry... We have been impressed by the organization's integrity... and willingness to support Patagonia and the many questions we always seem to ask!"
