The project was partially funded with donations to a community carbon fund. Now, what do I do next?”That question led to the Discovery Center partnering with another local nonprofit to create the Carbon Community Fund. Launched in partnership with the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area, the carbon fund accepts donations from residents and uses those donations to fund local conservation efforts such as tree plantings that sequester carbon from the air. Over the next 40 years, Discovery Center staff estimate, that project will sequester more than 2,734 metric tons of carbon. So far, the community fund’s total contributions have been small.
