Sustainable Resilient Longmont

What Sustainable Resilient Longmont does

Sustainable Resilient Longmont (SRL) is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 that operates as a community organizing hub for environmental sustainability in Longmont and Boulder County. The organization runs three core program pillars — Renewable Energy, Zero Waste, and Earth Day — plus a year-round Earth Action Team added in 2024 and the Electrify Longmont campaign launched in 2021 to drive building electrification and EV adoption. Its offerings consist of free community events (the annual Longmont Earth Day Celebration, the Electrify Longmont Fair, candidate forums, cleanups), educational workshops (Community Climate Action Workshops, Building Electrification Seminar), and an annual ticketed Sustainability Awards gala that doubles as a fundraiser.

SRL has no proprietary technology platform, app, or public API; outreach is conducted through its website (srlongmont.org), Facebook and Instagram accounts, a YouTube channel, an email newsletter, and in-person committee meetings across Renewable Energy, Zero Waste, and Earth Action programs. Notable technical-adjacent capabilities are limited to event production and policy-advocacy operations supported by a small staff (Executive Director Ryan Schutz plus named operations staff) and a board-led governance structure.

The business model is a diversified nonprofit revenue mix consisting of tiered membership dues ($25–$250 per year), tax-deductible community donations processed via PayPal, ticketed event proceeds from the Sustainability Awards gala and silent auction, and corporate/event sponsorships from local businesses and credit unions. SRL's customer base is the Longmont-area community — primarily individual residents and families, with secondary engagement from local businesses seeking sustainability visibility and elected-official partners — and it monetizes mission-supporting activity rather than selling software or services at a unit-economic margin.
