What Green Wave Enterprises does

Green Wave Enterprises is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2006 by Janine Jordan that produces creative campaigns, events, fiscal sponsorships, and consulting services for environmental and community initiatives, primarily in Costa Rica and the broader Latin American region. Its core activities include press outreach and media support, campaign and content consultation, event guidance, and fiscal sponsorship for aligned organizations such as Wild Sun Rescue, Futuro Verde, and the Karen Mogensen Reserve. The organization also operates branded programs including the open-source Cetadelic art movement for cetacean liberation, Permaculture Pinup, Electronic Music Alliance, Botanical Portrait Experiences, and Mercado Delicioso community markets.

The underlying technology footprint is minimal: Green Wave does not maintain a proprietary technology platform and relies on standard web infrastructure (Strikingly-hosted site, Facebook, blog/RSS, Pledge.to for donations), with its principal digital asset being the Cetadelic open-source VJ loop library and Permaculture Pinup content. Revenue is generated primarily through individual and organizational donations, supplemented by fiscal sponsorship fees, occasional environmental consulting, and a small transactional offering (Botanical Portrait Experiences priced at approximately ₡80,000). Customers are predominantly grassroots nonprofits, artists, eco-entrepreneurs, and individual donors aligned with regenerative culture, ocean conservation, permaculture education, and pesticide awareness missions.

The organization operates with a lean team of 1–10 staff and advisors spanning permaculture, sustainable production, blockchain branding, and eco-hospitality, supported by offices in Las Vegas and Brooklyn and operational headquarters at Green Wave House in Delicias de Cobano, Costa Rica. Strategic activity through 2025–2026 includes the Cetadelic launch and its evolution into a paid creative service, plus title sponsorship of the 2025 Global Hemp Industry SWOT Report extending programmatic reach to Uganda and Ukraine.
