Supporters
The Green Apple Map has had wonderful supporters throughout its history.
Our longtime funder, New York City Environmental Fund, has been instrumental since 1997, when this project was under the fiscal umbrella of Architects, Designers and Planners for Social Responsibility, and after we got our 501c3 status in 2000. Greenacre Foundation has been a repeat funder of our Manhattan projects, too. Both have supported every Green Map we have published over the last decade.
Our first citywide map was sponsored by the Municipal Art Society in 1992; the third editions's first 65,000 copies were sponsored by Metropolis Magazine and Interface, Inc. in 1997; and in 2000, Earth Day New York sponsored the fourth edition's 100,000 copy press run.
