Support for Project Living Proof (PLP) helps fund critical maintenance, energy-efficient upgrades, and educational space improvements. These contributions keep PLP a vital community resource, offering hands-on demonstrations of sustainable living. Every donation helps PLP inspire eco-conscious solutions for homes, transportation, and gardens. Every hour of volunteering empowers the next generation of environmentally conscious homeowners. Together, we’re creating a more sustainable future.

Energy-Saving Demos

Fully modernized heating, cooling, insulating, and electrical systems will keep PLP a leading demonstration site for up-to-date sustainable living. We’ll also add solar panels and update our charging station to maintain cutting-edge technologies.
