About us
The Ray C. Anderson Foundation was created in honor of the late Ray C. Anderson (1934-2011), founder of Interface, Inc. During his time at Interface, Ray championed the notion of businesses doing well by doing good. It’s these noble qualities of advancing knowledge and innovation around environmental stewardship and sustainability that recognized Ray as a pioneer in industrial ecology. The purpose of the Foundation is to perpetuate these shared values and continue the legacy that Ray left behind. Through research and funding, the Foundation aims to help create a better world for future generations—tomorrow’s child. We seek to: Fund innovative ideas and projects that promote visionary change in society. Educate the public and business leaders alike in meaningful ways that propel revolutionary, sustainable change. Inspire a new generation of leaders and consumers to be good stewards of the planet's resources, igniting action that radically impacts the way we live, work and play. Connect thinkers, builders, innovators and idealists to a shared, ethical responsibility to the environment.

Sustainable Newton released an important video on #EarthDay and we are proud that they chose to use #RayDay as a backdrop for many of the scenes. We are also proud that they interviewed our own John Lanier, executive director of the Ray C. Anderson Foundation to speak about the ways Sustainable Newton has taken the Drawdown Georgia framework of #climatesolutions and made huge strides in their own corner of Georgia. Ray Anderson always said, "Brighten the Corner Where You Are." 🌞 If you didn't get a chance to see this video a few weeks ago, it's worth taking the time to watch now!
On #EarthDay and every day, we're building a world where people and planet are as important as profit and future generations matter. THIS is what we mean:

The North Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church had the chance to demonstrate the solar microgrid trailer that we funded last year in partnership with them, the Footprint Project and Cherry Street Energy for disaster response in Georgia and beyond. The trailer was on display to representatives from all around the world this week at the United Methodist General Conference in Charlotte, NC. Apparently the "solar-made coffee" 🌞 ☕ was quite a hit. #solar #microgrid #disasterresponse Rev. Jenny Phillips https://lnkd.in/ghcfWgJW
