As a leading force in advancing sustainability across San Mateo County, Sustainable San Mateo County is committed to helping cities like yours build a more resilient, thriving and sustainable future. With over 33 years of service, we have supported local governments by providing valuable resources, data and initiatives that create real, lasting change.
Throughout 2025, we’ll continue to offer critical programs that help cities achieve their sustainability goals:
Our Sustainability Dashboard offers real-time data, helping cities track and share their progress on environmental goals.
The Sustainability Ideas Bank provides a wealth of proven policies and programs, allowing cities to implement tested solutions efficiently.
We publish our annual Indicators Report, offering in-depth analysis on key sustainability issues that affect our region.
We’ve just launched our new City Sustainability Newsletter with updates and best practices, designed specifically for local governments.
To continue providing these essential resources, we rely on the generous support of cities like yours. We greatly appreciate Portola Valley's past support of $1,000 and we kindly ask you to consider increasing your contribution to this year. Your generous investment helps sustain our work and ensures that we can continue to provide invaluable resources to cities throughout the county. Your city will receive all the benefits of being an SSMC Annual Sponsor, as listed HERE.
As you consider this request, we would also like to invite you to SSMC’s 26th Annual Awards Celebration! We will be hosting this exciting event at the College of San Mateo on Thursday, April 3, 2025 from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. We hope you can join us as we celebrate the sustainability achievements of local businesses, individuals and organizations. Local awardees we will be honoring at the event include Colin Chu (Portola Valley), COB3 – County Office Building 3 (Redwood City), Belle Haven/Menlo Park (Green Building Honorable Mention), El Concilio (East Palo Alto & Redwood City), and John Crowell (Redwood City). Register Here for tickets and tables.
Thank you for your consideration and continued partnership. Together, we can drive San Mateo County toward a more sustainable, equitable future.
