Ways to get involved\u2026<\/h3>

The formation of the Association for Promoting Sustainability in Campuses and Communities (APSCC) is to serve as an impetus, not-for-profit, and voluntary organization for sustainable development in conservation strategies, programs, and projects about water, healthy food, energy, waste (solid & liquid), and biodiversity among the educational institutions and local communities based on the Principle-3 of the Rio Declaration,<\/em> \u2018the right to development must be fulfilled to equitably meet developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations\u2019<\/em>, fostering Environmental Justice. Environmental justice was defined by the USEPA, \u2018as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, gender, national origin, or income concerning the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. It will be achieved when everyone enjoys the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards and equal access to the decision-making process to have a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work\u2019<\/em>. APSCC strive for environmental justice by providing resources, initiating action research and promoting sustainable innovations at the grassroots level, fostering \u2018attitude change\u2019, in collaboration with a network of eminent sustainability professionals, scientists, and universities across the globe, while simultaneously working in close coordination with multiple Indian, USA and UN organizations, both Government and Non-Government.

Security & Accountability<\/h3>

Since the day of incorporation in 2011, we have retained and honed our skill in managing and safeguarding donor contributions. Investment policies are balanced between current laws guiding the Association\u2019s fiduciary responsibilities with the expert guidance of financial professionals serving the Association. The Association practices prudent stewardship and carefully manages each fund to ensure the highest charitable growth possible, while the donor\u2019s original intent is assured.<\/p>

All grants received by the Association are used to benefit the environment and public. The Association has Administrative Council and Management Committee(s) to govern the stated \u2018Objects\u2019.<\/p>

Besides, the Association publishes an annual report to stay connected with donors, grantees, creating transparency that enables all those we serve to better understand our accomplishments and mission.<\/p>

Finally, an independent audit of our financials is performed annually by a leading Chartered Accountant and all financial information is publicly disclosed and the returns are filed with the Income Tax Department and Registrar of Societies respectively. The donors also receive financial reports on the fund from the Association quarterly\/ annually, depending upon the scope of the charitable activity.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
