Organizations Filed Purposes: Daily Acts Organization's mission is to inspire transformative action that creates connected, equitable, climate-resilient communities.

SUSTAINABILITY, DESIGN AND EDUCATIONWe offer our low-cost, low-tech, people-powered solutions through our talks, tours, and workshops that allow for opportunities to take part in hands-on learning. Government Contracts/Civic Programs - We work with the City of Petaluma, the Town of Windsor and the City of Cotati to provide engaging and relevant water conservation and stormwater education through our programs. Program offerings often include topics around lawn conversions, graywater, rainwater harvesting, and water-wise plants. We also provide resources around local water rebates to help participants implement what they learn at our programs. In 2019, Daily Acts and the Sonoma Ecology Center conducted outreach and a needs assessment as part of Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan to collect information about water related issues affecting disadvantaged communities.Homegrown Programs - Homegrown Programs build household and community self-relianceby transforming home and landscapes into productive, resilient ecosystems. With a growing bounty of inspiring Homegrown Model Sites, Tours, Workshops and Community Groups like the Homegrown Guild and Petaluma Garden Wheel, our Homegrown Programs provide the skills, resources and connections to transform howyou live. In 2019 our reach extended through CALWEP on a training and demonstration garden installation project in Central Valley.Fire Recovery - The 2017 North Bay Wildfires destroyed close to 3,000 homes in SantaRosa, California, roughly 5% of its housing. Many households were significantly under-insured and faced increased costs for rebuilding and landscaping. In 2018 Daily Acts collaborated with community partners to create scalable landscape design templates designed for water, fire, and resource resilience. These templates are free to the public and expedite permit approval while saving thousands of dollars in expense per household. Daily Acts completed its fire recovery work in 2019 by using these templates for a community installation project in the Coffey Park neighborhood in Santa Rosa, California, where four families received a front-yard landscape that also serve as demonstration gardens for the Landscape Design Templates. Daily Acts also hosted three bilingual programs on irrigation and sheet mulching and co-hosted a series of community input sessions to discuss landscaping in the rebuild, and how to scale and substitute plants in the templates.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHNorth Bay Environmental Health Network - In 2018 Daily Acts commenced a new pilot program in partnership with the Jonas Family Fund focused on children and environmental health. We are exploring the interrelationships between children's health and the environments in which they live, learn and play. With a focus on education, outreach, and community engagement, we are developing offerings that support children's (and all of our) health and well-being by educating families, educators, school board members, administrators, and health advocates on evidence-based best practices for toxics reduction and/or elimination in community areas.

LEADERSHIP TRAININGThe Leadership Institute for Just and Resilient Communities - In the Fall 2017 the Leadership Institute of Ecology and the Economy closed its doors, and its programs, resources and stewardship of the Fellows Network became a part of Daily Acts. Our Leadership Program is an educational program that inspires, empowers, and connects leaders across Sonoma County to create equitable, thriving, and climate resilient communities. Over the course of 10 months, cohorts meet once a month to build skills in personal leadership, regenerative living, civic engagement and growing collective power through expert presentations, self-reflection, peer-learning, project work, and tours. Topics include access to clean water, food and housing, addressing climate change, and creating healthy regenerative economies.
