When Southface was founded in 1978, energy efficiency wasn’t yet considered an environmental issue. Now, through the generosity of our annual supporters, Southface has grown to help eliminate nearly 50 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions from our environment through work initiated annually.
Your gift supports Southface’s bold goal: by 2030, eliminate 100,000 metric tons of CO2e emissions through annual programming.
As we look forward, one thing is clear: our work today is just as important as it was 46 years ago. Since 1978, carbon emissions have increased by nearly 16% in the U.S., with buildings and construction responsible for 47% of carbon emissions globally.

Planned Giving
Southface’s Cornerstone Society honors and recognizes donors who have made plans to leave a legacy for Southface by including the organization in their estate plans.
It can be a gift of cash, assets or retirement funds, of a specific amount or a remaining percentage of the estate.
If you are a current supporter of Southface, a gift from your estate will enable your enthusiasm for our mission to endure and possibly facilitate greater giving than you thought possible.
If you are interested in learning more about the Cornerstone Society and planned giving opportunities, our team would be happy to meet with you to talk about the organization’s longterm vision and the variety of ways to support our mission and work.
