Support a Sustainable Future: Partner with Torus for Impactful Grants

Welcome to Torus, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing sustainability and combating food waste. We invite you to explore how partnering with us through grants can make a significant impact on the environment and our communities.

Who We Are

Torus is a Princeton-based nonprofit focused on reducing food waste and promoting environmental sustainability through innovative composting solutions. Founded in 2023, we are a passionate team committed to making composting accessible to all households and businesses. Our mission is to turn food waste into valuable compost, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering a healthier planet.

What We Do

At Torus, we provide free composting services to households and businesses, helping them divert food waste from landfills and turn it into nutrient-rich compost. Our services include:
• Curbside Composting: We offer convenient food waste pickup directly from homes and businesses.
• Community Engagement: We partner with local organizations and businesses to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact.

Our Goals

1. Reduce Food Waste: Combat the 33% of food produced that is wasted by providing accessible composting services. Our goal is to expand our reach to 10,000 households, diverting thousands of pounds of food waste from landfills.
2. Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions: By diverting food waste from landfills, we aim to reduce approximately 1,000,000 pounds of CO2 emissions annually. Composting helps mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and supports a healthier environment.
3. Promote Sustainability: We strive to educate communities about the benefits of composting and sustainable living. Our programs and partnerships help build a culture of environmental responsibility.
4. Expand Our Impact: We are committed to growing our services to underserved areas and increasing our outreach efforts. With additional funding, we can enhance our programs, reach more households, and make a broader impact on the environment.
