My Nonprofit Reviews

Keep Sedona Beautiful continues to protect the beauty and environment of the Greater Sedona Area. Through their efforts and the efforts of others in the community, a horrifically inappropriate development proposal was just withdrawn.

Keep Sedona Beautiful consistently strives to act in the best interests of both the community and the environment. For nearly 50 years now we have kept roadways clean of litter, held educational speaker series events to inform members and the public on topics of concern, educated the community on the value of native plant gardening, and promoted dark skies. We support businesses and organizations who act in the best interests of the community through our annual Awards. We vigorously oppose unwise development proposals.

Keep Sedona Beautiful (KSB) is a singularly valuable organization in Sedona and the greater Verde Valley. It's mission is "Keep Sedona Beautiful, Inc., acting through the stewardship of its members and volunteers, is committed to protect and sustain the unique scenic beauty and natural environment of the Greater Sedona Area." It fulfills that mission through programs like its' corps of litter lifters who keep some 70 miles of roadways clean. It provides education through events like the annual Native Plant Workshop and the popular Speaker Series. It was critical in raising awareness in the community of the need to preserve our dark skies. Through the efforts led by KSB, Sedona was the 8th community worldwide to receive dark sky designation from the International Dark Skies Association. KSB is a fully compliant 501(c)(3) non-profit that advocates responsibly for issues that reflect its mission.

Keep Sedona Beautiful (KSB) is an active and responsible advocate promoting preservation of the environment surrounding Sedona Arizona for over 40 years. It focuses in educating the community on environmental and sustainability issues. KSB is responsible for litter lifting on 70+ miles of Sedona roads and highways. Finally, KSB is the champion of local initiatives, such as obtaining designation as an International Dark Sky community.

KSB was the driving force behind gaining Dark Sky designation for both the City of Sedona and for the Village of Oak Creek. KSB is engaging other communities in the Verde Valley, encouraging them to strive for Dark Sky Designation.

This is a great means of helping ensure that our skies stay as free of light pollution as possible, making the area one of the best places to view the night sky.

Kudos.
