Pave the Path to a Sustainable Future

Every donation leaves a lasting mark. Help create a sustainable future by supporting Project Living Proof.

Project Living Proof (PLP) is a historic Kansas City home that inspires visitors to adopt cutting-edge sustainable solutions for their homes, gardens and transportation. As a unique demonstration site, PLP showcases energy conserving choices, from electric vehicles to geothermal heating and native-plant gardening. The site demonstrates ways to apply varied sustainable lifestyle choices to any home, regardless of its age. This hands-on classroom offers an immersive learning experience that helps people understand and implement sustainable practices in daily life.

To ensure PLP continues to serve as a beacon of eco-conscious living, we are seeking support to address maintenance and technology upgrades. Your investment ensures that this vital resource continues to educate and empower the Kansas City community for years to come, providing inspiration for greener, more energy-efficient lifestyles all over our region.

Help Us Continue Project Living Proof's Inspirations for Sustainability

Your contributions will support three key areas:

Energy-Efficient Upgrades ($75,000): Modernize heating, cooling, and electrical systems to keep PLP a leading demonstration site for sustainable living. We’ll also replace a charging station to maintain cutting-edge technologies.
Community Spaces ($22,000): Optimize spaces for events and educational workshops. Lighting and display updates will keep the visitor experience accessible to all.
Maintenance and Upkeep ($25,000): Ensure the safety and accessibility of the hands-on classroom by upgrading outdoor spaces like the yard and deck, as well as maintaining the retaining wall and other physical structures.

Your help provides critical maintenance, energy-efficient upgrades, and the creation of modern demonstration spaces, keeping PLP an accessible resource for all, and providing hands-on knowledge transfer about sustainable living practices. Every donation—large or small—plays a vital role in keeping this eco-conscious demonstration home an inspiring place for visitors to learn about sustainable solutions for their homes, transportation, and gardens. Together, we are building a more sustainable future for all.
