Here is summary of their mission, history and programs written by CSC:
To foster sustainable development that empowers individuals and institutions to manage resources in the short term so that natural assets remain available and reproducible in the long term.
We started in 1999 as the joint masters’ project of students in UCLA’s Department of Urban Planning. In order to continue our work, after graduating in 2000, we incorporated as Mundo IximchĂ© on April 27, 2001. We became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2002, IRS i.d. #95-4856131. As our emphasis shifted from our rural program to our urban ones, we decided that we needed a new name that better reflects our overall mission: Cultivating Sustainable Communities. California certified our new name in November 2005, and we currently await IRS certification.
