SMART Cup - Golf Tournament & Fundraiser

SMART Cup - Golf Tournament & Fundraiser

SMART CUP is the Golf Tournament and Fundraiser for RNG Coalition’s Sustainable Methane Abatement & Recycling Timeline (SMART) Endowment. An initiative to capture and control methane produced from the 43,000+ aggregated organic waste sites in North America by 2050, achieving meaningful benchmarks by 2025, 2030 and 2040.

SMART is creating foundation support - a legacy - to ensure that the environmental, economic and education work central to the RNG Coalition’s mission and critical to achieving the SMART initiative, continues reliably in perpetuity. The SMART Endowment supports the financial stability and continuity of the RNG Coalition, including through inevitable geopolitics, natural disasters, health crises and related market conditions and dynamics beyond the organization’s control that may negatively impact it’s budget, operations and ability to carry out our shared industry mission and achieve our SMART Initiative.
