Program Frameworks
Matter of Trust

Administrative
Our Administrative Department is compiled of Operations, HR, Finance, Engineering, Philanthropy, Outreach, Facilities, & Social Media. This team is our rock and ensures that our oxygen mask is on securely so that we can thrive in our 6 other Program Departments. This public charity is basically a small family business with big dreams and wide reach. Our Board, President, Directors, Managers, Leads, Staff, Apprentices, Interns, Volunteers, and Partners, feel lucky to work steadily and tirelessly on what we all love.
Hair Matters
Hair Matters Program** – Our flagship Eco-Hub and MofT’s Global Partner Hubs make mats that are installed in storm drains, and contaminated waste-water filtration systems, to soak up petroleum spills. Beyond this, natural fibers make an excellent substrate and are a slow nitrogen release, proving to remediate soil as well as help to regenerate seagrass and kelp forests. Together with donors, felters, researchers, purchasers, artists and media… this program keeps waterways clean, sorts trash into resources, restores habitats, inspires the public and creates cottage-industry green jobs!
