The Pearlstone Center
In September 2014, Beth Tfiloh officially partnered with Pearlstone Center to provide environmental education opportunities, assist with the completion of the Green School application, work with faculty on environmental engagement, advise the High School environmental club and more.
Pearlstone had partnered with Beth Tfiloh in the past to help create the lower school vegetable garden, begin a short-lived compost system, and kick off the high school environmental club. Various grade levels also come to Pearlstone for educational programming.

Clothing Drive
Each year Beth Tfiloh organizes a used clothing drive to benefit a local shelter. Instead of families throwing away clothes they no longer need they donate it to the clothing drive which is then given to a shelter. In November 2013, clothing was donated to the Wolfe Street Academy and in December 2014, clothing was donated to Hannah Moore, Beans and Bread, Pauls' Place, and Helping Up Mission.
Green Loan Fund
In April 2015 Beth Tfiloh applied for a $100,000 loan from The Associated's Green Loan Fund. This loan was primarily for a lighting project to replace all the lights in the school with LED's. This was approved and Beth Tfiloh switched all of their lighting in the summer of 2014.
