Our story

Two nonprofits, one front door.

GreenSteam is co-built by the Green Guru Project and the DreamSteam Foundation. Two registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits. One shared aim: give students a clear path into real food rescue work.

Across the country, students need verified service hours for the National Honor Society, Bright Futures, college applications, and graduation requirements. Across the same country, food rescue programs (organizations that pick up surplus food from businesses and deliver it to food banks and community fridges) are perpetually short on volunteer labor.

These two worlds barely talk. Most students have never heard of their local food rescue chapter. Most rescue programs don't have a budget for student outreach. GreenSteambridges the gap—a curated directory that makes it simple to find the right program and start the conversation.

Co-founded by two nonprofit founders

GreenSteam is built jointly by Arjun Bajpai (founder of the DreamSteam Foundation) and Shaan Guru (founder of the Green Guru Project). It operates under the 501(c)(3) status of both organizations, not one with the other as a sponsor. Two nonprofits, equal billing.

DreamSteam Foundation

Founded by Arjun Bajpai · 501(c)(3)

DreamSteam Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Arjun Bajpai, running STEAM education and youth-service programs across India, Florida, and the Caribbean.

Green Guru Project

Founded by Shaan Guru · 501(c)(3)

Green Guru Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2024 in Orlando, Florida. It runs food rescue, financial literacy, and climate-action programs across four continents through 13 active members and partnerships with Panera, Windermere Prep, Ecotone Renewables, and Bears Outreach. That partner-vetting experience shapes the GreenSteam directory standards.

Neither nonprofit is the "parent". GreenSteam exists because both decided it should.
