Winning Campaigns, Building Organizations
The Fund gets results that make our country better. When the Environment America and other national environmental organizations presented the U.S. Forest Service with more than a million public comments demanding the preservation of our last pristine national forests, the Forest Service couldn’t say no. The Fund generated 600,000 of those comments.
In recent years, the Fund has helped build several brand-new state environmental groups into powerful political players. The Fund started working with Environment Colorado in 2003, the year the Colorado-based advocacy group was founded. Today, Environment Colorado has over 25,000 members and has played a key part in several significant victories, including passing the nation’s first-ever ballot initiative mandating utilities use more clean, renewable energy like wind and solar power.
Multiply those results by about 1,000 and you start to get a sense of what we’ve accomplished over the past 25 years. And we’ve only just begun.
