About

The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Education Fund’s mission is to strengthen the capacity of the environmental movement, to educate and mobilize citizens on critical environmental issues, and to advocate for sound environmental policies.  Our core programs are designed to create a stronger and more unified environmental movement to secure policies that reduce global warming, promote clean energy, safeguard public health and protect natural resources.

An independent, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization, LCV Education Fund was founded in 1985 to provide research and training on environmental issues.  We launched our grassroots program in 1995 to activate the movement’s citizen support base at the national, state and local levels.  Since then, LCV Education Fund has delivered valuable technology, organizing tools, and training to more than 500 environmental and allied groups.  LCV Education Fund possesses national experience in field organizing, policy, list development, research and non partisan civic engagement that is unmatched in the environmental community and rarely outside of it.

Since 1996, LCV Education Fund has worked closely with the independent state conservation voter league education funds (also known as “state LCV education funds”), helping grow the total number from 9 to more than 30 today.  In 2007, we entered into a new partnership with the state LCV education funds, providing us with greater synergy across our programs.  We closely coordinate non-partisan issue and civic engagement campaigns, with state LCV education funds providing outstanding state and local involvement.
