CLCV Education Fund was established as a 501(c)3 organization in 1996 by a group of Californians concerned about the connection between a lack of engaged civic participation and negative consequences for the environment. Since then, through programs focused on voter engagement and mobilization, issue advocacy, legislative accountability, and research and opinion polling, CLCV Education Fund has provided the public, policymakers, and environmental advocates with the resources they need to make California’s air, water and natural resources cleaner and greener through the democratic process.
