Overview
This renewal grant will support the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund’s efforts on behalf of the West’s public lands, specifically to encourage the creation of new national monuments, reduce the impact of coal mining on Western public lands, and promote the adoption of a permanent source of federal funding for land purchases. To accomplish these goals, the Fund will enlist help from its members, educate federal policymakers, work closely with other conservation organizations, and communicate to the public through traditional and social media.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
This grant supports the priorities of the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund to turn environmental values into national priorities. Key programs include encouraging federal climate leadership, supporting Chispa in their mission to include Latinx and other impacted communities of color in shaping climate policies, and advancing state-level climate policies. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
for Latino engagement on climate and clean energy policy
The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund (LCVEF) recently developed a national Latino engagement program. The program seeks to create a "home base" for Latinos engaged with climate and clean energy issues-an effort that will simultaneously diversify and strengthen the environmental movement. With this supplemental grant, in 2014, LCVEF will deepen the program in three states where Latino engagement may provide substantial influence on clean energy and climate policy. The program will identify and engage Latinos on clean air, clean energy, and climate change issues, in order to create an atmosphere in which decision makers at many levels are supported in adopting policies that reduce global warming pollution.
for Latino engagement on climate and clean energy policy
The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund has launched a national Latino engagement program. The program seeks to create a "home base" for Latinos who care about climate and clean energy issues--an effort that will simultaneously diversify and strengthen the environmental movement. LCVEF will focus the program in three to four states where there are potentially influential Latino populations, starting with Colorado. The Colorado program will identify and engage Latinos on clean air, clean energy, and climate change issues in order to create an atmosphere within the state in which decision-makers at many levels are supported in adopting polities that reduce global warming pollution.
