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
The League of Conservation Voters Education Fund works to turn environmental values into national, state, and local priorities. The fund strives to build a more powerful, racially diverse, and inclusive environmental movement; advance climate change solutions through policy at all levels of government; expand civic participation and fight back against threats to American democracy and structural barriers to participation; and protect public health and well-being by ensuring access for all to clean water, clean air, and public lands and green spaces.

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.
