Info

PennFuture feels a particular obligation to assist other environmental groups and individuals, providing services and know-how to enable others to succeed. We also continuously work to create larger and more diverse coalitions, bringing new partners into the vital work of protecting our environment and public health. Through PennFuture’s Environmental Communications Resource Center, we offer training, mentoring and even high tech digital equipment to help groups and individuals take their message to the public and the media in a highly professional way. While most of the Center’s services are provided to groups in southwestern Pennsylvania, the Center staff has helped design radio and television campaigns statewide for issues including renewable energy, Growing Greener funding, factory farms, watershed protection, problems from longwall mining and air pollution. PennFuture’s attorneys provide free legal advice and representation to individuals and organizations across the state, with a minimum of $2 million of legal expertise provided each year. We also work with law schools across the state to help develop a new generation of legal advocates for the environment. Our intern programs also strive to add expertise to the youthful enthusiasm of students committed to the environment, providing training in research, outreach, organizing, public presentations and strategic media campaigns. And PennFuture’s vibrant government relations work serves as a watchdog in Harrisburg for the state’s entire environmental community. When bad environmental legislation is being offered – nearly always late at night or on weekends, outside of the light of day and observation of the public – PennFuture is there, alerting citizen networks, negotiating and working with legislators to make sure that no harm comes from these attempts. And when good legislation is passed, PennFuture is there from the start, educating legislators and guiding the bill successfully through the legislative process. Finally, recognizing the need to expand our support and create stable funding, we continue to build The Endowment for Pennsylvania’s Future. This growing fund is returning interest to guarantee that our future – and the future of Pennsylvania’s environment – is bright and green.
Once again, PennFuture has been named a Four Star Charity by Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org), America's largest charity evaluator. Charity Navigator works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of America's largest charities. PennFuture’s rating, which includes an overall numerical score of 68.54, is the highest of any environmental organization in the state and second highest state charity overall, second only to Carnegie-Mellon University.
