Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To combine the fields of law, science, and public interest advocacy to develop and pursue strategies addressing the variety of environmental problems and related public health issues facing today's society and societies of the future.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Public interest research and litigation in the general area of environmental protection.

  • The National Environmental Law Center (NELC) is a non-profit litigation center founded in 1990 to enforce anti-pollution and environmental protection laws and promote long-term solutions to the nation's pressing environmental problems. NELC attorneys have a proven track record of bringing corporate polluters to justice. NELC works closely with state and local citizen groups, providing essential legal expertise to protect public health and the environment. NELC helps the public to shape and uphold our core environmental laws, serving as a major force in public interest litigation. NELC attorneys carefully monitor compliance with environmental laws and report violations to government agencies. When the government fails to take appropriate action, NELC does, winning court orders that stop illegal emissions and that impose monetary penalties for past violations.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
