Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Environmental Law Foundation's (ELF) mission is to protect the environment, communities, and consumers against harmful toxics and other environmental harms. Our work consistently improves environmental quality for those most at risk by providing access to information, strategies and enforcement of environmental, toxics, and community right-to-know laws.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Environmental Law Foundation's (ELF) mission is to protect the environment, communities, and consumers against harmful toxics and other environmental harms. Our work consistently improves environmental quality for those most at risk by providing access to information, strategies and enforcement of environmental, tonics, and community right-to-know laws.

  • In order to achieve our mission, ELF brings legal cases and advocates on behalf of the public interest. In 2022, among other things, we advocated for flow requirements in the Scott River in Northern California. We also litigated cases protecting groundwater resources in the San Joaquin Valley and advocated for regulation of dairy CAFOs consistent with state law.

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.
