Working for Clean Water Progress
clean water fund brings people together to solve health, consumer, environmental and community problems.
2010 Annual Report
water is fundamental
Over the years, Clean Water Fund’s programs have grown to encompass a wide range of environmental and health concerns. But all of these issues and all of our work connect to clean, safe and affordable water. This remains the fundamental core of our work.
Our issues have never been more important than they are today. They cut across the entire spectrum of environmental concerns.
The Big Idea
let's create a clean water future by engaging the next generation of environmental leaders.
Nobody has a greater stake in our clean water future than youth. We need to build a new movement with fresh vision and leadership to ensure our nation’s clean water progress continues. Clean Water Fund will build this movement - with your support.
Environmental Justice in Mayland
Clean Water Fund is working on a series of policy initiatives and creating outreach to communities who suffer from a disproportionate share of the environmental health impacts of industrial and residential zoning that subject residents to neighboring polluting facilities. Clean Water Fund is continuing to promote replacements for incinerators, requiring best available technologies on pollution permits, and seeking a more thorough review of health impacts on communities by industrial facilities.
Making Democracy Work in New Jersey
Educating and empowering people to make a difference in public debates and policy decisions affecting their lives. Environmental justice requires decisionmaking that respects the rights of all to live in healthy communities. NJ Environmental Federation and Clean Water Fund members get involved by calling and writing their public officials, urging support for enviromental and health protection policies.

Coal Ash

Your U.S. Senators need to hear from you that controlling coal ash pollution is a common sense way to protect our health, our water and our communities.
We need you to tell your Senators: Coal ash is too toxic not to regulate

the stroller brigade is rolling into hartford. join us!
Parents, often moms, bear the brunt of finding safe products for their families. Connecticut has been a leader in banning toxic chemicals but we need the federal government to take action too! The Safe Chemicals Act of 2011 will ensure the products we use every day are free of chemicals that make our kids sick.
On Wednesday, August 10th, we will ask our Senators to join the brigade. Join us at Bushnell Park in Hartford to write letter and cards to our Senators! Contact Anne Hulick or Susan Eastwood for more information!
