About CITIZENS CAMPAIGN FUND FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Citizens Campaign Fund for the Environment (the charitable fund of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, often called CCE/CCFE) is a long‑running, donor‑facing environmental nonprofit based in Farmingdale, NY. The organization focuses on water protection, public health and toxics, open space and wildlife habitat, and climate and energy policy while operating regional offices across New York and outreach into Connecticut. The EIN (11-2983418) provided for this profile matches public nonprofit records and the charity’s own filings; the organization publishes annual reports and recent IRS Form 990s and actively solicits public support. In the last 2–3 years CCE/CCFE has run public education and policy campaigns on PFAS/“forever chemicals,” advanced offshore wind and clean‑energy organizing, and secured grants to expand environmental justice and youth education work in Long Island Sound communities.
