About ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE COUNCIL

Environmental Resource Council (ERC) is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1973 that provides educational materials and guidance on environmental health, school safety, pesticide best practices, youth risk topics, and related community issues. ERC produces practical, school- and community-focused resources (for example: pesticide-safety materials, guidance on cannabis risk for youth, and guidance for post-COVID school operations) and supports local projects through grantmaking and charitable disbursements. The organization files federal Form 990-PF returns and shows recent grantmaking and financial activity; note that while some directory listings place the group in Elk River, MN, the organization’s own site lists an Anoka, MN address and its filings are associated with EIN 41-1238525 — the profile below reflects the organization verified by that EIN and its public filings and website.
