Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Environment New Jersey is a citizen-based environmental advocacy organization with offices in New Brunswick and Trenton, representing more than 20,000 members across the Garden State. We believe there’s something special about New Jersey — something worth protecting and preserving for future generations. Whether it’s relaxing at Cape May, watching wildlife in the Great Swamp, or hiking through the New Jersey Highlands, New Jersey’s natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways. Yet the places we love and the environmental values so many of us share are too often threatened by powerful industries, shortsighted politicians and more. Defending our environment requires independent research, tough-minded advocacy and spirited grassroots action. Funded by supporters like you, we research the challenges confronting our environment and educate the public about what’s at stake. Through our research reports, news conferences, interviews with reporters, op-ed pieces, letters to the editor and more, we raise awareness of environmental issues and promote sensible solutions. Our canvassers meet people where they are — in public places or door to door — raising awareness, recruiting new supporters and activists, and raising funds to support our work. When decisions are being made about our environment, our elected officials hear plenty from the oil companies, developers and other powerful interests. We make the case for our environment and help people like you make your voice heard, through petitions, emails, letters, phone calls and more, all delivered to the right people just when it matters most.
Target demographics: To protect our air, water and natural lands, transition to a clean energy economy, enforce our environmental laws and strengthen our protections to ensure a greener future.
Geographic areas served: All across the Garden State
Programs: Direct advocacy, public outreach and education, litigation and legislative action to protect, defend and enhance New Jersey's environment and the New Jersey public.
