1The Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania (EFP)
inspires positive change by funding environmental
stewardship programs, publicizing stories of
people who care for the environment, and giving
the public ways to get involved.
2Founded in 1991, the non-profit EFP was formed to
support environmental organizations with funding
through workplace giving campaigns throughout
Pennsylvania. In 1997, EFP started using video
communications tools to tell the stories of
people touched by these organizations, and
encourage others to do the same.
3Today, EFP is a renowned multi-media
communications and support organization, with
programs that create positive environmental
change through television, video, Internet,
print, and community action. Our programs reach
people of all ages and walks of life, with the
message that we can protect our health and
quality of life by protecting our water, air, and
land.
