About Us
Conservation Council of NC Foundation (CCNCF) knows that protecting North Carolina’s environment starts with North Carolinians…
CCNCF is dedicated to building the capacity of North Carolina’s environmental community to advance sound environmental policies. CCNCF fosters cooperation among environmental groups by arming them with the tools to inform and mobilize their members as a more potent force in North Carolina’s political landscape through non-partisan civic engagement work. We support more strategic direct advocacy efforts at the General Assembly through the NC Common Agenda: Priorities for the Environment. We work to educate and engage state agencies, elected officials, and the public on key environmental issues. We mobilize North Carolina voters because we know that voting is one of the most important things we can do for the environment.

- We provide environmental groups with tools and technology to educate and activate their members effectively,
