NRDC Action Votes and LCV Victory Fund Announce Over $11 Million Raised Through GiveGreen for Climate Candidates

Feb 23, 2026

Washington, D.C. — NRDC Action Votes and the LCV Victory Fund (LCVVF) announced today over $11 million raised so far in the 2026 midterm cycle — ahead of the 2022 cycle — through GiveGreen, the political fundraising program focused on electing pro-environment candidates to public office. 

“Our supporters know the stakes for our climate and our right to free and fair elections have never been higher. Donald Trump and his allies in Congress continue to undermine the health and safety of our communities and ban clean energy which is raising costs for families — all to give even more handouts to Big Polluters,” said LCV Vice President, Give Green Erica Slates. “Communities across the country are seeing the impacts of Republicans’ affordability crisis through skyrocketing energy bills and funding cuts to critical energy and climate projects. The contrast between the pro-climate, pro-democracy champions we are supporting on GiveGreen and candidates who cater to Big Oil could not be more clear, and we’re all in to support the candidates who can flip Congress, key legislatures, statewide offices and more this year.”

“We’re going to win this election because Americans are tired of government by and for billionaires,” said NRDC Action Votes Managing Director Jed Ober. “GiveGreen donors are stepping up to support candidates who are fighting back against the idea that oil and gas CEOs or tech titans are the only ones who should have a say in America’s energy policies. That approach has driven up electric bills, killed good-paying renewable energy jobs, slashed clean energy manufacturing, and worsened energy supply issues. We’re going to make sure voters understand how these dumb policies are hurting them and their families.”

Since its inception in the 2010 electoral cycle, donors have raised and contributed over $180 million to help elect more than 1,400+ pro-environment candidates listed on the platform. GiveGreen is jointly managed by LCV Victory Fund and NRDC Action Votes, with over 50,000 donors who have committed to raising and contributing funds for environmental champions up and down the ballot.
