Since 1975, the Illinois Environmental Council (IEC) has worked to safeguard Illinois— its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends by building power for people and the environment. Representing over 130 environmental organizations operating in Illinois, IEC carries out its mission to advance equitable public policies that create healthy environments across Illinois through collaboration, building power, and advocacy.
IEC coordinates our affiliate member organizations to share resources, mobilize supporters, and respond quickly to the most pressing issues facing the environment in Illinois. From building consensus around an annual environmental agenda to lobbying city, state, and federal decision-makers, IEC takes pride in leading our environmental movement in Illinois.
IEC is a 501(c)(4) organization, and donations are NOT tax-deductible. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation to the IEC Education Fund, click here.
Donations of $50 or more automatically qualify for a membership through the calendar year! IEC offers a special rate of $20/year for students and for those who feel they cannot make the $50 commitment. For more on our membership benefits, click here.
