Your generosity fuels the critical work of creating lasting change in Pennsylvania communities. For your convenience, Conservation Voters of PA offers donors several ways to direct their donations depending on funding preferences:
- 501(c)(4) donations to CVPA allow you to back a wide range of advocacy efforts, from voter education to lobbying, while also offering donor privacy.
- PAC donations to CVPA Action Fund provide a clear, direct way to influence elections, ensuring your resources support or oppose specific candidates.
- SuperPAC donations to CVPA Victory Fund power large‑scale, fully independent voter‑persuasion programs — unlimited gifts that fund data‑driven ads, canvassing, and turnout efforts in Pennsylvania’s most consequential electoral contests.
Ultimately, your choice on how and where to direct your giving depends on the breadth of advocacy activities you want to fund, how visible you want your support to be, and whether or not you require tax deductibility. We recommend consulting your financial advisor to help determine which form of giving best aligns with your philanthropic goals.
Why 501(c)(4) Giving Matters
Gifts to Conservation Voters of PA, our 501(c)(4) advocacy organization, support year-round issue education, grassroots organizing, and policy advocacy at the local, state, and federal levels. Because contributions are not disclosed publicly, giving to 501(c)(4) organizations may be a preferred option for donors who value privacy in their philanthropy.
A contribution to Conservation Voters of PA may be right for you if:
- You want to fund both a wider range of activities: A 501(c)(4) can engage in lobbying, advocacy, and select election-related work, offering flexibility in how your gift is used.
- You prefer privacy: 501(c)(4) contributions are not publicly disclosed, allowing donors to retain anonymity, if desired.
- Tax deductibility is not a priority: Gifts to 501(c)(4) organizations do not qualify for a charitable tax deduction.
- You do not plan to use an employer matching gift program: Most corporate matching programs will not match donations to 501(c)(4) organizations.

Why PAC Giving Matters
Help elect environmental champions
Contributing to CVPA Action Fund, our 527 Political Action Committee (PAC), strengthens your voice in the political arena by helping elect pro-environment and pro-democracy candidates to state office in Pennsylvania. PAC gifts can have an immediate impact on the outcome of elections, helping shape the balance of power in Harrisburg and in communities across the state — and by extension, the environmental policies most important to you.
A contribution to CVPA Action Fund, may be right for you if:
- You want to maximize your electoral influence: Gifts to CVPA Action Fund directly support electing candidates who align with our mission. PAC contributions are one of the most effective ways to influence key races and help elect leaders who share our values.
- You are comfortable with public disclosure: State regulations require that PAC donations be reported, making your support a matter of public record.
- Tax deductibility is not a priority: PAC donations are not tax-deductible, so if you do not need a charitable deduction, this may be a strong choice.
- You do not plan to use an employer matching gift program: Most corporate matching gift programs only match gifts to 501(c)(3) organizations, so gifts to CVPA Action Fund would likely not be eligible.
CVPA Action Fund’s EIN is 27-3122230.
Why SuperPAC Giving Matters
Help fund outreach to voters
Contributions to Conservation Voters of PA Victory Fund, our state‑level SuperPAC or independent‑expenditure committee (IEC), turbocharge pro‑environment electoral work across Pennsylvania. Because SuperPACs can raise and spend unlimited sums independent of candidates, your gift fuels large‑scale voter persuasion and turnout programs that complement, but never coordinate with, campaign operations.
Every dollar helps fund the high‑impact tactics — door‑to‑door canvassing, digital and TV ads, direct mail, phones, and texting — that move decisive blocks of voters in PA’s most competitive races. By investing in CVPA Victory Fund, you help set the narrative, expand the electorate, and elect champions who will act on climate and protect our democracy.
Benefits of Contributing to CVPA Victory Fund
A contribution to our SuperPAC may be right for you or your institution if:
- You want the greatest electoral flexibility: SuperPAC gifts face no contribution limits, allowing individuals, foundations, corporations, unions, 501(c)(4)s, and other PACs to invest at whatever scale the moment demands.
- You’re comfortable with transparency: Pennsylvania law requires public disclosure of SuperPAC donors and expenditures.
- Tax deductibility is not a priority: Like other political gifts, SuperPAC contributions are not tax‑deductible.
- You want independent impact: Funds are deployed entirely separate from candidates or party committees, ensuring strategic, data‑driven programs laser‑focused on persuasion and turnout where they matter most.
- You want to leverage institutional resources: Many supporters are issued‑aligned institutions or organizations looking to amplify their policy priorities through high‑return electoral work.
Our SuperPAC’s EIN is 83-1360331.
