10 Years of State League Growth

 Contact a State LCV

	2007 Union of the Federation and LCV The Federation and LCV merge so that our combined efforts will advance a powerful, offensive strategy to move America forward in tackling global warming, energy security and environmental priorities.
	2006 The Powerful League Network The combined budgets of the league network total over $27 million.  LCV and state leagues spend approximately $7.5 million helping to elect pro-conservation leadership in Congress and 1,200 candidates for state and local office.
	2004 Huge Conservation Victories Won State leagues have a very successful election cycle in 2004, spending a combined $16 million during the 2004 cycle.  Huge environmental victories are won -- numerous ballot measures are passed and pro-conservation candidates are elected throughout the country.
	2004 Membership and Influence Grow In 1997 there were no more than 10 state LCVs. In 2004, there are 31 state leagues.  Combined, state leagues spend almost 16 million dollars in their c3, c4 and PAC budgets.
	2000 Campaign Fund Raising Twenty-two state leagues are able to raise and spend $1.7 million on election campaigns in 2000.  Roughly half of this money is from leagues that did not exist before 1998 or had never had significantly funded election campaigns.
	2000 Grants Awarded In 2000, we award over $820,000 in grants to the state leagues.  This is a third more than we awarded in 1999 ($586,000) and seven times more than in 1998 ($112,000)!
	1999 Multi-state Success We have a very succesful year in 1999, working with 28 states, including: AL, AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, ID, ME, MD, MN, MT, PA, NV, NY, NM, NC, OH, OR, SC, TX, TN, VT, VA and WA.
	1997 Federation Founded The Federation of State Conservation Voter Leagues is officially founded during the annual conference held in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 18th and 19th.
