Help Increase ELAW’s Impact: Giving Options
Since 1991, ELAW has collaborated with a network of lawyers working in their communities around the world. These advocates call on ELAW for legal, scientific, and economic tools and expertise; support to build strong organizations; and resources to increase their resilience and deter the threats they face due to their work defending human rights and the environment.
We have celebrated high-impact wins that have helped protect the climate, advance environmental justice, defend biodiversity, and raise community voices to chart a brighter future.
ELAW is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. ELAW’s Federal Tax ID or EIN is 94-3116602. You may take the appropriate charitable tax deduction for your gift.
Please help advance environmental justice and defend key ecosystems by donating online, mailing a check to our office, or contributing in one of the following ways.
Ways to Support ELAW
Steady support enables ELAW to respond rapidly, providing our partners with the necessary tools to win their cases and build strong organizations to defend the environment for many years to come. ELAW collaborates with a network of more than 400 public interest lawyers in 80 countries.
Your recurring gift supports our most pressing work, allowing ELAW to tailor services to the needs of advocates working with frontline communities to defend the environment through law.
Monthly gifts will be automatically charged to your credit card or deducted from your bank account on the designated date. We will send you electronic receipts for each gift as well as a summary receipt at the end of the year.
You may be able to increase the impact of your charitable giving by donating appreciated securities instead of cash. If your assets have appreciated in value, donating securities held for more than one year directly to a charity may allow you to increase the amount of your gift and increase your tax deduction. It is easy to donate securities — talk to your tax advisor to see if this makes sense for you!

I used Fidelity Charitable to find an organization that checks all the boxes for my annual giving. That is ELAW.
Legal action and boots-on-the-ground advocacy are the best tools for meaningful change. ELAW’s track record speaks for itself!– ELAW supporter Dianne Robertson, Eugene, OR.
