Fresh Energy members are asking you to join them in advancing smart energy policy at this critical time in our society’s history.

Fresh Energy is among the top organizations moving energy policy. Our members recognize how effective we are, and so do 178 local experts. Philanthropedia, a national philanthropic research organization, recently released results based on a survey of local environmental experts to rate nonprofits in terms of their positive impact. Fresh Energy ranked 4th among 124 organizations.

Energy is among the most serious issues facing the world today. The deleterious effects of America's dependence on fossil fuels are seen in our foreign policy, our trade imbalance, our financing of both sides of the international jihadi movement, in the impacts of Gulf oil spills, our economic security, and the global environmental crisis of climate change. We can minimize, mitigate, and reverse all of these dangers with smart public policy.

Join Fresh Energy—an honest and trusted voice in the Midwest—to separate fact from fiction and help decision makers understand the technical and scientific issues to advance smart energy policy.

    I am proud to be a donor and supporter of Fresh Energy. All the staff, the board, the volunteers and donors are deeply committed to a vision of a world that works for all; an energy and transportation system that frees us from our dependence on fossil fuels is at the core of that common vision. I believe in Fresh Energy and its people.

    Whenever I talk to people about Fresh Energy, I hear the words "smart" and "effective." I know my money is well spent on when staff and board are solidly focused on something they do so well. Flo Golod

    I have never known of a more effective organization than Fresh Energy, and believe that creating a fair, efficient, and clean energy system is one of the most important challenges of our time. Fresh energy is working hard to protect the climate for my new baby boy, and for all of us.

    The safety and health of our future generations depends on good climate policy being passed in Copenhagen and in the U.S. Not only for the air we all breathe and the water we all drink, but for the jobs our kids want to study and strive for. If we stick in a fossil fuel economy, we're essentially telling our kids and grandkids, "sorry, kid, you're on your own." That's why the work Fresh Energy does is so important.

    As a parent, I feel responsible for trying to leave a better world for my daughter. Fresh Energy, with its focus on energy policy and solutions, is definately a great investment in healthy communities, healthy economies and a better world.

    The heart of the global warming problem is the way we produce and use energy -- and Fresh Energy's the only organization in the Midwest focused solely on changing energy laws. Supporting Fresh Energy is a smart investment in the planet's future.

    I donated to Fresh Energy Minnesota because this is a critical time to insure the future of the planet by working towards energy independence and a cleaner environment.
