The Story of PennFuture

Leading the fight against potential threats to PA's clean air, pure water, and healthy climate.

Since 1998, PennFuture has combined legislative advocacy and legal enforcement at the local, state, and federal levels, educational outreach, and civic engagement support for just and equitable environmental outcomes that improve the quality of life for all Pennsylvanians. 

History

Citizens for Pennsylvania’s Future (PennFuture) was created in 1998 as a statewide environmental advocacy organization. Since our founding, we have achieved significant legal and policy victories that reduce pollution and protect the environment. We have provided millions of dollars in pro bono legal services while setting critical precedents and enforcing environmental laws across the commonwealth.  
 
Our team is working daily to protect public health, restore and protect natural resources, and move Pennsylvania toward a clean energy future. With offices in Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Erie and Mt. Pocono, our team litigates cases before regulatory bodies and in local, state, and federal courts; advances legislative action on a state and federal level; provides public education; and assists Pennsylvanians in public advocacy.  
 
PennFuture has a long track record of precedent-setting victories and sound public policy, and we are committed to serving citizens and communities across Pennsylvania. Through education, outreach, and coalition building, we maximize our impact and elevate local voices. 

Join us as we improve Pennsylvania for future generations.
