What Nonprofit Is Reaching Half of Congress?

By Daniel Bresette | President

“Are we making a difference?” A tough question, even when there is not so much bad news swirling around. What separates an answer from a convincing answer comes down to this: data.

Enter our Congressional engagement dashboard, which organizes all 535-plus Congressional offices based on how often they call on EESI for nonpartisan, science-based information about climate, clean energy, and environmental topics. 

As you might already know, staff working in about 85% of Congressional offices had either attended a briefing, subscribed to a newsletter, downloaded a fact sheet, or otherwise made use of one of our resources by the end of 2024. That is the highest number we have ever achieved!  

We just updated our dashboard through April 30 for the new Congress. A snapshot of our results is featured in this report so you can see what your commitment to climate solutions is making possible.

Thanks to your partnership, we are already reaching almost half of Congressional offices in just the first four months of this year. Pretty good, given the current political environment. 

But Washington is a “what-have-you-done-for-me lately” kind of town. So there will be no resting on any laurels. We have much more to do.  

Despite all the chaos and uncertainty facing climate policy, our dashboard shows that, yes, we are reaching Congress. Together we are making a difference.

Thanks for continuing to prioritize this work in your philanthropy.
