 About CHEJ > Financial Information
Financial Information
The Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ) is a charitable organization classified as tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code as described in 509(a)(1) and 170(1)(A)(vi). All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
CHEJ does not accept grants from polluting corporations or government agencies. Three quarters of CHEJ’s revenue comes from approximately twenty foundation grants per year. The generous financial support that CHEJ receives from foundations and individuals is critical to our ability to maintain an independent voice.
This is why we are proud of the fact that 94 cents of every dollar raised is spent to advance CHEJ’s mission: empowering communities to eliminate dangerous chemicals from their neighborhoods, schools and towns.
CHEJ is committed to employing the highest standards of excellence and accountability in the pursuit of our mission. The Board of Directors is focused on results and conducts periodic comprehensive evaluations of our programs, measuring them carefully against our stated goals.
