About Us: GCCM Owned By Non-Profit Advocacy Groups
At Green Century Capital Management (GCCM), concern for the environment
is not just something we do, it's who we are. GCCM, founded in 1991, is
wholly owned by non-profit advocacy groups.
100%
of the profits earned by GCCM on the fees it receives for managing the
Funds belong to its non-profit advocacy group owners, and are available
for use in efforts to support clean air, clean water and open spaces.
The organizations that own Green Century Capital Management are:
California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG), Citizen Lobby of
New Jersey, Colorado Public Interest Research Group (COPIRG), ConnPIRG
Citizen Lobby, Fund for Public Interest Research, Massachusetts Public
Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG), MOPIRG Citizen Organization, PIRGIM
Public Interest Lobby, and Washington State Public Interest Research
Group (WASHPIRG).
Several of GCCM's owners are part of a group of non-profits generally
referred to as the "State PIRGs." The State PIRGs are a national
network of state-based non-partisan, non-profit organizations that
advocate for the public interest. When the environment is being
threatened, consumers are being mistreated, and our democracy is
potentially being corrupted, the State PIRGs speak out and work to make
change happen. Using time-tested strategies of research, lobbying,
organizing and outreach, the PIRGs have won significant victories over
the past three decades.
30 Years of Action in the Public Interest
Founded by students around the country in the early 1970's, the State
PIRGs have grown into some of the leading public interest organizations
in the country. Click below for more information on a few select
examples of how GCCM's owners are making a difference for the
environment.
