Green group raises $3 million for campaign contributions
The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund said it has raised more than $3 million to donate to candidates in this election cycle as parts of its GiveGreen program.
The program aims to support through campaign contributions federal and state candidates who have shown dedication to environmental causes, the LCV said. The Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund PAC helps fund GiveGreen as an alliance between the groups.

The groups set a goal of raising $5 million for GiveGreen for the 2014 election. GiveGreen raised or contributed more than $2 million in 2012 and $1.3 million in 2010.
