The Science & Environmental Health Network is pleased to announce that we have been selected for inclusion in the New Progressive Coalition's "Energy Independence & the Environment" Political "Mutual Fund." Political "Mutual Funds" are actively-managed portfolios consisting of stellar organizations working in the areas of health care, energy independence & the environment, and victory 2008 & beyond. SEHN was selected from 120 organizations to be one of 11 organizations included in NPC's "Energy Independence & the Environment" Fund. As part of the selection process, SEHN went through an intensive analysis and 3rd-party verification. All organizations chosen for the funds were analyzed through NPC's proprietary Political Return on Investment (PROI)™ methodology, which helps contributors understand the impact of their giving.
