PIRGIM Education Fund's Mission
With public debate around important issues often dominated by special interests pursuing their own narrow agendas, the Public Interest Research Group In Michigan (PIRGIM) Education Fund offers an independent and articulate voice on behalf of the public interest.

PIRGIM Education Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization, works to promote environmental defense, consumer protection and responsive government in Michigan. We investigate problems, craft solutions, and offer citizens meaningful opportunities for civic participation. PIRGIM Education Fund has been a leader on key environmental and public interest issues, working to protect our waterways and air, promote energy efficiency, protect consumers against rip-offs, and minimize the influence of special interest money in politics.

PIRGIM Education Fund works closely with PIRGIM, a 501(c)(4) organization that offers a unique blend of political strategists and policy experts backed by a professional field operation.
