Environmental organizations are trying to make it easy for donors to spread campaign cash among green-minded candidates this election cycle.

LCV Victory Fund and NRDC Action Votes on Thursday announced the launch of a new online donor platform the groups hope will help propel environmental champions into state and federal offices across the country.

The groups’ new website is an update to the GiveGreen campaign that environmental organizations have used in past elections to funnel donations toward their favored candidates.
