Atlantic States Legal Foundation

Atlantic States Legal Foundation, Inc. (ASLF) is a New York chartered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation founded in 1982. Our mission is to develop and promotes innovative and practical ways to preserve the environment, green the urban core, and protect water resources. ASLF builds bridges between communities, technical experts, and government to advocate for systemic improvements in environmental management, policy making, and public engagement. We are creative problem solvers working to advance environmental sanity through the implementation of projects that, in addition to their intrinsic merit, can be prototypes for similar efforts elsewhere by ourselves and others.

ASLF has been involved in a vast spectrum of projects dealing with environmental conservation and stewardship, urban revitalization through green design, public health, water resources, and large-scale collaborative efforts to solve complex multifaceted urban ecological problems. We view ourselves as facilitators of collective impact, in that our management expertise allows for efficient and effective coordinated efforts between the diverse sets of community actors and stakeholders with whom we work. Our proposed projects have received funding and contracts from a number of sources ranging from citizen groups and private foundations to government on all levels, and we have successfully executed complex projects locally, nationally, and internationally, working with a wide range of clients and partners.
