ABOUT THE CONGRESSIONAL ENERGY ENGAGEMENT FOUNDATION (CEEF)
​
501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization
CEEF is built on years of trusted, bipartisan relationships with Members of Congress—relationships that continue to open doors for meaningful conversations and lasting impact. You may have been in a “room of engagement” we quietly designed behind the scenes—curated opportunities that support the goals of others while connecting legislators with those shaping the future of energy.
​
We work alongside industry, national laboratories, organizations, global partners, and the Administration— bringing them together with Congress to foster informed dialogue, advance innovation, and strengthen U.S. energy leadership, with a focus on nuclear energy.
Much of our work complements and elevates the missions of others—but it is the confidence Members of Congress place in CEEF that makes us a trusted bridge to the organizations, institutions, and innovators that are driving change.
At US CEEF, we believe in empowering individuals to understand and contribute to the future of nuclear energy. We are committed to fostering a community where stakeholders can make a difference, shape the future, and drive positive change in the world.
Our Mission
