Overview

Mission

350 Sacramento builds community and advocates for actions that will reduce pollution, protect our environment, and prioritize equitable, sustainable climate solutions for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Student Environmental Activism Training (SEAT) program trains youth in our community to enhance local capacity to respond to the climate issues we are facing today. The curriculum covers environmental science, approaches to social change, civics, activism, and personal empowermentskills and concepts not traditionally taught in schools.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
