Overview

Mission

1 legislation to limit the production and storage of nuclear waste on californias vulnerable earthquake active coastal zones 2 advocate for the replacement of nuclear fueled power plants with alternative renewable sustainable and conservation energy sources 3 educate California residents on proposed legislation to address high level radioactive waste build-up on californias coast 4 educate legislators and oversight agencies on pitfalls of funding nuclear power under current state agreements.

What it reported doing in 2024

Participated in committee hearings and independently consulted the California State Senate and Assembly in proposing and negotiating for the removal of excessive state loan disbursements with unpredictable repayment to support aging nuclear reactor operation from the deficit-ridden state budget. As proposed by A4NR these items were removed from the legislative budget proposal which would have saved taxpayers at least $400 million.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The available information about grant readiness state registration leaves an important question unanswered.

Key Signals

Signals prioritize questions for review. They are not findings of misconduct.

Grant-readiness screening is separate from the live rating, not a measure of program quality. Review the source records before making a grant decision.

  • Review — Grant Readiness: California registration: this organization could not be resolved against the register, so the check is unfinished.
