To promote clean aviation fuel in america.

What it reported doing in 2025

Prepared and drafted fact sheets, infographics, one-pagers and press releases that were distributed through various communication channels, including emails, social media and targeted outreach. Recruited coalition members to help increase public awareness and build alignment across a cross- section of industries.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
