What it reported doing in 2024

Climate change resources is organized into six main sections: news: a roundup of the week's best reporting. Find out what people are talking about. Sign up for a weekly newsletter. Learn more: backgrounders on politics, energy, laws & litigation, science, food, climate justice, health, biden's climate plans, and more. Take action: join events, sort out your possibilities for action (whether individual or business), and reform your shopping habits to reduce, reuse and recycle more effectively. Youth: dedicated to the segment of the population that will inherit the earth, and highlighting all they are already doing to make a difference whether under or over twelve. Resources: this is where the curated research lives. Find the best books, films & podcasts, the most important organizations & reports, critical information on jobs, education, and more. Faqs: answers to the most frequently asked questions about the climate crisis, always linking to deeper dives.

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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
