What it reported doing in 2024

Climate impacts archive - the climate impacts archive is a current activity that documents the development of the science of climate change impacts. Consisting of research materials, conference proceedings, and media items beginning in the 1980s, it is for use by historians of science, journalists, as well as program evaluators. It covers the climate impacts on the agriculture and food, urban areas, and conservation and development sectors. Currently, it is housed in four storage units in New York city.

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 87% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
