Overview

Mission

EMF safety education and information

What it reported doing in 2024

ESA is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization that accomplishes its mission through Research Projects, Research Critiques, Public Policy Initiatives, Public Education and information, and Community Support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
