Overview

Mission

See Schedule O.

What it reported doing in 2024

In its second round of funding, the Air Quality Mitigation Fund (AQMF) awarded $2 million for a zero-emission public charging station for electric heavy-duty trucks. The station was launched at the Port of Long Beach, serving both Long Beach and Los Angeles ports. The program electrifies trucking operations and significantly reduces emissions, promoting zero-emission technology and improving air quality in the port areas.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 87% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
