Overview
Mission
The corporation is organized to update and maintain a solar-hydrogen system aimed at developing energy alternatives to fossil fuels used in farming operations.
What it reported doing in 2020
Maintenance, development, and display of a solar-hydrogensystem that generates hydrogen and ammonia to fuel a farmtractor and for use as a corn fertilizer.
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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
