Overview
Mission
The climate project's mission was to educate the public about the harmful effects of climate change and to work toward solutions at the grassroots level through our volunteer presenters. It did so by convening and administering training programs to selected trainees who will ultimately serve as volunteer presenters and organize educational seminars throughout the united states to present information on global climate change and work toward solutions at the grass roots level. The climate project provided each of its trainees with training material, access to the slide show compiled by mr. Al gore (on which the movie an inconvenient truth is based), and on-going support and updated scientific and related information and materials.
What it reported doing in 2011
The climate project terminated at the end of 2011 by donating remaining assets to the alliance for climate protection, an organization with a similar mission, services and activities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
