Overview

Mission

The snake river alliance serves as Idaho's nuclear watchdog and clean energy champion by inspiring, educating, and advocating for and with idahoans.

What it reported doing in 2025

General program - expanded our base through earth day, trinity day, and hiroshima vigil outreach in pocatello and boise. Helped lead a coalition that successfully pressured the Idaho puc to approve improved net-metering rules, partially defeating the utility-backed proposal. Partnered with seipa to advance property owners' rights and responsible solar siting, working to repeal bannock county's solar ban and prevent more bans across Idaho. Completed an organizational renewal and adopted a new three-year strategic plan to guide future growth.

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. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
