Overview

Mission

Public Education Surrounding Clean Energy

What it reported doing in 2022

The organization's mission was essentially complete at 12 31 2021. The organization incurred minor expenses in winding down operations in the first quarter of 2022.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
