Overview
Mission
Women Who Charge is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for and supporting global sustainability. We work to achieve this mission by encouraging the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Our efforts include providing community trainings, sharing information on equitable solutions for EV adoption, and promoting women innovators in the electric vehicle and charging industries. We are committed to fostering a more sustainable future through a fair and accessible transition to clean transportation.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our Public Outreach for Clean Transportation initiative, we engage with communities to raise awareness about the benefits of electric vehicles, share information on available incentives, and address common misconceptions. We focus on ensuring that historically underserved communities have access to the resources and information needed to participate in the clean transportation transition.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
