Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $5,449 spent. We embodied our ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion by including frontline communities of color in all of our work, and often directly supporting the participation of under-resourced groups and individuals in our activities with travel, food, and housing stipends so they can fully participate. In 2025 we were proud to work with a multiracial coalition to bring hundreds of partners together in Houston Texas for the CERA week conference in March. And we brought a large delegation of impacted community members from Texas, Louisiana, West Virginia, and North Carolina to Washington DC in September.
- $18,965 spent. We work to educate the public on environmental issues especially the climate crisis. In 2025 we sent more than 220,000 emails to our supporters generating more than 10,000 petition signatures, RSVPs for online and in person events, and letters to state, local, and federal officials.
- $48,609 spent. We continue to work at and at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) calling for action that blocks fossil fuel development, combats the climate crisis, and/or expands renewable energy. In 2025 we attended every monthly commissioners' meeting and brought several impacted community members with us as part of our UnFrack FERC and Fall of FERC campaigns. Our rallies and demonstrations are often artistic and theatrical, featuring art, performance, and song. All of our events are free for the public to attend and we provide meals, housing, and travel support costs to allow more people to join us.
