| Desc | GOODUSE: FOR OVER 13 YEARS, OUR GOODUSE PROGRAM HAS PARTNERED WITH OVER 300 NONPROFITS IN 27 STATES TO HELP THEM SAVE OVER 16.2 MILLION IN UTILITY COSTS WHILE REDUCING THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. USING TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND CONSULTATIVE AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE, AND WITH THE LEVERAGE OF MATCHING GRANT SUPPORT, WE UNCOVER AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT WITHIN FACILITIES TO INCREASE RESOURCE EFFICIENCY. IMPORTANTLY, THE PROGRAM HAS REDUCED CO2 EMISSIONS BY OVER 89,000 METRIC TONS AND SAVED OVER 99 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER AND MORE THAN 131 MILLION KWH IN ELECTRICITY SINCE ITS INCEPTION. IN FACT, OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS SEE AN AVERAGE REDUCTION OF 30% IN UTILITY COSTS. THESE SAVINGS ARE REINVESTED IN THEIR MISSION-CRITICAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, SAVINGS ACHIEVED BY PARTICIPATING BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS AND FOOD BANKS ARE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO POSITIVELY IMPACT OVER 7000 CHILDREN AND SERVE AN ADDITIONAL 1.7 MILLION MEALS TO PERSONS IN NEED. BUILDING ON OVER A DECADE OF SUCCESS, SOUTHFACE INSTITUTE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR IMPACT THROUGH THE GOODUSE PROGRAM - INCREASING RESOURCE EFFICIENCY THROUGH DELIVERING CONSULTATIVE TECHNICAL SERVICES AND MATCHING GRANTS TO NONPROFITS SERVING OUR COMMUNITIES AROUND THE NATION. IN 2020, WE ALSO LAUNCHED A PILOT TO LEVERAGE A GROUNDBREAKING FINANCING MECHANISM CALLED A SOLAR ENERGY PURCHASE AGREEMENT (SEPA) TO HELP THE SAE SCHOOL IN SOUTHWEST ATLANTA BECOME THE FIRST NET ZERO SCHOOL IN GEORGIA. | Desc |

| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, SOUTHFACE INSTITUTE, A NONPROFIT 501(C)3 ORGANIZATION, HAS BEEN A LEADER IN THE RESEARCH, DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A REGENERATIVE ECONOMY, ONE THAT GIVES BACK MORE THAN IT USES. SOUTHFACE WORKS IN COLLABORATION WITH A NETWORK OF PARTNER NONPROFITS, BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, UNIVERSITIES AND TECHNICAL EXPERTS TO IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABLE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND SCALABLE SOLUTIONS IN HOMES, WORKPLACES AND COMMUNITIES. OUR THREE OVERARCHING GOALS INCLUDE: 1) ACHIEVING CLIMATE MITIGATION AND RESILIENCE AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE BUILT AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS; 2) INCREASING HEALTH AND EQUITY THROUGH IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT; AND 3) BUILDING THE KNOWLEDGE BASE AND WORKFORCE TO CATALYZE THE TRANSITION TO A REGENERATIVE ECONOMY. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | GOODUSE: FOR OVER 13 YEARS, OUR GOODUSE PROGRAM HAS PARTNERED WITH OVER 300 NONPROFITS IN 27 STATES TO HELP THEM SAVE OVER 16.2 MILLION IN UTILITY COSTS WHILE REDUCING THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. USING TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND CONSULTATIVE AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE, AND WITH THE LEVERAGE OF MATCHING GRANT SUPPORT, WE UNCOVER AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT WITHIN FACILITIES TO INCREASE RESOURCE EFFICIENCY. IMPORTANTLY, THE PROGRAM HAS REDUCED CO2 EMISSIONS BY OVER 89,000 METRIC TONS AND SAVED OVER 99 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER AND MORE THAN 131 MILLION KWH IN ELECTRICITY SINCE ITS INCEPTION. IN FACT, OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS SEE AN AVERAGE REDUCTION OF 30% IN UTILITY COSTS. THESE SAVINGS ARE REINVESTED IN THEIR MISSION-CRITICAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, SAVINGS ACHIEVED BY PARTICIPATING BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS AND FOOD BANKS ARE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO POSITIVELY IMPACT OVER 7000 CHILDREN AND SERVE AN ADDITIONAL 1.7 MILLION MEALS TO PERSONS IN NEED. BUILDING ON OVER A DECADE OF SUCCESS, SOUTHFACE INSTITUTE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR IMPACT THROUGH THE GOODUSE PROGRAM - INCREASING RESOURCE EFFICIENCY THROUGH DELIVERING CONSULTATIVE TECHNICAL SERVICES AND MATCHING GRANTS TO NONPROFITS SERVING OUR COMMUNITIES AROUND THE NATION. IN 2020, WE ALSO LAUNCHED A PILOT TO LEVERAGE A GROUNDBREAKING FINANCING MECHANISM CALLED A SOLAR ENERGY PURCHASE AGREEMENT (SEPA) TO HELP THE SAE SCHOOL IN SOUTHWEST ATLANTA BECOME THE FIRST NET ZERO SCHOOL IN GEORGIA. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | EQUITABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL: OUR POLICY ADVOCACY TEAM SEEKS TO ADVANCE STATE AND LOCAL POLICIES THAT PROPEL THE CLEAN-ENERGY AND RESOURCE EFFICIENCY MOVEMENT FORWARD, AND THEN DEMONSTRATE THE POWER OF THOSE SOLUTIONS THROUGH STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERSHIPS WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE STAKEHOLDERS. WELL-DESIGNED POLICY CAN TRANSFORM THE MARKET FOR A CLEAN-ENERGY ECONOMY, AND WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS TO INFLUENCE DATA-DRIVEN, RIGOROUS APPROACHES TO ACHIEVE A LOW-CARBON FUTURE. WE FOCUS ON THREE KEY AREAS OF INFORMED STATE AND LOCAL POLICY TO LEVERAGE THE MOST IMPACT: 1) SPEED THE TRANSITION TO A REGENERATIVE ECONOMY BY ADVOCATING FOR AND SUPPORTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EQUITABLE STATE AND LOCAL POLICIES AND COMMITMENTS TO CLEAN ENERGY AND RESOURCE EFFICIENCY; 2) EXPAND UTILITY-LED CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMENT AND REMOVE MARKET BARRIERS TO DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES, WORKING TO ENSURE HIGH ENERGY BURDENED, LMI, AND BIPOC COMMUNITIES ARE PRIORITIZED FOR EQUITABLE ACCESS AND PARTICIPATION; AND 3) INCREASE THE SCOPE, FINANCING AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CLIMATE RESILIENCE EFFORTS AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL, PRIORITIZING UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AT GREATEST RISKS FROM CLIMATE IMPACTS AS A KEY FOCUS OF OUR POLICY WORK, WE HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS ADVOCATING FOR INCLUSION OF CLIMATE AND EQUITY OUTCOMES IN QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PLANS (QAPS) ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST, WHICH DETERMINE TAX CREDIT ALLOWANCES FOR LOW-INCOME HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS. SOME OF OUR RECENT SUCCESSES INCLUDE: 1) ORIGINALLY PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL, SOUTHFACE AND OUR PARTNERS SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED TO RETAIN GREEN CERTIFICATIONS IN GEORGIA'S QAP THIS YEAR; 2) OUR ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION EFFORTS SUCCEEDED IN GENERATING NEW INTEREST IN GREEN CERTIFICATIONS IN ALABAMA, WHICH WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION IN THEIR 2022 QAP PROCESS; AND 3) WE SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCED EARTHCRAFT, SOUTHFACE'S FIRST-TO-MARKET GREEN BUILDING STANDARD, AS AN ACCEPTED GREEN CERTIFICATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA'S QAP. SOUTHFACE BUILDS MORE EQUITABLE, RESILIENT COMMUNITIES, WORKING WITH MUNICIPALITIES AND VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES TO CREATE SUSTAINABILITY AND BUILD RESILIENCY BY PROMOTING RESOURCE-EFFICIENT AND EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES AND REGENERATIVE DESIGN INITIATIVES. PROGRAMS SUCH AS CCPRP (CARE AND CONSERVE PLUMBING REPAIR PROGRAM) REACH DIRECTLY INTO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES TO HELP WITH STORMWATER ISSUES AND MUNICIPAL WATER EFFICIENCY CHALLENGES, RESPECTIVELY. SOUTHFACE IS ALSO A LOCAL PARTNER OF THE CITY OF ATLANTA IN THE AMERICAN CITIES CLIMATE CHALLENGE, AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY FOR 25 AMBITIOUS CITIES TO SIGNIFICANTLY DEEPEN AND ACCELERATE THEIR EFFORTS TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE AND PROMOTE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR THEIR RESIDENTS. |
