The Accelerator uses a collective impact approach, because it aligns with our commitment to equity and inclusive, collaborative processes. The Accelerator has convened a steering committee for this initiative, made up of key decision-makers and "lived experience experts" from a wide range of sectors, including government, business, health, housing, transportation, and agriculture. (Continued on Schedule O)This steering committee worked with consultants from the Stockholm Environment Institute to develop the Genesee-FLX Climate Action Strategy, and is now developing a shared measurement system to assess progress toward achieving the strategy's goals. The steering committee and issue-based working groups coordinate mutually reinforcing activities to implement the strategy and reduce redundancies, break down silos, and maximize the efficient use of resources.The goal of this work is to move our region quickly towards carbon neutrality and end our dependence on fossil fuels, as required by New York State's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. In addition to mitigating climate change, the systems-level solutions identified in the Genesee-FLX Climate Action Strategy will enhance the quality of life for our region's residents in a variety of ways, such as improved public health, energy affordability, opportunities for green job development, sustainable transportation options, access to public greenspace, neighborhood stability/resilience, and home comfort.The Accelerator is mobilizing climate action across the nine-county region through our Color Your Community Green (CYCG) initiative. CYCG is a volunteer-driven initiative that connects and organizes concerned individuals, by municipality or neighborhood, to form a network of climate-focused citizen action teams that (1) identify locally-relevant, high-impact climate solutions and develop implementation strategies using the CYCG "Toolkit, and (2) advocate for environmental justice and equitable climate solutions to be implemented at the municipal level and in schools. 885191 2216 Finger Lakes Regional Clean Energy Hub (AMPED)/Color Your Organization Green:The Finger Lakes Clean Energy Hub (AMPED) is a NYSERDA-funded initiative to ensure that historically underserved communities and populations participate in and benefit from the transition to clean energy. The Hub's services currently include residential and commercial energy advisement, referrals to vetted contractors, and community education and outreach-in collaboration with community partners-to promote beneficial electrification and encourage residents and organizational leaders to electrify their homes, buildings and vehicles. (Continued on Schedule O)Color Your Organization Green (CYOG) is a year-long course, during which participating organizations form internal "Green Teams and through monthly guided learning sessions have the opportunity to develop a Climate Action Plan for their organization. During the course, participants 1) develop an understanding of the obstacles and opportunities that climate change poses for our region, through an intersectional, equity-focused lens; 2) identify how they currently contribute to the climate crisis, and corresponding quick wins and high-impact solutions that will mitigate their impact; 3) create a strategy and vision to guide their organization in addressing the climate crisis over the long term; 4) connect to relevant resources and a network of like-minded organizations; and 5) begin moving toward their vision, implementing strategy, and measuring progress. 1475319 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 19 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NY X X The Organization 5854611023 758 South Avenue 4 Rochester NY 14620 Akilah Banister Chair (Through 12/24)/Director 0.90 X X 0 0 0 Jamila Smith Director (Starting 01/25) 0.90 X 0 0 0 Sarah Mittiga Director (Through 12/24) 0.50 X 0 0 0 Chris Carpenter Director (Starting 01/25) 0.90 X 0 0 0 Katie Rygg Director (Starting 01/25) 1.90 X 0 0 0 Sara Stockwell Vice Chair (Through 12/24) 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Valerie Lou Director (Through 12/24) 0.40 X 0 0 0 Shannon Ealy Director/Vice Chair (Starting 01/25) 0.90 X X 0 0 0 David Beinetti Director/Secretary (Starting 01/25) 1.90 X X 0 0 0 Mark Stone Director (Starting 01/25) 1.20 X 0 0 0 Janielle Crocker Director 0.90 X 0 0 0 Niraj Lama Director 0.90 X 0 0 0 Deepa Premnath Secretary (Through 12/24)/Director 0.90 X X 0 0 0 Kyle Rosenthal Treasurer 1.90 X X 0 0 0 Tracy Schleyer Director/Chair (Starting 01/25) 1.40 X X 0 0 0 Jane van Dis Director (Starting 01/25) 0.90 X 0 0 0 Alyssa Horng Director (Starting 01/25) 0.50 X 0 0 0 Abigail McHugh-Grifa PhD Executive Director 37.00 X 68576 0 1754 68576 0 1754 0 0 0 0 0 1009352 584712 1594064 Events/Training Fees a 900099 10004 10004 10004 1990 1990 1606058 10004 0 1990 X 70697 35349 14139 21209 1095231 812849 157792 124590 34696 25571 5040 4085 53407 38951 7854 6602 87488 63677 12894 10917 275 275 10905 10905 378356 361214 15242 1900 10498 10498 19530 9545 3716 6269 13414 9763 1977 1674 53962 49999 2146 1817 14225 5987 7212 1026 Staff Development 39554 18390 21164 Bad Debt 38472 38472 37039 33526 3513 1957749 1475319 302341 180089 54393 115869 175 175 464161 200000 117902 124196 2310 727 638941 440967 33202 164294 27375 50000 60577 214294 X 102699 -59254 475665 285927 578364 226673 638941 440967 -351691 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 479291 668361 1728963 1186314 1594064 5656993 479291 668361 1728963 1186314 1594064 5656993 990647 4666346 2790 3440 4109 1990 12329 1215 3577 4792 5674114 86633 0.82240 0.75110 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Other Income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 6557 1 1791 0 8348 0 Part II-B, Line 1: Communicated with New York State Governor, New York State Representatives and New York state legislature regarding energy efficient jobs, All Electric Buildings Act, Gas Transition Bill, Fossil Fuel Subsidy Elimination Act, Climate and Community Investment Act, and Transportation and Climate initiatives.
