Mission

Our mission is to create financial pathways for solar project funding that are feasible for all communities, income levels, businesses and community organizations. We are doing this because all of us believe that climate change is a critical and immediate threat to our society and the future that the next generations will inherit. There are many solutions, but one is to reduce our global carbon footprint by using more solar energy, and that is something all three of us are familiar with. We want to achieve more solar installed in Virginia, more people knowledgeable about the ways to pay for solar, and a lessening of the energy burden for our disadvantaged communities. We want Virginia to be a leader in fighting climate change and also a leader in environmental and social justice.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
