What Clean Power Campaign does
Mission
To encourage greater reliance upon clean and renewable energy resources.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
CPC Program Accomplishments for 2023:The Clean Power Campaign gives the public interest a seat at every table where important decisions are being made about energy. We believe policy matters. Public agencies at all levels help choose which energy resources and technologies receive public and private investment. These agencies also help choose how and where that energy is produced and distributed. These agencies also choose what a projects public-health and air-quality impacts are, and what it all winds up costing us in the end.CPC takes the fight to the utilities, oil companies, car companies and others to reduce the use of dirty fuels, require greater energy efficiency in appliances, vehicles, and buildings, and to generate more power from clean and renewable resources. We fight for stronger laws regulating emission of toxic air pollution and climate gases. We lobby the state Legislature, Governor, Air Resources Board, Public Utility Commission, California Energy Commission, California IndependentSystem Operator, Local and regional air quality districts, city councils and wherever important decisions are being made about the environmental and public health attributes of the…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $131,663.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $53k to $171k (+220%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $487k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Energy Action Fund). These are real filings, and they are not money Clean Power Campaign raised.
From the IRS filings of Clean Power Campaign’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Clean Power Campaign leans on a few funders — its largest provides 77% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Clean Power Campaign.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
Clean Power Campaign draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 1 state in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $85k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
