01What it does

What Climate Tech Action Network does

Mission

The Climate Tech Action Network (CTAN) connects engineers, technologists and entrepreneurs seeking opportunities to work on the climate crisis with mentors and high-impact climate tech companies.

As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.

Program

As part of our mission to mitigate the climate crisis, CTAN hired two consultants, who collaborated on tasks, including: administering and marketing our professional mentorship program to help engineers and scientists transitioning into organizations that work to mitigate climate change; producing events to highlight leadership in the climate technology space; and planning a conference to help engage the public with emerging technologies to address climate change. CTAN subscribes to software services, established a website and paid for conference attendance to help publicize these programs and engage with the community.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of CLIMATE TECH ACTION NETWORK’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.

Where its funders are

100% of CLIMATE TECH ACTION NETWORK's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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.
