What Energy Allies A NJ Nonprofit Corporation does
Mission
Revolutionize the energy system by centering climate-impacted communities through clean energy projects, policy advocacy and education.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Program
Energy Allies a NJ Nonprofit Corporation (Energy Allies) mission is to put community solar within reach of every American. Even though solar is booming and the technology is cheaper than ever, 80 percent of American households are locked out of the market. This exclusion has a disproportionate impact on low-to-moderate income (LMI) households, who pay a greater portion of their income for energy, but who are currently the least likely to benefit from clean energy. Community solar enables households to subscribe to a shared solar farm in their area and save money on their utility bill, without any extra costs or changes to their property-opening access to renters, LMI households, and other communities that are left out of rooftop solar. Energy Allies brings scalable solutions to bear on persistent inclusion issues in three key areas: 1) community enrollment and education, 2) financial innovation, and 3) policy advocacy, thereby democratizing solar access and accelerating the transition to clean energy.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $151k to $422k (+180%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2020 54% · 2021 34% · 2022 22% · 2023 34%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
