What Fusion Industry Association does
Mission
The Fusion Industry Association (FIA) is the unified voice of the growing fusion industry. Fusion energy, when commercialized, will revolutionize the global energy system by providing a clean, safe, sustainable form of always-on energy. The FIA's members and affiliate members have the common business interest of accelerating the date of commercial fusion energy, and - once commercialized - increasing its use in the U.S. and global marketplace. The FIA seeks to accelerate this date of commercialization through direct engagement with governments and the public to educate and advocate for fusion. All activities of the organization work to support these goals.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Supporting Public-Private Partnerships - For decades, government-funded scientists have engaged in research into plasma physics and fusion energy. The FIA advocates for private fusion companies to have access to that scientific research, with the scientists, institutions, and scientific products produced. Furthermore, the Public-Private Partnerships that include government support to private fusion companies can rapidly accelerate fusion development by driving private financial support. The FIA works to support public-private partnerships that will allow direct engagement between private fusion industry and scientists.
Regulatory Engagement: Fusion power plants will be subject to regulation by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and State regulators when built. How those regulations are designed and implemented will have a material impact on the costs and timescales for building power plants and driving investment. Likewise, ensuring that fusion experiments and power plants pose the minimum risk to the public is of paramount importance to the industry. Therefore, a key priority of the FIA is to directly engage with regulators in a transparent manner as they determine appropriate, risk-informed regulation for the industry.
External Communications: Ensuring that stakeholders and policymakers know about the importance of clean, safe, affordable, and secure fusion energy to the future energy system is a key part of the FIA's exempt mission. Through traditional media, social media, and direct engagement, the FIA is educating key stakeholders in the private, public, and philanthropic sectors about the importance of tomorrow's fusion power economy.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $247k to $333k (+35%).
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.
88% of Fusion Industry Association’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
