What Michigan Electric Cooperative Association does
Mission
To promote and serve the needs of the member cooperatives.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During 2025, the Michigan Electric Cooperative Association developed and implemented the Energy Waste Reduction (EWR) program, a comprehensive energy optimization initiative, to meet Michigan's statutory energy savings requirements. The program established standardized reporting processes and performance metrics, including greenhouse gas emission reductions, for annual submission to the Michigan Public Service Commission. Program results are reported both at the individual cooperative level and on a combined basis to demonstrate statewide impact and progress.

The 4 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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 2024 to 2025, from $2.1M to $1.1M (−47%).
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. 2 of the last 9 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.

2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $10k → $12k.
