What Our Climate Education Fund does
Mission
We engage and train youth from affected communities to participate in broad and diverse advocacy coalitions. We build deep partnerships, mobilize, and center those most impacted by climate change to dismantle systemic oppression and achieve systemic change.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Program
In 2023, our climate mobilized over 3,300 youth leaders across five states--new york, massachusetts, florida, washington, and oregon--along with our federal program. We focused on developing the next generation of climate leaders by providing hands-on advocacy training, leadership development, and mental health support through programs like resilience as resistance. Our work included hosting 92 collaborative calls with partners, organizing 60 youth leadership events, and expanding our fellowship program, which engaged 13 youth leaders in advocating for science-based, equitable climate policies.our climate had a significant impact on policy advancement, contributing to the passage of 13 pieces of climate legislation at the state and federal levels. We organized statewide advocacy events, including a climate day of action in washington and a youth summit in massachusetts, bringing together over 2,350 youth to participate in lobbying, letter-writing campaigns, and policy discussions. Our communications team also grew our online presence by 35%, launching our first communications volunteer program and amplifying youth voices through social media, blogs, and podcasts.on the…

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 2022 to 2023, from $562k to $332k (−41%).
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.
98% of OUR CLIMATE EDUCATION FUND’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. 2 of the last 7 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $238k → $785k.
19 of 56 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 OUR CLIMATE EDUCATION FUND’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 56 funders by total. 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
OUR CLIMATE EDUCATION FUND has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 13% of grant income, and it takes 7 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 7 funders to its left
55% 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 OUR CLIMATE EDUCATION FUND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 30% · 2019 21% · 2020 16% · 2021 32% · 2022 23% · 2023 25% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
32% of OUR CLIMATE EDUCATION FUND's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 54% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
OUR CLIMATE EDUCATION FUND draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Washington, D.C., across 13 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 13 states 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.
Against its field
OUR CLIMATE EDUCATION FUND's funding base is broadening — from 6 funders to 12 as grant income climbed.
