What Power a Clean Future Ohio does
Mission
Power a Clean Future Ohio is building momentum now for a clean, prosperous future by equipping local leaders for equitable, community-driven carbon reductions in ohio.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Power a Clean Future Ohio (pcfo) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides data-driven technical expertise and resources to ohio communities to implement clean energy initiatives and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Pcfo provided over 2,887 hours of technical assistance supporting communities in developing sustainability plans, climate action frameworks, and other clean energy initiatives. To further support these local and regional planning efforts, pcfo provided seven greenhouse gas inventories and four scenario plans, which take the emissions assessments and provide pathways for achieving locally developed goals. Pcfo also delivered 26 grant snapshots detailing funding opportunities and enhanced our support for member communities in communicating sustainability initiatives, with an emphasis on economic benefits, cost-savings, and job creation. Through these efforts, we have maintained and expanded our reach to 55 member communities, representing 45% of ohio's population. Throughout this work we have maintained a consistent engagement rate above 80% of member communities throughout the year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $625k to $3.0M (+378%).
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.
96% of POWER A CLEAN FUTURE OHIO’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 3 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
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% 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 POWER A CLEAN FUTURE OHIO’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.
How concentrated its funding is
POWER A CLEAN FUTURE OHIO leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
80% 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 POWER A CLEAN FUTURE OHIO.
“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.
Where its funders are
POWER A CLEAN FUTURE OHIO draws 73% of its grant income from funders outside Ohio, across 6 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $315k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
