As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Earthcare Campaigns: In 2024-2025, QEW led major efforts to engage 371 Quaker meetings and generated over 1,400 volunteers to protect clean energy efforts around the country. We expanded our global advocacy by sending a cohort of 16 young Friends to UN COP30 as Quaker Youth UN Ambassadors and hosting an international side event.

    38% of program spending
  2. Local Action: QEW catalyzed localized environmental stewardship through our Mini-Grants Program, directly funding renewable energy installations, reforestation, and youth-led climate education across North America and East Africa. To build global interconnectedness, we established the QEW Africa Working Group to develop an Earthcare education and training hub in Kaimosi, Kenya. We also launched the QuakerEarth Action Map, an interactive global database that documented 57 new Quaker environmental projects this year, making grassroots sustainability effortsfrom divestment to community agriculturevisible and accessible to the public.

  3. Education: We empowered our network by hosting over 15 educational programs, trainings, and workshops designed to build community resilience and strategic organizing skills. Our bi-annual gatherings, "From Faith to Regeneration and Common Ground," convened participants to explore ecological law and regenerative cultures with prominent environmental leaders. We coupled these events with dynamic multimedia outreach to equip a new generation of activists with a spiritual foundation and practical tools for their climate justice work."

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $72 → $4k.

1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 Quaker Earthcare Witness’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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $346 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
