Programs
SEED PROGRAM: The SEED team continues progress in establishing trust identifying barriers and developing solutions within the target neighborhoods. Through listening sessions with neighborhood stakeholders and review of their Neighborhood First plans the SEED team identified collaboration opportunities in several areas including Neighborhood Gardens Faith community outreach Neighborhood REACH program Collaboration between Capital Area Community Action Agency and the city of Tallahassee Community benefits agreements. The SEED team produced reports to inform decision makers about how grant or alternative funding streams could help overcome barriers to solar in LMI communities. The SEED team conducted in-home assessments for energy weatherization in low-to-moderate income communities in Tallahassee. Based on this the SEED team looks in 2025 to reduce energy burden in these homes.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2024 to 2025, from $118k to $215k (+82%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 6% · 2022 10% · 2023 3% · 2024 9% · 2025 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
89% of RETHINK ENERGY FLORIDA INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $29k → $65k.
8 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% 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 RETHINK ENERGY FLORIDA INC’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
RETHINK ENERGY FLORIDA INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
86% 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 RETHINK ENERGY FLORIDA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 66% · 2018 86% · 2019 60% · 2020 54% · 2021 38% · 2022 27% · 2023 46% — 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
13% of RETHINK ENERGY FLORIDA INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% 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
RETHINK ENERGY FLORIDA INC draws 72% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $192k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
