What The Energy Efficiency Alliance does
Mission
Eea's mission is to champion energy efficiency as the foundation of a clean, just and resilient energy economy. We envision a future where energy efficiency anchors all efforts to meet our ongoing energy needs, improve health and comfort, promote energy equity, and protect our climate.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Eea (formerly keef)is a 501(c)(3)organization, incorporated with the purpose of increasing the energy efficiency of pennsylvania's buildings through education and awareness. Eea's mission is to champion energy efficiency as the foundation of a clean, just and resilient energy economy. Eea educates the public about energy conservation and efficiency; provides forums for sharing best practices; provides rapid information-exchange platforms to keep abreast of energy efficiency developments as they happen; promotes feedback mechanisms on market transformation activities in the field; and coordinates with its affiliated statewide trade association, keea (keystone energy efficiency alliance) to monitor and support energy efficiency policies and regulations at local, state, and federal levels.

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $464,832.
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 2024 to 2025, from $325k to $774k (+138%).
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.
100% of THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE’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. 3 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.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2020 and FY2021 filings.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $509k → $724k.
3 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $70k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Energy Efficiency Alliance-Nj). These are real filings, and they are not money THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE raised.
From the IRS filings of THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE’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
THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
87% 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 THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 93% · 2018 90% · 2019 83% · 2020 86% · 2021 60% · 2022 75% · 2023 37% — 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
43% of THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% 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
THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE draws 86% of its grant income from funders outside Pennsylvania, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $195k 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.
