What Washington Clean Technology Alliance does
Mission
CleanTech Alliance represents more than 1000 member companies and organizations across the region. Founded in 2007 by business and cleantech leaders, the Alliance facilitates the generation and growth of cleantech companies and jobs through a variety of educational events.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Commercialization assistance is critical to the CleanTech Alliance mission. Our programs help early-and late-stage companies hone their business plans, products and market delivery to cross the valleys of death from concept to commercialization to success.
The CleanTech Alliance assists emerging cleantech companies and initiatives looking for exposure, connections, and funding. These receive visibility with members, partner organizations, and other resources to help meet specific goals of the organizations. The Alliance also provides visibility by utilizing them for program speakers, media outreach, case studies and resources.
The CleanTech Alliance manages a commercialization program in partnership with VertueLab to help entrepreneurs start successful businesses and create jobs.

$0 spent
The 4 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2019 to 2020, from $170k to $333k (+95%).
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: 2018 11% · 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2023 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of Washington Clean Technology Alliance’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.
