Electrification of energy end-uses in homes and buildings is a major strategy for combating climate change. Beneficial electrification must meet three criteria: reduction of long-term costs; improvement of grid reliability or reduction in grid instability; and avoidance of negative environmental impacts. Switching from fossil energy sources-such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas-offers many tangible benefits: less pollution, improved human health, customer savings, and less atmospheric warming. The Organization's Beneficial Electrification program prioritizes and accelerates the adoption of all-electric appliances, buildings, and vehicles that operate on clean energy instead of fossil fuels. Beneficial Electrification program supports the general public, small businesses, industry, municipalities, counties, regional authorities, the state, utilities and NGOs toward meeting the climate goals of the entire region. The Organization plays a role in advocating for the move away from fossil fuel devices. The Organization develops and shares materials and strategies to encourage the wider adoption of fossil-free devices and technologies in both the commercial and residential sectors. Specifically, the Organization facilitates outreach to residents and professionals on the benefits of fossil-free devices in construction and educates residents on the benefits of fossil-free devices in homes.

A key goal is to compel the wider public to recognize the urgency of the climate crisis and to increase people's willingness to take appropriate actions. The Organization's main tool for encouraging behavior change is education.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
