Mission
Sovereign Energy builds the individual and collective power of Southwest Pueblos and Tribes to lead the way toward a just, interdependent, and sustainable energy future.
-
Energy Deployment. The Energy Deployment Program provides Southwest Pueblos and Tribes with curated tools, knowledge, and resources to help shape their own energy futures. By supporting Tribally-led, decentralized energy solutions, we help Tribal Nations design, implement, and manage energy systems that reflect their cultural values and long-term sustainability goals. Our work strengthens Tribal autonomy from external utilities, reduces energy costs, and builds resilient infrastructure to serve both present and future generations.
Expenses $194,158 · Grants $13,500 · Revenue $3,150
-
Tribal Capacity Building. Many Tribal Nations face considerable barriers to energy development, such as limited technical staff, complex regulatory environments, and inadequate access to funding. The Tribal Capacity Building Program addresses these challenges by providing Southwest Pueblos and Tribes with the legal, technical, and financial resources necessary to successfully manage, implement, and sustain energy projects. Sovereign Energy supports Tribes by offering strategic guidance, technical resources, and valuable connections to industry partners. Our goal is to equip Tribal Nations with the expertise and tools required to lead and sustain their own energy projects, building long-term capacity and resilience in the energy sector.
Expenses $68,903 · Revenue $5,504
-
Policy & Regulatory Advocacy. Sovereign Energy provides strategic support, resources, and connections to help Tribes effectively engage in legislative, administrative, and regulatory processes. Our goal is to create a policy landscape where Tribal-led energy solutions, cultural preservation, and environmental stewardship are central to decision-making at all levels of government.

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.
