Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
Our mission is to improve governance outcomes in California, including things like more housing & transit, less carbon, fewer inmates, fewer wildfires, higher test scores, and more good jobs.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Effective Government California aims to improve governance outcomes in California, including things like more housing & transit, less carbon, fewer inmates, fewer wildfires, higher test scores, and more good jobs. We do this by supporting advocacy organizations and lobbying on specific bills.
-
We held 32 learning events via Zoom and 8 in person events with elected officials, public intellectuals, journalists. We helped fundraise $500k for an advocacy campaign to keep Diablo Canyon open. We helped fundraise $100k for the California YIMBY Victory PAC and helped lobby to pass important housing bills such as AB 2011 (streamlines production of affordable housing on commercially-zoned land) and AB 2097 (eliminates parking minimums).We launched a municipal chapter of Effective Government, which in turn helped fundraise for two important ballot props (Prop D and Prop J). We organized an Spring 2022 Abundance retreat with leading political operators, journalists, and advocacy org leaders. We launched a new publication (Modern Power) and published 19 essays, reaching an audience of 10,000+. Our regular readers include a dozen CA legislators, national journalists, billionaire philanthropists, and even a former CA Governor.

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.
