Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Interfaith Power & Light (IPL) inspires and mobilizes people of faith and conscience to take bold and just action on climate change.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The mission of The Regeneration Project is to deepen the connection between ecology and faith. Our primary focus at this time is the Interfaith Power & Light campaign.

  • National program expenditures funded educational campaigns on climate and creation care, organizational support for affiliates, and policy advocacy for clean energy and climate solutions. A few highlights were: our national conference held in person again in Washington, DC, which brought 70 state and national IPL leaders together to share best practices and build community; Faith Climate Action Week which supported over 1,500 congregations to hold worship services or other activities focused on climate , as well as garden planting ; the Cool Congregations Challenge to inspire and recognize outstanding efforts to green houses of worship and build sustainable communities; and a nonpartisan faith voter mobilization campaign. In 2022 IPL earned hundreds of news media mentions and hundreds of social media posts, generating millions of impressions. IPL and our affiliates regularly communicated with more than 100,000 supporters and reached more than 22,000 congregations. In addition, our staff and board leaders addressed dozens of faith community gatherings held around the country.Another significant program expense was support grants for state affiliates. State IPLs engaged congregations in their states in climate solutions, broadcast the call for a faithful response to climate change, advocated for clean energy, and sponsored voter education and mobilization campaigns.California Interfaith Power & Light (CIPL) educated its 720+ member congregations about global warming and advocated for equitable and effective climate policies at the state level. Highlights of the year included equipping several congregations in the Bay Area to become climate resiliency hubs to support their communities in times of emergency such as extreme heat or wildfire smoke. CIPL also promoted renewable energy and energy conservation. We supported congregations in lower income areas in accessing EV rebates and incentives. We advocated for policies at the state and local level to reduce pollution and advance environmental justice, including a state policy to phase out gas-powered cars by 2035.

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.
