Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Virginia Interfaith Power & Light collaborates among people of faith and conscience to grow healthy communities by advancing climate and environmental education.

  • Stormwater reduction and resilience: VAIPL works to support the community-led efforts to address sea level rise, flooding due to severe weather, well failures, rising water tables, and salinization in coastal communities. We are educating communities, planning resilience strategies, and seeking solutions for individuals across the state. We are working on the middle peninsula to help faith communities develop resilience strategies and projects to support residents, particularly in severe weather conditions. Finally, we are serving faith communities in Richmond and Petersburg for stormwater reduction, heat island impact, and lowering their energy costs.

    Expenses $164,130

  • We are educating faith leaders and community members concerned about the health outcomes for their members and all Virginia residents. Heat stress and heat zones due to a lack of tree canopy and green space exacerbate chronic diseases like diabetes and asthma in children. Tree canopy raises the aesthetic and environment for community members, which has a positive impact on mental and emotional health.

    Expenses $164,130

  • Energy Burden: VAIPL believes that as people of faith, it's our responsibility to promote affordable energy for all Virginians and respond to the experiences and challenges of utility and energy costs and access that Virginia families face. We work to support access to sufficient and affordable energy for all Virginia communities. VAIPL works to educate faith communities on lowering their energy burden through energy-efficient and renewable energy opportunities. We also support community efforts to improve their environments and air and water quality against pollution through emissions.

    Expenses $164,129

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
