Mission and programs · 2024

• GINOMDURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD, THE GINOM PROGRAM ADVANCED AS AN INNOVATIVE DECISION SUPPORT TOOL DESIGNED TO HELP LEADERS PREPARE FOR AND MANAGE COMPLEX CRISES. GINOM IS A UNIQUE MULTI-SECTOR INTERDEPENDENCY-INFORMED DECISION SUPPORT PLATFORM THAT ENABLES ANALYSIS OF CROSS-SECTOR CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS SUCH AS ENERGY GENERATION, WATER DISTRIBUTION, COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSPORTATION. IN BOTH PLANNING AND REAL-TIME MODE, THE PLATFORM ANALYZES HOW DISRUPTIONS IN DIFFERENT SECTORS CASCADE THROUGH AN ENTIRE INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM, AND PROVIDES DECISION-MAKERS WITH DATA-DRIVEN VISIBILITY INTO VULNERABILITIES, (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) INTERDEPENDENCIES, AND RECOVERY DECISION-CHAIN OPTIONS INFORMED BY THESE ASSESSMENTS. A. DEVELOPMENT PROGRESSMAJOR MILESTONES WERE ACHIEVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SIMULATION AND ANALYTICS ENGINE. IN ITS CURRENT TESTBED IMPLEMENTATION, THE PLATFORM NOW SUPPORTS ASSET-LEVEL MODELING, CASCADING-EFFECT PROPAGATION, AND EVENT-BASED SCENARIOS. A NEW EXPLAINABLE-AI LAYER WAS DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED, INTERPRETING SCENARIO OUTCOMES AND PROVIDING CLEAR DECISION-CHAIN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE PLANNING. WORK ALSO BEGAN ON AN INTERACTIVE FRONT-END INTERFACE ALLOWING USERS TO TEST CRISIS SCENARIOS AND VISUALIZE THE CHAIN REACTIONS AMONG CONNECTED SECTORS.B. FUNDING AND PARTNERSHIPSTHE EIS GINOM TEAM PURSUED MULTIPLE FUNDRAISING TRACKS, INCLUDING PROPOSALS TO THE EU EIC ACCELERATOR, THE HORIZON EUROPE FRAMEWORK, AND PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATIONS FOCUSED ON TECHNOLOGY FOR PEACE AND RESILIENCE. THE TEAM ENGAGED WITH PARTNERS IN THE U.S., CANADA, AND ISRAEL TO FORM A SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONAL AND GOVERNANCE MODEL, ALIGNING PUBLIC, ACADEMIC, AND PRIVATE STAKEHOLDERS UNDER SHARED OBJECTIVES.C. COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONTHE 2025 GLOBAL RESILIENCE WEBINAR SERIES, DEVELOPED JOINTLY WITH THE EIS COUNCIL, WAS LAUNCHED TO STRENGTHEN INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION. MONTHLY SESSIONS FEATURED EXPERTS DISCUSSING RESILIENCE TOPICS ENERGY SECURITY, CYBER DEFENSE, EMERGENCY COORDINATION, AND URBAN PREPAREDNESS ALONGSIDE LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS OF GINOM'S ANALYTICAL CAPABILITIES. THESE EVENTS EXPANDED OUTREACH AND POSITIONED GINOM AS BOTH AN EDUCATIONAL AND OPERATIONAL TOOL.D. EARLY ADOPTERS PROGRAMAN EARLY ADOPTERS INITIATIVE WAS INTRODUCED TO ENGAGE FIRST-TIER USERS SUCH AS NATIONAL GRID OPERATORS, MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES, AND HUMANITARIAN NGOS. PILOT DISCUSSIONS BEGAN IN ISRAEL, CANADA, AND THE UNITED STATES TO TEST THE POTENTIAL FOR GINOM'S USE FOR CRISIS PLANNING AND CONTINUITY EXERCISES.E. GINOM PORTAL AND ECOSYSTEMDURING THE REPORTING PERIOD, A COMMERCIAL WEBSITE FOR GINOM.AI WAS LAUNCHED, SERVING AS THE PROJECT'S PUBLIC-FACING PLATFORM. THE WEBSITE PROVIDES ACCESS TO WEBINARS, DETAILED EXPLANATIONS OF HOW THE GINOM SYSTEM OPERATES, AND AN ONLINE FORUM FOR ORGANIZATIONS INTERESTED IN JOINING THE PIONEERS PROGRAM. IN PARALLEL, DEVELOPMENT PROGRESSED ON THE GINOM PLATFORM, THE TEAM IS ADVANCING THE PLATFORM'S CORE INFRASTRUCTURE BY ESTABLISHING A TESTBED ENVIRONMENT WHERE SIMULATIONS ARE EXECUTED AND THE SYSTEM IS EVALUATED UNDER DIVERSE CRISIS SCENARIOS TO ENSURE ROBUSTNESS AND RELIABILITY. TOGETHER, THESE PLATFORMS STRENGTHEN GINOM'S GLOBAL PRESENCE AND SUPPORT THE CREATION OF A PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY DEDICATED TO IMPROVING SYSTEMIC RESILIENCE AND CRISIS PREPAREDNESS.

THROUGH HIGH-LEVEL SUMMITS, INTERNATIONAL SIMULATIONS, AND SECTOR-FOCUSED COLLABORATIONS, EIS ADVANCED ITS MISSION TO BUILD PREPAREDNESS, REDUNDANCY, AND RECOVERY CAPACITY ACROSS CRITICAL SYSTEMS.A. THE RESILIENT RENEWABLE SOCIETY SUMMIT IN LONDON (SEPTEMBER 23-24, 2024), ORGANIZED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON, CONVENED SENIOR LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD IN GOVERNMENT, INDUSTRY, AND ACADEMIA TO ADDRESS EMERGING GLOBAL (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) RESILIENCE CHALLENGES. THE CONFERENCE EXPLORED THE SYSTEMIC INTERDEPENDENCIES BETWEEN ENERGY, COMMUNICATIONS, AND FINANCE, AS WELL AS FRAMEWORKS FOR RESILIENT CITIES AND REGIONS, AND STRATEGIES FOR ENHANCING REDUNDANCY IN LIFELINE INFRASTRUCTURES. THE DISCUSSION ALSO FOCUSED ON THE ROLE OF INNOVATION AND RESEARCH IN RISK ASSESSMENT, RESILIENCE INVESTMENT, AND THE INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS FOR CRISIS MANAGEMENT. THE EVENT REINFORCED THE POSITIONING OF EIS COUNCIL, IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON AND THE CITY OF LONDON'S AS A COLLABORATIVE, 3-PART HUB FOR GLOBAL RESILIENCE DIALOGUE AND ACADEMIC COLLABORATION.B. THE ELECTRIC SECTOR BLACK SKY RESILIENCE CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. (MAY 21-22, 2025), CO-HOSTED WITH EXELON AND PJM, FOCUSED ON CRITICAL ELECTRIC SECTOR RESILIENCE GAPS AND OPPORTUNITIES, AND ON THE OPERATIONAL REALITIES OF BLACKSTART READINESS, GRID TRANSITION, AND TODAY'S RAPIDLY GROWING GRID EXPANSION. SESSIONS, INCLUDING TWO LIVE SIMULATION EXERCISES, EXAMINED INVERTER-BASED RESOURCE CHALLENGES, OPERATIONAL COORDINATION DURING SYSTEM RESTORATION, CYBERPHYSICAL INTERDEPENDENCIES, AND PUBLICPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO ENSURE ENERGY CONTINUITY UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS. IN SUM THE SUMMIT HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF DECISION-MAKER FOCUS AND COORDINATED PLANNING AND INVESTMENT IN RESILIENT GRID ARCHITECTURES.C. EARTH EX LIVE! EXERCISES.

• ENERGY SECTOR WEB (ESWEB) EXPANSIONEIS COUNCIL CREATED THE ENERGY SECTOR WEB (ESWEB) INITIATIVE TO ADDRESS A SERIOUS ENERGY SECTOR COMMUNICATIONS SHORTFALL IN BLACK SKY-CLASS BLACKSTART SCENARIOS, IN WHICH NORMAL MEANS FOR INTEROPERABLE CROSS-CORPORATE COMMUNICATION WILL LIKELY FAIL. THE SYSTEM'S ARCHITECTURE IS DESIGNED TO LEVERAGE ENERGY SECTOR CORPORATIONS' EXISTING, EXTENSIVE CORPORATE-OWNED FIBEROPTIC ASSETS, FUNCTIONING AS A CYBER AND EMP-SECURE CORPORATE-OWNED AND OPERATED INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.CURRENT STATUS:A. THE FINAL STAGES OF THE INITIAL ESWEB PROOF-OF-CONCEPT PROJECT (BETWEEN DOMINION ENERGY, EXELON, AND PJM) HAVE BEEN FULLY TESTED AND VERIFIED.B. THE ESWEB INITIATIVE IS NOW ALSO BEING ACTIVELY PURSUED BY THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY (TVA) AND THE MIDWEST INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR (MISO).C. TWO MORE PROSPECTIVE PARTNERS, DUKE ENERGY AND NATIONAL GRID, ARE POISED TO JOIN ESWEB, AND EIS IS ALSO REACHING OUT TO THE CANADIAN POWER COMPANY HYDRO ONE.INTERNATIONAL BLACK SKY RESILIENCE ENGAGEMENTIN ADDITION TO THE ACTIVITIES REPORTED ON ABOVE, THE COUNCIL ALSO MAINTAINS BLACK SKY RESILIENCE INITIATIVES WITH AN INTERNATIONAL FOCUS, INCLUDING EFFORTS SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON THIS MISSION IN THE US, CANADA, ISRAEL, THE UK AND EUROPE. THESE IN-PROGRESS EFFORTS ARE IN CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT, AND REPORTING ON CURRENT STATUS IS MADE AVAILABLE TO INTERESTED ORGANIZATIONS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

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.
