Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

GREEN LIGHT NEW ORLEANS PROVIDES SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS TO INDIVIDUAL HOMES AND ENCOURAGES COLLECTIVE ACTION TO CREATE A MORE RESILIENT COMMUNITY, ONE HOUSEHOLD AT A TIME, BY INSTALLING RAIN BARRELS, BACKYARD VEGETABLE GARDENS AND DISTRIBUTING FREE ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHT BULBS. PROGRAMS EMPLOY A FULL NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY AND PRIORITIZE LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES IN NEW ORLEANS, LA AS THEY ARE MOST VULNERABLE TO THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

  • In 2024, Green Light installed approximately 651 rain barrels for 468 residents, for a collective potential diversion of 32,550 gallons of rainwater per storm event, alleviating local flooding, reducing stress on the stormwater system, and allowing residents to collect water for nonpotable uses. Each resident was provided a copy of Rain Barrel Practice and Culture, an educational book on local challenges and solutions to flooding, stormwater management, and water conservation.

    Expenses $278,848 · Grants $257,774

  • In 2024, Green Light New Orleans partnered with the STEM Library lab to provide educational resources for local schools. Through the rain barrel service learning project, 110 barrels were sent to classrooms for service learning and education on topics of weather, climate, green infrastructure, environmental science, and civic engagement.

    Expenses $49,733 · Grants $73,650

  • In 2024, two grants (H20 the Future, and SouthFace) provided funding for weatherization and energy efficiency projects for Green Light New Orleans, attic insulation for a limited number of residents, and development of carbon capture methodology related to the rain barrel program and weatherization activities. In 2024, ten residents were provided with attic insulation and solar panels were obtained for Green Light New Orleans.

    Expenses $48,754 · Grants $36,824

  • In 2024, 775 volunteers were engaged in 2250 hours of service supporting Green Lights mission to provide low cost residential level green infrastructure (rain barrels) as a solution to local flooding and climate challenges. Volunteers upcycled food grade barrels to become functional environmental art, each uniquely painted and provided to applicants at a sliding scale cost share. Each volunteer is educated on the mission, purpose, benefits, and impact of the program. Independent Sector Value of Volunteer Time in 2024 was $34.79, for a total of $78,277.5 contributed volunteer time for Green Light New Orleans.

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.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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

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.
