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 — 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

  • 2022 TO SUPPORT RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND OUTREACH ABOUT A SAFE CLIMATE FUTURE

  • 2023 To support research, education, and outreach about a safe climate future

  • 2023 Grants were provided and expenses were incurred for Green Governance (Policy), Public Diplomacy & Legal to support projects that focus on Governmental/Provincial Sustainability Policies and how best to implement those policies and encourage collaborative effort across various stakeholders such as government offices and affected industrial contacts in India.

  • 2023 PROJECT SUPPORT

  • 2023 Civic Participation

  • 2022 TO EXPLORE, ANALYZE, AND UNDERSTAND THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN NEWS AND SOCIAL MEDIA IN PRODUCING, AMPLIFYING, AND ENABLING HATE SPEECH.

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 10 September 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.
