| $345,473 | ENERGY ACCESS AND EQUITY:FRESH ENERGY IS COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT THE TRANSITION TO CLEAN ENERGY BENEFITS ALL. EQUITY IS A CONSIDERATION IN OUR WORK ACROSS PROGRAMS AND WITHIN OUR INTERNAL OPERATIONS. WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF PROGRAMMATIC INITIATIVES UNDERWAY WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON EQUITY, INCLUDING SERVING AS CO-LEAD OF THE MINNESOTA MULTIFAMILY AFFORDABLE HOUSING ENERGY NETWORK (MMAHEN), WHICH CONNECTS BUILDING OWNERS, RENTERS, HOUSING AND ENERGY ADVOCATES, FINANCING ENTITIES, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, AND OTHERS TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND OTHER MULTIFAMILY HOUSING. IN MULTIPLE STATE AND NATIONAL FORUMS, WE ALSO SHAPE RENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRAM DESIGN, ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND WEATHERIZATION INVESTMENTS, AND OTHER INITIATIVES TO REDUCE THE ENERGY BURDEN ON UNDER-RESOURCED HOUSEHOLDS. ACCESS AND EQUITY ARE ALSO CENTRAL ELEMENTS OF OUR CLEAN TRANSPORTATION WORK TO ELECTRIFY TRANSIT AND SCHOOL BUSES. |
| $626,101 | CLEAN ELECTRICITY:GENERATING ELECTRICITY WITHOUT CARBON POLLUTION IS A CRUCIAL STEP TOWARD A CARBON-NEUTRAL FUTURE, AND FRESH ENERGY IS WORKING HARD TO LOCK IN A 90% CARBON FREE ELECTRIC SYSTEM BY 2025. THROUGH ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT AT THE MINNESOTA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, STATE LEGISLATURE, AND OTHER DECISION-MAKING VENUES, FRESH ENERGY IS WORKING TO END RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUEL, DRAMATICALLY INCREASE RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY GENERATION, AND MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY WITH LOAD MANAGEMENT AND OTHER STRATEGIES. AS A RESULT OF OUR EFFORTS, COAL PLANTS ARE CLOSING OR RUNNING LESS OFTEN, UTILITIES ARE MAKING HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN MORE EFFICIENT SYSTEMS, UTILITY CUSTOMERS HAVE NEW RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY CHOICES, AND WIND, SOLAR, AND BATTERY STORAGE ARE AN INCREASING PART OF MINNESOTA'S ENERGY SYSTEM. BECAUSE A LARGE-SCALE ENERGY TRANSITION WILL REQUIRE A STRONG, MODERN ELECTRIC GRID, FRESH ENERGY IS ALSO WORKING TO SECURE TRANSMISSION FOR INCREASED RENEWABLES ACROSS THE REGION, AND A DISTRIBUTION GRID THAT SUPPORTS CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES. |
| $518,032 | PUBLIC AFFAIRS:AS A POLICY ORGANIZATION, FRESH ENERGY DRIVES CHANGE IN MULTIPLE DECISION-MAKING FORUMS INCLUDING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE AND WITH OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. OUR PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT PROVIDES EXPERT LEADERSHIP ON POLICY-MAKER EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, AND COALITION WORK WITH PARTNERS ACROSS THE STATE. IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT ALSO OPERATES A GROWING ACTION NETWORK THAT EQUIPS THE PUBLIC TO WEIGH IN ON CLIMATE AND ENERGY DECISION MAKING. |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 3 | DURING THE YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2025, THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED A RESOLUTION FOR A PROGRAMMATIC FUNDING TRANSACTION. UNDER THIS RESOLUTION, THE BOARD APPROVED A TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM ITS ENERGY NEWS NETWORK (ENN) PROGRAM TO CANARY MEDIA, A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION. |
| PART III, LINE 4A | ENERGY TRANSITION: ANALYSIS MAKES IT CLEAR: TO TURN THE TIDE ON CLIMATE CHANGE, WE MUST NOT ONLY GENERATE ELECTRICITY WITHOUT CARBON, WE MUST REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM OUR ENTIRE ECONOMY. FRESH ENERGY IS USING MULTIPLE STRATEGIES TO SPEED AN ECONOMYWIDE TRANSITION, DOUBLING DOWN ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY, USING CLEAN ELECTRICITY INSTEAD OF FOSSIL FUELS, AND MAKING DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT. OUR MAJOR ENERGY TRANSITION PRIORITIES INCLUDE: CLEAN TRANSPORTATION - WITH A FOCUS ON TRANSITIONING FROM POLLUTING VEHICLES TO CLEAN ELECTRIC CARS AND BUSES. IN ADDITION TO SPURRING POLICY CHANGE, SUCH AS CLEAN CARS MINNESOTA, TO INCREASE ACCESS TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES, WE CONDUCT EFFECTIVE ADVOCACY AT THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION TO ENSURE THE ELECTRIC GRID IS READY FOR TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION THAT BENEFITS ALL CONSUMERS. BUILDING PERFORMANCE - INCLUDING SHAPING MINNESOTA'S BUILDING CODE AND OTHER POLICY SOLUTIONS, LEADING MARKET TRANSFORMATION AND EDUCATION, AND ADVOCATING FOR PROOF-OF CONCEPT MODELS THAT DEMONSTRATE STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING EQUITABLE BENEFITS WHILE MOVING TOWARD CARBON-NEUTRAL BUILDINGS. MINNESOTA BUILDING DECARBONIZATION COALITION - AN ACTIVE COALITION INCUBATED BY FRESH ENERGY THAT NOW INCLUDES MORE THAN 200 ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE REGION SHARING INFORMATION AND STRATEGY ON STATE-BASED PROJECTS; MULTIPLE INITIATIVES AT THE INTERSECTION OF HEALTH, EQUITY, AND DECARBONIZATION OF THE BUILDINGS SECTOR; AND AN EQUITY-CENTERED SUB-GRANTING PROGRAM THAT IS BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL GROUPS TO ENGAGE ON THIS ISSUE. GAS DECARBONIZATION - A VITAL NEW INITIATIVE FOCUSED ON TRANSITIONING AWAY FROM GAS FOR BUILDINGS AND INDUSTRY IN A WAY THAT BENEFITS CONSUMERS, IMPROVES INDOOR AIR QUALITY, AND REDUCES CARBON EMISSIONS. THANKS TO THE NATURAL GAS INNOVATION ACT, ACTIVELY SHAPED BY FRESH ENERGY, THERE ARE NEW OPENINGS AT THE MINNESOTA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION TO SCRUTINIZE GAS UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS, RATES, AND PILOT PROGRAMS AND FRESH ENERGY EXPERTS ARE USING THAT FORUM TO SPEED PROGRESS. |
