From this collaborative effort, many of these programs evolved into becoming their own successful nonprofit organizations to carry out this important work. 722197 Electrification of energy end-uses in homes and buildings is a major strategy for combating climate change. Beneficial electrification must meet three criteria: reduction of long-term costs; improvement of grid reliability or reduction in grid instability; and avoidance of negative environmental impacts. Switching from fossil energy sources - such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas - offers many tangible benefits: less pollution, improved human health, customer savings, and less atmospheric warming. Acterra's Beneficial Electrification (BE) program prioritizes and accelerates the adoption of all-electric appliances, buildings, and vehicles that operate on clean energy instead of fossil fuels. BE supports the general public, small businesses, industry, municipalities, counties, regional authorities, the state, utilities and NGOs toward meeting the climate goals of the entire region. Acterra must play a role in advocating for the move away from fossil fuel devices. Acterra develops and shares materials and strategies to encourage the wider adoption of fossil-free devices and technologies in both the commercial and residential sectors. Specifically, Acterra facilitates outreach to residents and professionals on the benefits of fossil-free devices in construction and educates residents on the benefits of fossil-free devices in homes. 321431 Healthy Plate, Healthy Planet: In the San Francisco Bay Area, food is one of the biggest contributors to the average person's carbon footprint, fueling climate change. Acterra's Healthy Plate, Healthy Planet Program works together with local Bay Area communities to promote two easy and impactful ways to reduce our collective foodprint. We educate on the benefits of adopting a more plant-forward lifestyle and reducing the amount of wasted food, with the goal for us all to enjoy a healthier, well fed life. 291424 13650 2121119 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 18 0 true 30 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X X Kori Nuerge 4083206376 3921 E Bayshore Blvd 210 Palo Alto CA 94303 Lauren Weston Executive Dir. 55.00 0.00 X X 175900 0 30100 Rex Northen President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Katie Excoffier Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Phil Brosterhous Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eddie Cha Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Cross Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mohan Gurunathan Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Geoff Nicholls Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Josue Ramirez Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Saltz Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Josh Schein Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Steidle Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Teksler Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Weihl Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Erny Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nishank Kanungo Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ajay Chawla Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hitesh Soneji Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jiadong Chen Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Taylor Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alyssa Bonette Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 175900 30100 1 false true false 0 798760 1289733 2088493 Program Fees 561499 18650 18650 Services Revenue 561499 74231 74231 92881 8375 8375 0 0 0 0 20000 3493 16507 0 0 Miscellaneous Revenue 1427 1427 1427 2207683 92881 9802 X 328735 328735 0 0 0 175900 105540 17590 52770 0 1085995 932735 56590 96670 35933 30846 1516 3571 87760 74761 3874 9125 107397 92311 4473 10613 0 0 93928 93928 0 0 0 465336 398080 12098 55158 24894 887 13586 10421 86119 67479 8060 10580 41449 29613 9731 2105 0 23812 22307 449 1056 2720 2713 7 0 15921 11552 3122 1247 0 0 0 13076 8255 3806 1015 Events 87543 15305 34689 37549 0 2676518 2121119 263512 291887 725367 146534 200572 320998 200000 325000 332986 234355 0 0 0 0 32428 2993 0 447041 457466 0 0 0 0 1938394 1487346 124959 94884 11732 32610 136691 127494 X 972829 471383 828874 888469 1801703 1359852 1938394 1487346 -468835 26985 -1 X true X false true false X 891318 640781 1630300 1927309 2108493 7198201 0 0 891318 640781 1630300 1927309 2108493 7198201 437264 6760937 16574 16469 9404 12405 8375 63227 0 58518 588 299 1427 60832 7322260 702827 0.92330 0.91620 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 447041 35360 24935 457466 549810 -78419 24350 447041 491472 85198 26860 549810 499542 25050 33120 491472 487704 35633 23795 499542 0.62150 0.37850 false false false X 2207683 2207683 2207683 2676518 2676518 2676518 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
