State-Level Energy Democracy- a series of campaigns and coalition work to achieve affordability, health, and community-owned clean energy aimed at DTE, the MI Public Service Commission, and the legislature. Soulardarity is the only community-based organization with a strong legal presence at the MPSC fighting and building toward goals of racial and economic justice. We have leveraged legal intervention with public campaign work to win material victories to rate payers of SE Michigan including stopping regressive rate hikes, getting concessions from DTE to build low-income benefitting solar projects, and getting public health considered in energy decisions. 476580 635163 0 Asset Development: Highland Park Campaign Team-a campaign to make Highland Park, MI a global model of sustainability and self-determination, targeted at the City of Highland Park, organized around the Blueprint for Energy Democracy, the product of seven years of community organizing, research, and democratic practice and guide for our multi-issue work. Grow Solar Highland Park-Detroit-a public education and bulk purchasing program that makes going solar easier and more affordable. Creates access to energy-related products and services for Low-to-Moderate-Income ratepayers and members in support of a just transition to clean energy. Eligibility extends to property owners throughout the Detroit metro area and Wayne County. Once per year we offer the MREA sponsored RiseUP Training course established in 2020 to support workforce development efforts and expand employment access in advanced energy by providing solar training scholarships and facilitation paid solar internships. Graduates of the RiseUP Training Program provide students with free, hands-on solar training that can take them from "square one" all the way to their NABCP PV Associate Exam. We are currently working with Polar Bear Sustainable Energy Co-op to implement a home solar bulk purchase program and weatherization/home repair program as case studies of community wealth building through clean energy. Under this program we are preparing to launch a Loan Loss Reserve program - a credit enhancement approach commonly used by state and local governments to provide partial risk coverage to lenders--meaning that the reserve will cover a pre-specified amount of loan losses for those looking to weatherize, electrify, and participate in the bulk purchase or solarize their homes. 0 0 0 there is only two program areas to report on 0 0 0 953160 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 MI X X Shimekia Nichols 3133491063 21 Highland St Highland Park MI 48203 X Shimekia Nichols Executive Director 40 0 X 68896 0 0 Stacye Jones Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Michelle F Jones Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kimberly McDade Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jeana Tall Treasurer 2 0 X 0 0 0 Camille Sippel Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 Nancy Gambrill Vice President 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Bates President 2 0 X 0 0 0 68896 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 568177 0 568177 0 0 0 0 0 263 263 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 568440 263 0 0 X 1100 1100 6733 6733 0 0 0 0 68896 68896 0 0 197722 197722 0 0 39163 39163 24185 24185 0 0 108657 108657 95923 95923 0 0 0 0 0 0 147924 147924 1680 1680 12656 12656 40009 40009 0 0 3000 3000 5042 5042 0 0 16916 16916 0 0 0 0 10378 10378 4608 4608 Professional Services 44732 44732 0 0 Dues and Subscriptions 8021 8021 0 0 Outside Vendor Contractors 114950 114950 0 0 Miscellaneous 865 865 0 0 953160 953160 0 0 183661 56071 501180 279443 0 0 4972 6375 0 0 0 0 12211 0 0 0 113 109 260053 68724 201707 191329 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3430 -11291 907274 522036 8159 12090 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46082 41633 54241 53723 X 0 0 0 0 853033 468313 853033 468313 907274 522036 -384720 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 133760 691675 287493 1245042 568176 2926146 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 133760 691675 287493 1245042 568176 2926146 0 2926146 1644 621 1770 284 263 4582 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2930728 0 0.99844 0.99795 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 260053 68724 191329 0 0 0 0 191329 3130 Accrued Payroll Liability 29913 Payroll Advances -13870 State Income Tax 245 Local Income Tax 17641 Contingent Liiabilities 4574 41633 1 Cash grants given to community members experiencing utility hardships 10 6733 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Charitable donations are made to community individuals who needed assistance and who's nonprofit was in alignment with Soulardarity.
