That must change. We develop and advocate for smart policies that public and private sector leaders can implement to support clean energy solutions. 43527907 41509833 0 Many of the solutions we need to build a clean energy future are either in their infancy or do not yet exist. So, the first step in out-innovating climate change is to support solutions where they start: discovery. Our global Breakthrough Energy Fellows Program offers early-stage innovators support to bridge the gap from lab to market. 107251412 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true 50 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 2 2 false false false false true true true true true false false false true true true false false false false false X ANGIE FIDLER 4254974300 PO BOX 563 KIRKLAND WA 98083 X RODI GUIDERO MANAGING DIRECTOR 2.0 3.0 X X 0 0 0 GREG NELSON DIRECTOR 1.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 CINDY LEEPER SECRETARY & TREASURER 6.0 9.0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL BOOTS EVP 4.0 3.0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false RHODIUM GROUP 5 COLUMBUS CIRCLE NEW YORK NY 10019 RESEARCH & ANALYSIS 3032274 SYSTEMIQ LIMITED 110 HIGH HOLBORN 8TH FLOOR LONDON UK WC1V6JS RESEARCH & ANALYSIS 1606500 CTGI LLC 144 EAST 44TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10017 CLEAN TECH EDUCATION 1318592 KIC InnoEnergy SE KENNISPOORT JOHN F KENNEDYLAAAN 2 EINDHOVEN NL 5612AB ADVOCACY SERVICES 913479 CLIMATE ADVISORS INC 1802 VERNON STREET NW 518 WASHINGTON DC 20009 ADVOCACY SERVICES 400000 28 110900255 110900255 0 0 0 0 0 4148448 4148448 0 0 1252999 1200000 52999 0 52999 52999 CURRENCY RE-EVALUATION GAIN 900099 128051 0 0 128051 0 0 0 0 128051 115229753 0 0 4329498 72685435 72685435 3246842 3246842 20548653 20548653 170536 5543 164993 0 99619 0 99619 0 65071 65071 0 0 9298545 9140958 75004 82583 226328 226328 0 0 281062 212471 68591 0 1113959 1113959 0 0 6152 6152 0 0 BUSINESS LICENSING & REGISTRATION 237 0 237 0 0 0 0 0 107742439 107251412 408444 82583 476666 7965364 141445286 35130825 8650000 104505744 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 888365 85672 0 0 0 0 0 0 1700000 0 0 0 0 0 151460317 149387605 3037766 958090 13305690 3468465 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8537 0 16351993 4426555 X 127708720 139661050 7399604 5300000 0 0 0 0 0 0 135108324 144961050 151460317 149387605 X 7487314 -119562 2484974 X false true X false false X 272198599 52652903 2250000 110900255 438001757 0 0 0 272198599 52652903 2250000 110900255 438001757 402083630 35918127 246 244 2734670 4148448 6883608 0 0 0 67473 372267 128051 567791 445453156 0 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 1 COLUMN B THE ORGANIZATION IS REPORTING A SHORT YEAR IN COLUMN (B) FOR THE PERIOD 10/16/2020 - 6/30/2021.

This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, though it would be subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, should such revenues exist. The Organization has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The Organization has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
