We provide citizens and decision-makers with the research, policy analysis, and practical tools they need to advance strong communities, a green economy, and a healthy environment. In 2025, our work contributed to the region's transition to clean energy, abundant housing options, and stronger democratic participation across the Northwest. Highlights included supporting a first-of-its-kind agreement to pilot neighborhood-scale electrification in Oregon, playing a key role in passing the nation's strongest statewide parking reform in Washington, and working alongside partners to defend Alaska's ranked choice voting system from repeal. We shared these solutions widely through in-depth research, media commentary, and public events, and worked to assemble the multi-partisan coalitions often needed to turn policy ideas into reality. All of our research is freely available under our open-use policy. Our core program areas are Climate and Energy, Housing and Cities, and Democracy and Elections. 2487924 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 29 0 1 19 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 OR X X The Charity CFO 3143900220 1310 Papin St Suite 300 St Louis MO 63103 Alan Durning Executive Director 40.00 X X 203644 0 32478 John McGarry Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Tl'ehskwiisimka Marshall Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Brynn Arborico Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Erim Gomez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sara Moorehead Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Raymond Fung Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nolan Lienhart Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Putnam Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Neelima Shah Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Henry Honorof Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Meaghan Tracy Managing Director 40.00 X 164767 0 46634 Anna Fahey Principal Director of Strategy 40.00 X 154259 0 49869 Daniel Bertolet Senior Director, Housing + Cities 40.00 X 145944 0 25388 Serena Larkin Senior Director of Communications 40.00 X 123180 0 26302 Emily Moore Senior Director, Climate + Energy 40.00 X 120521 0 28741 Rachel Consolo Associate Director, Human Resources 40.00 X 100708 0 22976 1013023 0 232388 7 0 1 0 0 4125030 4125030 Fees for services 900099 1500 1500 1500 158380 158380 50 50 2982984 2805740 177244 177244 177244 Other income 900099 7431 7431 7431 4469635 1550 0 343055 X 21790 21790 651652 345109 106716 199827 1485854 1094784 179774 211296 138591 118009 2701 17881 153273 130282 3455 19536 157544 128742 4010 24792 102249 102249 68668 68668 40103 40103 32869 32869 459328 455328 4000 70 70 35097 25181 2938 6978 72592 43071 7601 21920 6996 5468 244 1284 64603 29339 25615 9649 2839 2245 22 572 2302 1821 74 407 5966 4753 183 1030 Dues and fees 19739 835 15468 3436 16780 12429 3743 608 3538905 2487924 491662 559319 777568 1992191 170626 147305 991303 1133124 28077 17684 11094 10319 3076 775 5205686 4844596 7176336 8135675 534353 520424 150000 684353 520424 X 5322855 5194974 1169128 2420277 6491983 7615251 7176336 8135675 930730 192538 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3066837 2589053 4655854 2338676 4125030 16775450 3066837 2589053 4655854 2338676 4125030 16775450 5848218 10927232 75440 85175 100776 171716 158430 591537 6002 3924 1338 615 7431 19310 17386297 76545 0.62850 0.60920 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 34429 204582 239011 2921391 3160402 308020 77005 0 0 301151 297268 312491 308020 1218930 1828395 184369 223429 122971 239011 769780 75288 74317 78123 77005 304733 457100 30848 27091 24442 34429 116810 11094 10319 775 775 4686455 192538 57151 249689 4436766 32869 32869 4469635 3563187 57151 57151 3506036 32869 32869 3538905 X X X X 1 Penny Carrothers Words with Purpose 312 NW 50th Street Seattle WA 98107 Grant writing 0 1595000 26353 1568647 Barnicle Advisory Services 6607 Southeast 42nd Avenue Portland OR 97206 Advising 0 0 13750 -13750 1595000 40103 1554897 OR WA 1 1000 Friends of Oregon PO Box 14009 Portland OR 97293 930642086 501(c)(3) 19882 0 State legislative advocacy partnership 1 Part I, Line 2: The Organization requests progress reports as determined by the MOU.
