MCA held six community events that engaged and informed community members about environmental justice, green job opportunities and community solar. Our first community solar garden, serving 41 families, was installed in 2019 and connected to the grid in December 2022. Subscribers started receiving electric bill credits in January 2023 totaling $8877. Our second community solar garden at North High School, serving 50 families, is installed and will be connected to the grid in February 2023. Community members will start receiving electric bill credits the next month, alleviating energy burden, while promoting renewable energy. New community solar site acquisition is active, with a new community solar garden project starting in January 2024, with a target of 75% LMI participants.* Community Solar Advocacy* MCA did extensive advocacy at the city, county and state level for energy policy that supports community resilience and equitable energy policy. We attended over 40 advocacy events and meetings, resulting in community solar garden reform at the state level and other levels of government that will benefit LMI community members.* Community Solar and Environmental Justice Toolkit* MCA worked with partners and community members to create content for a shareable Community Solar and Environmental Justice Toolkit, an accessible, approachable and culturally relevant online and print resource for community members, nonprofits, and Minneapolis neighborhood organizations. Work included community events and small group discussion, engagement with legislators, city officials and government entities, research of successful climate related community outreach, and working with artists, graphic designers, and youth, all in service of an effective toolkit to address our climate crisis. The toolkit will be completed in partnership with Blackbird Revolt and provide much needed information and motivation to create community solar gardens, a powerful environmental justice tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy bill burdens, provide local green jobs, raise awareness of disparate climate impacts and create a powerful structure to bring renewable energy benefits down to the community level. 0 0 0 105596 1 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 MN X X Sonji Kennedy 6128024420 1200 Plymouth Ave N Minneapolis MN 55411 Kyle Samejima Former Executive Director 40 0 X 77784 0 0 Akisha Everett Executive Director 40 0 X 0 33378 0 Kelsey King Interim President/Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Stites Board Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Daniela Mejia Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ukasha Dakane Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tallaya Byers Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rahma Elmoge Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Chris Torres Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Fred Mayer Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Naomi Schroeder Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alejandra Rodriguez Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 77784 33378 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 29872 312055 0 341927 0 5 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 341932 0 0 5 X 1413 1413 63619 50896 6361 6362 6793 5434 680 679 0 3024 0 3024 0 47280 42546 2367 2367 511 0 0 511 1687 1687 0 0 450 337 113 0 800 800 0 0 1009 1009 0 0 1146 0 1146 0 935 748 94 93 Printing 622 622 0 0 Program Supplies 104 104 0 0 Dues and Fees 75 0 75 0 129468 105596 13860 10012 132752 319059 8691 8787 141443 327846 113113 84584 1493 3961 114606 88545 X 26500 239301 337 0 26837 239301 141443 327846 212464 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 26242 26563 90281 91105 341927 576118 26242 26563 90281 91105 341927 576118 249982 326136 0 0 0 13 5 18 576136 0.56607 0.83964 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Payroll Liabilities 3961 3961 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b We do not have commitees.
