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. 553547 685391 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 are only two program areas to report on 0 0 0 1107094 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 0 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 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 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 69750 0 0 Michelle F Jones Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kimberly McDade Director 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 Joel Simmons Treasurer 2 0 X 0 0 0 69750 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1364710 0 1364710 0 71 71 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 1364781 71 0 0 X 750 750 0 0 0 0 0 0 69750 69750 0 0 0 0 0 0 263171 263171 0 0 0 0 0 0 47754 47754 0 23962 23962 0 0 0 0 0 0 74866 74866 0 0 115247 115247 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 204657 204657 0 0 1284 1284 0 0 29034 29034 0 0 58319 58319 0 0 0 0 0 0 3000 3000 0 0 10195 10195 0 0 0 0 0 0 20859 20859 0 0 24 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 15122 15122 0 0 4321 4321 0 0 Professional Services 34271 34271 0 0 Dues and Subcriptions 9474 9474 0 0 Outside Vendors 24483 24483 0 0 Utility Assistance Program 93216 93216 0 0 3335 3335 0 0 1107094 1107094 0 0 56071 254505 279443 358567 0 0 6375 44000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 109 220 303614 83846 191329 219768 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -11291 -30383 522036 846677 12090 72974 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 41633 48538 53723 121512 X 0 0 0 0 468313 725165 468313 725165 522036 846677 257687 0 0 0 -835 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 691675 287493 1245042 568176 1321666 4114052 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 691675 287493 1245042 568176 1321666 4114052 0 4114052 621 1770 284 263 71 3009 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4117061 0 0.99927 0.99844 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 303614 83846 219768 0 0 0 0 219768 3104 Accrued Payroll Liability 28565 Payroll Advances -13870 State Income Tax 3808 Local Income Tax 22357 Contingent Liabilities 4574 48538 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Finance Dept reviews document with the Executive Director, who then reviews with the Board of Directors and answers any questions they may have.
