These benefits also directly increase human health in affected areas. Our activities include providing decision-support resources to organizational management, as well as direct technical and funding assistance. We also engage directly with the general public through information campaigns and with local and state policymakers as subject matter experts. Long-term programmatic areas of engagement include Kansas City Regional Clean Cities and Central Kansas Clean Cities coalitions, both of which operate locally, and access and contribute to a nationwide network of peers; Mid-America Green Fleets, providing fleet technical assistance and coaching; Electrify Heartland, overseeing electric vehicle projects and programming, including to the general public; and Biodiesel Outreach and Training, providing informational resources to fleets and fuel retailers and providing training to college students. 442365 0 33256 Building Performance: Through our Building Performance projects and programmatic activities, Metropolitan Energy Center facilitates education, resource matchmaking and technical assistance to various constituencies, including municipal officials, residential homeowners and renters, commercial property managers and government agencies. The goal is to increase uptake of energy efficiency technologies and practices, increase compliance with municipal codes by property owners and managers, and help all of our constituencies to access available external funding sources. Our Energy Solutions Hub also provides healthy housing education and supports research related to understanding the impact of energy efficiency measures on human health. We reach homeowners, renters and the public generally through Project Living Proof, our demonstration home that tangibly illustrates sustainable building materials, xeriscaped lawns, and healthy homes education. It is also used for small business workforce development training in the energy and environment fields. 79773 0 640 Renewable Energy Program: The board authorized the development of a new Renewable Energy program. In 2024 we initiated a new service related to this program area. Our activities were limited to receiving crowdsourced donor funds for the purpose of disbursing to low-income-qualified homeowners participating in the Kansas City, Missouri, "Share the Sun" program, a sub-program of Solarize Kansas City. The funds were received as passthrough funds to support installation of solar photovoltaic systems for these homes. We participated in efforts to further develop this program for future years. 0 0 0 2612764 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X Kelly Gilbert 8168129772 300 E 39th St Kansas City MO 64111 Kelly Gilbert Executive Director 40 0 X 70240 0 9274 Rick Maniktala President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Eslun Tucker Vice President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Brian Parker Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Jared Williams Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Melissa Robinson Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Kim Ansari Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Christian Zirbel Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Gerald Shechter Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Manny Abarca IV Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Saxton Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 70240 0 9274 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS STAFFING SERVICES 1601 E 18th Street KANSAS CITY MO 64108 Staffing services 106989 1 0 0 0 0 2671043 79412 0 2750455 CONSULTATIONS 541900 164845 164845 0 0 PROJECT LIVING PROOF USAGE 900099 1650 1650 0 0 0 0 0 0 166495 8032 8032 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18 18 0 0 18 2925000 174545 0 0 1505619 1505619 0 0 0 0 0 0 79516 6739 72320 457 0 0 0 0 959468 772498 174191 12779 1515 0 1515 0 55991 55151 0 840 79302 61155 17521 626 0 0 0 0 7354 5049 2305 0 42419 0 42419 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 163761 125743 18018 20000 1028 0 1028 0 19020 5692 13328 0 19079 1256 17823 0 0 0 0 0 29548 3304 26244 0 15023 12434 2589 0 0 0 0 0 38879 24171 14708 0 576 0 576 0 0 0 0 0 17109 0 17109 0 21267 0 21267 0 BAD DEBT EXPENSE 33953 33953 0 0 3090427 2612764 442961 34702 -4709 138126 352397 115977 0 0 361561 964014 0 0 0 0 0 0 19072 21859 548374 255496 303986 292878 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3960 3960 1036267 1536814 205501 871474 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 205501 871474 X 829988 622227 778 43113 830766 665340 1036267 1536814 X -165427 0 0 0 0 1 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2001723 2312743 2296014 4548709 2750455 13909644 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2001723 2312743 2296014 4548709 2750455 13909644 2732963 11176681 1832 385 634 4918 8032 15801 0 0 0 0 0 0 586 133 85 537 18 1359 13926804 441488 0.80253 0.99899 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Vendor credit RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1749 0 0 1749 0 Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1 Lobbying activities provide expert opinion to persuade policymakers to pass or reject legislation that would substantially support or harm our ability to meet our mission. 12500 0 12500 462835 0 186205 276630 2155 0 1185 970 30022 0 27722 2300 40862 0 40384 478 292878 2924999 0 0 0 0 0 2924999 0 1 1 2925000 3090424 0 0 0 0 0 3090424 0 3 3 3090427 Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4b Rounding Schedule D, Part XII, Line 4b rounding 1 Water One 10747 Renner Road Lenexa KS 66219 486090842 103838 Recipient of funds to defray costs of electric-powered work vehicles for zero-emission operations.
