Mission

Elevate Energy's mission is to design and implement efficiency programs that lower costs, protect the environment, and ensure the benefits of energy efficiency reach those who need them most.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4

“The Articles of Incorporation and bylaws were modified to evidence the organizational restructuring of the board that resulted in Elevate Energy becoming a self-controlling entity separate from Center for Neighborhood Technology, a 501(c)(3) organization. Specifically, Elevate was restructured from a membership organization with Center for Neighborhood Technology as the sole member to a non-member corporation with a self-perpetuating board of directors”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“The 990 was reviewed by the Director of Finance along with the Chief Executive Officer/Board Member. The 990 was then provided to the full Board for a final review and their approval.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“The Board reaffirms the Organization's conflict of interest policy annually when each member completes a conflict of interest disclosure form.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“An annual review of the Chief Executive Officer is performed by the independent officers of the board. The chairperson of the board provides a written report to the board to substantiate compensation, duties and goals for the coming year. The Chief Executive Officer conducts the annual performance review for all other officers and key employees.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available upon request.”
