CLIMATE IMPERATIVE FOUNDATION
From this organization's IRS returns — and their limits
Figures are by tax year (the organization's fiscal year), filed 1–2 years after the fact; 2019 onward, e-filed returns only. Donors are not public: the IRS redacts them, and since 2020 social-welfare groups, unions and trade associations do not even give their names to the IRS. What you can see is who this organization paid or granted to, and — when the funder was itself a foundation or nonprofit that reported the grant — who funded it. Grants under $5,000 are not itemized on a 990. Officer pay below is pay from this organization only. All of its returns: ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer ↗
