Two Ways to Give

Power Clean Energy

SolarWAVE Action pursues its mission through two channels — direct advocacy and research and education. Both move clean energy forward; choose the path that fits how you want your gift to work.

501(c)(4) · Policy & Advocacy
SolarWAVE Action

Fuel Our Advocacy

Support for SolarWAVE Action's policy research and development, legislative testimony, and direct advocacy.

  • Funds data-driven policy analysis and drafting that legislators and regulators actually use
  • Builds legal and technical arguments for clean energy policies
  • Supports coalitions that amplify the voice of the clean energy community
Not tax-deductible

Contributions to SolarWAVE Action are not tax-deductible for federal income tax purposes.

501(c)(3) · Research & Education

Support Research and Education

Fund public research and education on clean energy and grid policy through the SolarWAVE Action Research & Public Education Initiative. Our fiscal sponsor, the American Solar Energy Society (ASES), is a national network of 39 chapters, including 14 student chapters — though gifts made here are restricted to this Initiative alone.

  • Supports transparent research and education on clean energy
  • Educates communities across California on our research findings
  • Gifts to this program are made directly to ASES, which serves as fiscal sponsor for the SolarWAVE Action Research & Public Education Initiative and retains discretion over how contributed funds are used in furtherance of its exempt purposes
Tax-deductible

Contributions are made to the American Solar Energy Society (ASES), a 501(c)(3) organization, and are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
