FY2025 Impact Report
A Letter from CET’s CEO & President
Dear friends and partners,
As we share this annual report, we do so with urgency, optimism—and admittedly, some relief that 2025 is over. It was a challenging year for climate work, but with adversity often comes clarity, and as the federal government pivoted policy and funding away from climate action, CET became increasingly focused on helping people to cut through the noise, chaos, and scarcity of this moment and to take meaningful action.
Our work is rooted in the belief that climate action becomes possible at scale when we make it radically easy for people and organizations to act.

We know that people want to reduce emissions, cut waste, improve efficiency, and adopt cleaner technologies. But intention alone isn’t enough because climate solutions often ask households, businesses, and communities to navigate unfamiliar information, multiple vendors, incentive rules, operational changes, and administrative steps. Without the right support, climate action can feel daunting before it ever becomes doable.
That is why radical ease is central to CET’s approach. We help carry complexity on behalf of the people and organizations we serve. Across our programs and partnerships, we simplify decision pathways, reduce administrative and logistical burdens, connect participants with practical resources, and provide guidance from first interest through follow-through. Our goal is to make the better choice clearer, simpler, and more achievable.
The stories and results in this report show radical ease in practice. From waste reduction to building decarbonization, from technical assistance to community partnerships, CET works at the point where ambition meets real life. We help translate big climate goals into concrete next steps, remove friction from the process of adoption, and make sustained action possible for more people, businesses, and communities.
We are grateful to the partners, funders, clients, community leaders, and staff who made this work possible. Your collaboration helps move climate action from daunting to doable, turning concern into participation, participation into measurable progress, and measurable progress into the systems change needed for a lower-carbon future.
As you read this annual report, we invite you to see not only what has been accomplished, but how it was accomplished: by designing programs, partnerships, and support systems around the realities of people’s lives and operations. Together, we can continue to remove barriers, center ease, and make climate action more accessible, equitable, and effective.
Sincerely,
Ashley Muspratt
President & CEO

Financial Contributions
Revenue by Funder Type
CET is strategically positioned with diversified sources of revenue, including corporate funding, contracted revenue from utility companies, state, and federal agencies, and foundation support.
This diversification affords CET the ability to remain innovative and adaptive to changing conditions.
In 2024, CET wound down the retail operation, which was a cost center for the organization, and benefited from our multi-year, multi-million-dollar investments in internal capacity building and technology upgrades to sustain organizational growth.
