Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Maine Conservation Voters plays a critical role in turning public support for conservation into new laws to protect our air, land, water and wildlife. As a result of successful strategies, a focused policy agenda and sharp accountability tools, we are building Maine's environmental movement into a powerful force. MCV programs include an annual environmental scorecard on Maine legislators, a governor's evaluation, education and advocacy at the state house and community engagement.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Maine Conversation Voters is building a just, thriving future for all by acting on the climate crisis, protecting the environment, and safeguarding our democracy.

  • Climate and Environmental Advocacy: MCV worked with state lawmakers, allies, and community leaders to advance state and federal environmental policy goals and implement the state's Climate Action Plan. Our primary strategies for advocacy work included mobilizing key constituencies, implementing earned media and digital campaigns, and organizing high-impact events. Holding Maine's officials accountable: Since 1986, MCV's annual Environmental Scorecard has provided Maine people with factual information about the most important environmental legislation considered in Maine's State House. Our Scorecard has become the standard bearer to determine the (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION) environmental record of all members of the Maine State Legislature. We score the votes on the most important issues of the year, including energy, climate change, clean water, public health, and land conservation. In 2024, we distributed the Environmental Scorecard in both a print and online format.Educating the public: Our educational Lunch & Learn series is grounded in our commitment to continuous learning as the foundation for meaningful civic engagement and transformational change. In 2024, our regular Lunch & Learns featured engaging conversations on a wide range of environmental, climate, and democracy topics.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
