Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE MISSION OF THE METHOW VALLEY CITIZENS COUNCIL IS TO RAISE A STRONG COMMUNITY VOICE FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE METHOW VALLEYS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND RURAL CHARACTER.

  • Land Use: MVCCs early work on land use planning set the state for the Methow Valleys low-density development and considerable open space. In 2023, MVCC continued to engage our members, volunteers, and the community at large in land use planning from Okanogan Countys regulatory framework to state and federal policies affecting our public lands, engaging in efforts to improve Okanogan Countys comprehensive plan and working to improve forestry and management on national forest lands.

    Expenses $198,433

  • Water: MVCC is committed to protecting our waterways from pollution and over development. We advocate ensuring there is enough clean, cold, clear water for fish, animals, and people throughout the year. In 2023 we continued to work to uphold the Methow Rule by working with the Department of Ecology. The Methow Valley Citizens Council also continues to work with community organizations to advance drought planning.

    Expenses $184,717

  • Air: The Clean Air Methow program has tremendous value in identifying the areas valley residents can improve air quality by following best practices such as clean home heating, using alternatives to outdoor burning, and responsibly conducting prescribed burning. We manage a collection of 32 low-cost Purple Air air quality sensors with businesses, schools, individuals, and towns throughout the Methow Valley, from Lost River Airport outside Mazama to Prairie Flats near the town of Methow. In 2023, MVCC continued to expand the woodstove exchange program and ran a communication campaign throughout Okanogan County in regard to Smoke Readiness.

    Expenses $84,813

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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.
