Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Minnesota Trout Unlimited's (MNTU's) primary exempt purpose is to advocate and work to protect, conserve and restore Minnesota's coldwater rivers and lakes and the trout and salmon that live in them.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To advocate and work to protect, conserve and restore Minnesota's coldwater rivers and lakes.

  • MNTU undertakes numerous habitat projects which directly restore, enhance, and reconnect habitat for trout and other species in and along coldwater rivers, streams, and lakes in Minnesota. MNTU contracts for this work. Habitat was restored on 4 miles of trout stream around the state during the fiscal year. MNTU also worked with partners to remove 4 fish passage barriers in the Lake Superior basin, reconnecting 4 miles of habitat for native brook trout. MNTU runs an education program in participating Minnesota schools to engage students in classroom and outdoor learning focused on water quality, groundwater, aquatic life, and watershed stewardship. MNTU contracts for this educational work, including program management. More than 3,000 students were involved in watershed education. Each March MNTU presents the Great Waters Fly Fishing Expo at Hamline university. Over 2,000 people and 50 vendors attend the Expo to learn about the latest issues in conservation, how and where to enjoy trout fishing and how they can get involved in protecting those resources. MNTU contracts for professional services related to organizational development and grant writing. MNTU publishes a printed newsletter aimed at communicating organizational accomplishments, increasing membership engagement, and educating members and non-members on priority topics in coldwater conservation.

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.
