Mission and programs · 2024
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 stage 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 $253,555 · Grants $5,500
-
Water: MVCC is committed to protecting our waterways from pollution and overdevelopment. We advocate ensuring there is enough clean, cold, clear water for fish, animals, and people throughout the year. We continue to work with Okanogan County to uphold the Methow Rule and collaborate with the Department of Ecology and the Methow Watershed Council. Additionally, we collaborate with the Okanogan Conservation District to advance drought planning.
Expenses $236,029
-
Air: The Clean Air Methow program has tremendous value in monitoring air quality through 32 Purple Air sensors, reducing PM2.5 particulates in the air through our wood smoke reduction program in partnership with WA Department of Ecology replacing old, uncertified wood stoves and replacing them with cleaner burning devices and through a far reaching educational program helping residents become Smoke Ready and protect their indoor air quality in time of smoke incursions.
Expenses $108,374

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.
