What the amendment changed

Compared with the latest return for 2024 , filed 13 February 2026. matched by us Only the return's totals, a 990-PF's accounting method and the names listed in Part VII (Part VIII on a 990-PF) are compared. We relate returns by organization, tax year and form, and order them by each return's own timestamp; the filer's own "amended return" checkbox is a separate fact.

Those are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

In 2024, MCA continued to prioritize public education, collaboration, and advocacy to advance bold and ambitious climate action, a fair clean energy transition, an accessible democracy, and the protection of our natural resources.Civic Engagement: It is our belief that the more Maine people get involved in the decisions affecting their communities, the better our future will be for everyone. Increasing the number of Mainers who are civically engaged remained a core part of our strategy to promote a healthy environment.Partnerships: The majority of our programming is designed to create a stronger and more unified movement for climate action, conservation, and a healthy democracy in Maine. The relationships that have been built and nurtured through our collaborative work have resulted in more information sharing, new partnerships, added trust, and a sense of camaraderie among diverse organizations.
