Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Our mission is to build majority support for public policies that create prosperity and opportunity for all North Carolinians. Through education and civic engagement, we seek a fair and just society where everyone can shape our collective future.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Advocate for public policies that bring prosperity and opportunity to all North Carolinians.

  • Issue Advocacy: MRNC communicated with over 1 million North Carolinians to promote awareness around key public policy issues. These issue advocacy campaigns informed North Carolinians across the state about state government.

    Expenses $4,155,249

  • Research and Surveys: MRNC conducted our annual statewide survey to look at how North Carolinians were perceiving various public policy issues. From those findings, 12 focus groups were held at various intervals throughout the year to dig deeper and further refine MRNC's understanding of North Carolinians.

    Expenses $718,903

  • Support to Ally Organizations: MRNC continued to make general support grants to ally organizations. In 2024, MRNC made four grants to four organizations that aligned with our organization's mission.

    Expenses $115,000 · Grants $115,000

  • Events: MRNC held four annual events including our two-day summit that brought together leaders from across the state in public affairs, business, and community efforts. Additionally, MRNC hosted two virtual events that gave attendees an opportunity to learn more about North Carolina's civic landscape.

    Expenses $98,744

  • Public Policy Development: MRNC launched its inaugural policy vision that lays out a framework for how leaders across North Carolina can work to build prosperity and opportunity for all North Carolinians. This framework has been shared in print and electronically to hundreds of state leaders.

    Expenses $32,273

  • Newsletter: MRNC continued to use its newsletter, sending 36 timely and insightful pieces to educate and inform our audience of happenings, insights, and other relevant updates about the group's work. Additionally, this served as a way to distribute our public policy vision for the state.

    Expenses $7,480

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
