Mission and programs · 2024

• ESPC WORKS TO ENSURE WE ALL HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE IN OUR REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY THROUGH EMPOWERING WYOMING CITIZENS WITH INFORMATION, TOOLS, AND SKILLS THAT BETTER ENABLE THEIR PARTICIPATION IN WYOMINGS GOVERNMENT, ENSURING REPRESENTATION, HONESTY, AND RESPECT FOR THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF ALL EQUALITY STATE COMMUNITIES. A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF ESPC'S WORK IS TO ENSURE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION THROUGH VOTE WY BY INFORMING VOTERS OF IMPORTANT ELECTION DATES, THE VALUE OF THEIR VOTE, AND CURRENT VOTER AND ELECTIONS RELATED LAWS IN WYOMING. ESPC ALSO ASSESSES PROPOSED ALTERATIONS TO ELECTIONS RELATED POLICIES AND OFFERS EXPERT GUIDANCE TO DECISION MAKERS, FOCUSING ON HOW THESE POLICIES COULD AFFECT WYOMINGITES FROM CITIZEN VOTERS TO THOSE WHO HELP RUN SECURE, FREE, AND HONEST STATE ELECTIONS. ESPC PROVIDES VOTE WYOMING EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS IN BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH. THE CHAIR PROJECT TARGETS CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND VOTER EDUCATION AMONG UNDERREPRESENTED, PARTICULARLY HISPANIC AND LATINO IN 2024, COMMUNITIES IN WYOMING THROUGH COMMUNITY EVENTS LIKE CAPITAL COLLABORATION DAY, WYOMING IN ACTION, AND VIVA LA IGUALDAD. ESPC ENCOURAGES UNDERREPRESENTED WYOMINGITES TO PARTICIPATE AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, FROM VOTING IN ELECTIONS TO CONVERSING WITH LAWMAKERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALA. ESPC HOSTS TRAININGS SUCH AS SHAPE WY AND RUN WY, ALONG WITH EDUCATIONAL WEBINARS ON ISSUES IMPORTANT TO WYOMINGITES THROUGH PEOPLES REVIEW LIVE AND CO-HOSTING PROGRAMS LIKE TAX FACTS LUNCH AND LEARN. IN ADDITION, ESPC COMPILES RESEARCH AND WORKS TO SAFEGUARD POLICIES THAT FOSTER TRUST, ACCOUNTABILITY, FAIR PROCESS AND PARTICIPATION IN WYOMINGS GOVERNMENT. OUR REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY WORKS BEST WHEN IT IS INCLUSIVE OF THE DIVERSITY OF ITS CITIZENRY AND STRIVES TO BE RESPONSIVE AND ACCOUNTABLE TO THOSE IT SEEKS TO GOVERN EQUITABLY.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
