Mission and programs · 2024

• The Camden Conference is a nonprofit organization providing a non-partisan community forum fostering in-depth discussion of world issues through year-round events and an annual February conference. An annual 3-day conference held each February in Camden focuses on a different topic each year. Now in its 39th year, the Conference has become a Maine tradition that offers an opportunity to learn from and engage with leading experts on vital global issues. The Camden Conference is primarily volunteer-driven with two paid staff and relies on volunteers who create and sustain its year-round programs and the Conference weekend.The 2025 Camden Conference was held live from the Camden Opera House and also live-streamed to venues in Rockland and Portland as well as to homes and classrooms around the world. The Camden Conference also offers a robust program of free community events throughout the year offered to live and virtual audiences and the organization offers both high school and college student education programs throughout the year based on the annual conference theme.

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.

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.
