Mission and programs · 2024

• VOTER EDUCATION AND STATE LEGISLATIVE SESSION:MCV PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MONTANA'S LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. EACH LEGISLATIVE SESSION, WE MEET WITH LEGISLATORS AND SERVE AS A RESOURCE TO THEM ON CONSERVATION, ENERGY, AND DEMOCRACY ISSUES. AS THE CONVENER OF THE CONSERVATION WORKING GROUP WITH OUR SISTER ORGANIZATION, THE MCV EDUCATION FUND, MCV LEADS THE CONSERVATION COMMUNITY'S EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT ELECTED LEADERS UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES, HEAR THE CONCERNS OF MONTANANS AND KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING IN ALIGNMENT WITH MCV'S PRIORITIES. DURING THE SESSION, WE ALSO LEAD EFFORTS TO EDUCATE AND MOBILIZE MONTANANS ON OUR POLICY PRIORITIES. AFTER THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION CONCLUDES, MCV RELEASES ITS ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD TO CELEBRATE MONTANA'S CONSERVATION AND DEMOCRACY CHAMPIONS AND HOLD ALL OTHERS ACCOUNTABLE. DURING OFF-SESSION YEARS, MCV FOLLOWS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS THROUGH THE REGULATORY PROCESS AND PROVIDES COMMENTS TO AGENCIES AND OTHER DECISION MAKERS WHEN RELEVANT. WE EDUCATE VOTERS ON THE RECORDS OF CANDIDATES IN ELECTIONS AT EVERY LEVEL BY ENDORSING CANDIDATES THAT ALIGN WITH OUR VALUES AND DISSEMINATING ENDORSEMENT GUIDES TO OUR SUPPORTERS.

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.
