It is a nonpartisan nonprofit public policy educational organization, which builds citizen participation in the democratic process; studies key community issues at all government levels in an unbiased manner; and enables people to seek positive solutions to public policy issues through education and conflict management. During this reporting period, the LWVME Education Fund's highlights include conducting door to door canvassing to inform and register voters in low propensity voting neighborhoods, providing non-partisan voter and election information, including information for new voters in ten languages, hosting public information webinars on a range of civic topics, and providing strategic leadership to a coalition of organizations supporting accessible elections and sound election administration. The cornerstone of our work was our nonpartisan Election Observation program: volunteers and staff deployed in all 16 Maine counties conducted a total of 140 detailed polling place observations on November 8 2022. And the League's voter hotline provided real-time help to voters around the state from September through Election Day. 528010 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X Nadya Mullen co LWVME EF 2076220256 PO Box 18187 Portland ME 04112 X Pamela Cox President 1.50 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Susana Hancock Vice President 1.50 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Ann Luther Treasurer 1.50 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Melissa Murphy Secretary 1.50 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Ellen Dohmen Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Maya Eichorn Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Gaines Director 1.00 1.50 X 0 0 0 Rick Lyles Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alex Newell Taylor Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Abdikhadar Shire Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alison Smith Director 1.00 1.50 X 0 0 0 Jill Ward Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tobin Williamson Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Genese Left in FY23 Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Hafford Left in FY23 Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lillias Martin Left in FY23 Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jamie Kilbreth Left in FY23 Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Polly Ward Left in FY23 Director 1.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Kellar Executive Director 23.00 17.00 X 0 76025 10605 0 76025 10605 0 0 0 0 0 269135 316127 9222 585262 585262 0 0 0 195500 195500 34371 22754 843 10774 214785 205327 5166 4292 4987 3491 150 1346 26026 18218 781 7027 19979 18281 483 1215 1040 1040 33529 32654 875 2884 2884 26711 20515 330 5866 3880 638 3242 4288 4288 6600 3971 2629 602 602 897 628 27 242 4593 4593 In-kind 9222 9222 Telephone 2902 2902 Miscellaneous 1506 1438 68 Dues, fees and membersh 1346 77 561 708 2125 1032 1073 20 597773 528010 29051 40712 35263 16594 1153 1153 897 0 36160 16594 17975 10920 17975 10920 X -52952 -63560 71137 69234 18185 5674 36160 16594 -12511 0 X 0 0 0 X 19779 287488 419059 274885 585262 1586473 19779 287488 419059 274885 585262 1586473 44542 1541931 1586473 0.97190 0.90560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 56078 81456 66181 203715 305573 14020 20364 16548 50932 76398 1153 1153 0 0 Funds held for others 2725 Credit card payable 8195 10920 1 Maine Citizens for Clean Elections PO Box 18187 Portland ME 04112 272646667 501c3 195500 0 Education 1 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Executive Director and the Treasurer of the Board of Directors reviews a draft form and suggests changes if necessary before approving the filing of the return.
