We do this work by championing broad protections for mountain lions and their habitats across the United States, fostering appreciation of mountain lions and the ecological significance, and cultivating proactive, community-based coexistence for people and lions. false false 520199 Protection - The Mountain Lion Foundation cultivates proactive, community-based coexistence for the protection of both people and lions. We work in communities across the United States to highlight the fact that living with lions is not just possible, but simple. The Mountain Lion Foundation provides information, tools, and advice about protecting lions to a range of people families, farmers and ranchers, state agency personnel, journalists, rural decision makers, and more to help communities live peacefully among lions, address cougar encounters as they occur, and give mountain lions everything they need to flourish. In fiscal year 2022-2023, the Mountain Lion Foundation responded with pro-protection information and advice to many dozens of incidents across the country such as lion sightings, suspected depredations, and lion mortalities. We also disseminated information to hobby farmers and other members of the producer community that helped them coexist peacefully with their lion neighbors. Public Outreach and Communication The Mountain Lion Foundation fosters appreciation of mountain lions and their ecological significance. Mountain lions are an indispensable keystone species. However, like many top carnivores, mountain lions suffer from some widely held, but false and harmful misconceptions. Our educational outreach dispels those myths and misinformation and helps people to see mountain lions as a vital apex species deserving preservation rather than exploitation. In fiscal year 2022-2023, the Mountain Lion Foundation rebuilt its outreach and communications tools from the ground up, revitalizing, refocusing and growing our social media impact; relaunching our monthly webinar series, Living With Lions; improving our websites accessibility and functionality; and completely redesigning our print and email newsletters. The result was increased engagement on all channels plus national media coverage about the importance of protecting mountain lions and their habitats. Advocacy The Mountain Lion Foundation champions broad protections for mountain lions across the United States. Working with policymakers at the local, state, and federal levels, we empower our members and partners to advocate for strong protection for mountain lions and their habitats. From supporting measures that reduce human-wildlife conflict to pushing for stronger, more science-based regulations on hunting and trapping, we are on the front lines, making pro-lion voices heard. In fiscal year 2022-2023, the Mountain Lion Foundation and its members and partners advocated for proactive, science-based protections for mountain lions in almost every western state. For example, in California we advocated successfully for the passage of legislation to ban certain rodenticides, which had been found in wild lion populations. In Utah, we worked to oppose new legislation that opened up unlimited lion hunting that law is now in effect, and we explored and eventually launched a lawsuit to oppose it. 520199 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA MT NE NV OR SD UT WA X BOOKKEEPER 9164422666 PO BOX 1896 SACRAMENTO CA 95812 DEBRA CHASE FORMER EXEC DIR 40.00 0.00 X 58098 0 2739 BRENT LYLES EXECUTIVE DIR 40.00 0.00 X 19875 0 937 BOB MCCOY BOARD CHAIR 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRUCE RYLANDER Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DR DONALD MOLDE Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DR CHRIS TROMBORG VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH SULLIVAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TOBY COOPER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM SANDERSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FAUNA TOMLINSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 77973 3676 0 false false false 0 721095 721095 0 38500 38500 0 0 0 309549 336598 -27049 -27049 -27049 0 0 0 OTHER REVENUE 900099 2297 2297 2297 734843 2297 11451 0 0 0 0 81649 24495 48989 8165 0 357006 330682 14922 11402 0 16832 15591 704 537 39735 32344 5637 1754 0 5000 5000 35059 33942 1117 3000 3000 0 0 10454 99 150 10205 0 21323 14670 2229 4424 0 0 32856 27347 3875 1634 20124 19488 254 382 0 4510 3517 407 586 0 0 1439 1439 4604 3592 414 598 Printing and Publications 29238 14640 3 14595 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 12410 10102 1760 548 Postage and Shipping 6827 4039 251 2537 PROGRAM EXPENSES 6529 6029 500 11879 5564 5495 820 700474 520199 120471 59804 784274 678675 0 37741 175866 0 0 0 0 0 9169 6713 6713 1439 0 1656485 1795095 0 0 0 3610 63114 2483549 2721919 24339 36880 61308 24339 98188 X 2311949 2325365 147261 298366 2459210 2623731 2483549 2721919 34369 146515 -16363 X false true X true false X 1305589 1366758 1075563 663877 721095 5132882 0 0 1305589 1366758 1075563 663877 721095 5132882 1502424 3630458 21048 26019 468816 -170775 141603 486711 2905 729 3634 3667 3667 5626894 39985 0.64520 0.62680 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 3000 3000 697474 700474 130071 32518 false 117994 133818 147639 130071 529522 794283 24594 38500 3000 66094 29499 33455 36910 32518 132382 198573 895776 92348 988124 1053119 -157343 895776 983085 81584 11550 1053119 999432 2653 4325 14675 983085 459357 500000 40075 999432 0.88000 0.12000 false false false 6713 6713 LEASES PAYABLE 61308 61308 X 864995 146515 146515 718480 16363 16363 734843 700474 700474 700474 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
