As a result of successful campaign strategies, a focused policy agenda and sharp accountability tools, we are building Maine's environmental movement into a powerful force. MCV programs include an annual environmental scorecard on Maine legislators, a governor's report card, education and advocacy at the state house and community engagement. 0 0 1539843 200000 659355 Climate and Environmental Advocacy: In 2022, MCV worked with state lawmakers, allies, and community leaders to advance state and federal environmental policy goals and implement the state's Climate Action Plan. Grounded in science and community and developed through a collaborative, whole-of-government process, Maine Won't Wait positions our state as a climate action leader. At the two-year mark, Maine had already made significant strides, and a recent report shows that the State's goals of reducing carbon pollution by 80% and using 100% renewable energy by 2050 are now well within reach. To name some of the progress: Maine buildings are transitioning to cleaner heating and cooling systems; there is a new fleet of electric buses; and more carbon capturing forests have been permanently protected through the Land for Maine's Future program. Our primary strategies for advocacy work in 2022 included mobilizing key constituencies, implementing earned media and digital campaigns, and organizing high-impact events. Holding Maine's elected officials accountable: Since 1986, MCV's annual Environmental Scorecard has provided Maine people with factual information about the most important environmental legislation considered in Maine's State House. Our Scorecard has become the standard bearer to determine the environmental record of all members of the Maine State Legislature. We score the votes on the most important issues of the year, including energy, climate change, clean water, public health, and land conservation. In 2022, we distributed the Environmental Scorecard in both a print and online format.Educating the public: Our virtual Lunch & Learn series is grounded in our commitment to continuous learning as the foundation for meaningful civic engagement and transformational change. In 2022, our weekly Lunch & Learns featured engaging conversations on a wide range of topics, from environmental and climate priorities to innovative technologies and intersectional movements for change. Democracy for All: The health of Maine's environment and our communities and the health of our democracy are inextricably linked. Those most impacted by the climate crisis are also facing the greatest barriers to voting. Achieving meaningful progress on climate change will be more difficult without an equitable democracy that works for everyone. In 2022, our Democracy for All campaign worked for increased access to the ballot and expanded voting rights for all communities through the implementation of Automatic Voter Registration and Online Voter Registration. 1539843 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 16 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 X MAUREEN DROUIN 2076208811 295 WATER STREET SUITE 9 AUGUSTA ME 04330 Penny Asherman Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Boland Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Lee Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brad Coffey Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Melville President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Russell Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Mae Simpson Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lucas St Clair Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Brown Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Tom Kittredge Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Marpheen Chann Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Maureen Drouin Executive Director 40.00 X 121008 0 7278 121008 0 7278 1 0 0 0 0 50502 710362 760864 8083 8083 10284 10598 -314 -314 -314 15125 50502 15125 0 Reimbursement income 561000 659355 659355 659355 1427988 659355 0 7769 200000 200000 128286 124510 2566 1210 698026 675163 14018 8845 19990 19384 406 200 91073 89252 1821 65026 63075 1301 650 11388 11388 5750 5750 100469 93238 4097 3134 97184 97029 155 4323 4008 263 52 45443 43983 912 548 9878 9722 17 139 270 270 3426 3357 69 Telephone and internet 50820 46754 3453 613 Miscellaneous 35204 28950 267 5987 Printing & publications 26451 8869 982 16600 Postage 21745 5257 705 15783 27782 27292 308 182 1642534 1539843 48748 53943 483182 288979 49033 85948 8448 1213 270 0 943 552295 521378 0 25284 1092958 922532 41414 60250 0 25284 41414 85534 X 546434 611998 505110 225000 1051544 836998 1092958 922532 -214546 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 200000 200000 200000 1 MAINE CONSERVATION VOTERS ACTION FUND 295 WATER STREET AUGUSTA ME 04330 010536637 200000 Part I-A, Line 1: The Organization made a contribution to MCV Action Fund (EIN: 01-0536637), a political organization exempt from taxation under IRC section 527, for the purpose of electing public officials who want to protect clean water, clean air, and beautiful landscapes, and who support sensible solutions to climate change. 1213 270 943 943 Operating lease liability 25284 25284 1443113 15125 15125 1427988 0 1427988 1657659 15125 15125 1642534 0 1642534 Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Fundraising contributions included on Part VIII line 8a Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Fundraising event expenses reported on Part VIII line 8b Evening for the Environment 65627 50502 15125 15125 65627 50502 15125 15125 15125 0 0 MAINE CONVERSATION VOTERS ACTION FUND 295 WATER STREET AUGUSTA ME 04330 010536637 200000 0 LOBBYING FOR ELECTION OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS 1 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b MCV Board Treasurer circulated the 990 to the full board of directors on by email, and included it as an agenda item at the November 2023 MCV Board Meeting.
