WE ADDRESS IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING MONTANA INCLUDING PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT, ADVANCING CLEAN ENERGY, EMPOWERING YOUNG VOTERS, AND DEFENDING CONSUMER RIGHTS. IN 2023-2024, MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND EDUCATED DOZENS OF STUDENT LEADERS WHO KNOCKED ON THOUSANDS OF DOORS TO TALK ABOUT THE HEALTH OF MONTANA WATER, SOIL, AND AIR. STUDENTS EMPOWERED OTHERS BY HELPING THEM REGISTER TO VOTE, EDUCATING THEM, AND TURNING THEM OUT TO PARTICIPATE IN ELECTIONS. VOTER ENGAGEMENT REGISTERING TO VOTE IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS TO BECOMING CIVICALLY ENGAGED AND, ACCORDINGLY, ONE OF MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND'S MOST IMPORTANT GOALS IS ITS YEARLY VOTER REGISTRATION GOAL. EACH SEMESTER, OUR TEAMS WORK TO MAKE ACCESS TO REGISTERING TO VOTE AS EASY AND ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE. WORKING THROUGHOUT THE MISSOULA AND BOZEMAN COMMUNITIES, WE HELP THE THOUSANDS OF FREQUENTLY MOVING YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE AS MUCH OPPORTUNITY AS POSSIBLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE. BY DIRECTLY LINKING CANDIDATES WITH STUDENTS, MOBILIZING STUDENT VOTER TURNOUT, AND EQUIPPING YOUNG PEOPLE WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO CAST THEIR BALLOTS EFFECTIVELY, WE FACILITATED INFORMED PARTICIPATION IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS. THROUGH ON-CAMPUS INFORMATIONAL EVENTS, CANDIDATE FORUMS, AND RALLIES, WE HELPED YOUNG FOLKS PREPARE TO CAST THEIR VOTES. WHILE LOCAL GOVERNMENT MAY SEEM DISTANT TO MANY YOUNG VOTERS, WE RECOGNIZE THAT LOCAL DECISION-MAKERS OFTEN HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON INDIVIDUALS' DAILY LIVES, MAKING IT IMPERATIVE TO CONNECT YOUNG AND FIRST-TIME VOTERS WITH THESE OFFCIALS TO AMPLIFY YOUTHFUL VOICES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. IN 2022, MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND ALSO ENGAGED MONTANANS ABOUT THE 2022 LEGISLATIVE REDISTRICTING PROCESS. WE PARTNERED WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE NEED FOR FAIR LEGISLATIVE MAPS THAT DO NOT TIP THE SCALES IN FAVOR OF ONE POLITICAL PARTY OR ANOTHER. WE HELD INFORMATION SESSIONS, MADE PHONE CALLS, AND TURNED OUT CITIZENS TO SPEAK OUT AT REGIONAL PUBLIC HEARINGS. IN ALL, WE INFORMED HUNDREDS OF MONTANANS ABOUT THIS CRITICAL PROCESS AND EMPOWERED DOZENS TO SPEAK UP FOR FAIR REPRESENTATION. STANDING UP FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE SUMMER OF 2024, MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND ENGAGED IN SIGNATURE GATHERING AND CANVASSING EFFORTS TO HELP BAN CERTAIN PLASTIC PRODUCTS FROM BOZEMAN AND MISSOULA. THIS WAS AN EFFORT TO KEEP PLASTICS OUT OF OUR WATER AND ENVIRONMENT. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AT THE CORE OF MONTPIRG LEADERSHIP FUND'S MISSION LIES A COMMITMENT TO LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. RECOGNIZING THE ROLE YOUNG LEADERS PLAY ACROSS SOCIETY, OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO EMPOWER THESE INDIVIDUALS WITH THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE TO ADVOCATE EFFECTIVELY FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. THIS YEAR, WE CONDUCTED INTENSIVE TRAINING SESSIONS FOR COHORTS OF INTERNS IN BOZEMAN AND MISSOULA, FOCUSING ON A DIVERSE RANGE OF SKILLS SUCH AS FUNDRAISING, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING (INCLUDING DOOR KNOCKING AND PHONE CALLING), WRITTEN COMMUNICATION (INCLUDING LETTER WRITING), PUBLIC SPEAKING, EVENT COORDINATION, AND PEER-TO-PEER OUTREACH. IN ADDITION TO OUR INTERN PROGRAM, WE ACTIVELY ENGAGE VOLUNTEERS WHO COLLABORATE WITH INTERNS AND STAFF TO CULTIVATE THESE PROFICIENCIES AND DRIVE MEANINGFUL CHANGE. CRUCIALLY, PARTICIPANTS GAIN HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE BY ADDRESSING PRESSING PROJECTS AND ISSUES DIRECTLY IMPACTING BOTH THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AMPLIFYING THEIR IMPACT AND ENHANCING THEIR LEADERSHIP CAPABILITIES. 62074 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X SALLY HENSEL CPA PC 4065427001 2825 STOCKYARD RD UNIT I-1 MISSOULA MT 59808 CB PEARSON CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DENVER HENDERSON VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 COLLEEN MARTIN WARD TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SOPHIE MOON SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JACKIE SLOVAK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HUNTER LOSING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (FORMER) 20.00 20.00 X 0 59616 0 0 59616 0 0 0 0 0 0 168725 168725 168725 0 0 0 100120 62074 28034 10012 38 38 100158 62074 28072 10012 155949 224516 155949 224516 0 0 X 155949 224516 155949 224516 155949 224516 68567 0 X 0 0 0 X 98611 159786 84881 228319 168725 740322 98611 159786 84881 228319 168725 740322 181982 558340 740322 0.75420 0.90810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEW THE 990 BEFORE IT IS FILED.
