We harness the power of science, the law, and the voices of more than 25,000 members, supporters, and activists to secure the most effective safeguards for Maine's environment and communities. Our five programs are Climate & Clean Energy; Forests & Wildlife; Healthy Waters; Sustainable Maine; and Washington Watch/Federal Policy. 0 0 412107 0 0 Climate & Clean Energy: NRCM is a leader in advocating for policies to reduce the threat of climate change and promote renewable energy. We are working with state officials and agencies, scientists and technical experts, legislators, community leaders, state and national environmental organizations, and many other allies to build momentum for deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and a rapid transition to a clean energy grid that powers Maine's businesses, homes, transportation, and heating systems. 426739 0 0 Communications: NRCM communicates with our members, supporters, policy makers, and the public using email updates, single-issue reports, direct mail, radio, videos, social media, and our website. The wide range of tools we regularly use advances our mission and helps to meet the goals of our programs. 281189 0 0 Outreach: NRCM's grassroots outreach team engages our supporters and the public using a diverse array of tools. In addition to providing strategic outreach for our advocacy programs and issue campaigns, we focus on values-based, transformational organizing and leadership development to protect Maine's environment. With increased staff capacity in Franklin County, we are committed to building lasting relationships and partnerships with individuals and local organizations across that region. Through our digital outreach, NRCM communicates with our members, supporters, policy makers, and the public using email updates and calls to action, virtual and in-person meetings and events, and social media to advance our mission and meet the goals of our advocacy programs. Through NRCM Rising, we engage people in their 20s-40s around issues important to Maine's next generation of environmental leaders, while also providing networking with peers and leadership development to build Maine's environmental movement. 1194801 0 0 Sustainable Maine: Tapping into the state's strong tradition of local action, NRCM takes a practical, collaborative approach to addressing environmental problems faced by Maine people, businesses, and communities, particularly in demonstrating how to prevent and better manage waste. NRCM seeks to achieve systemic changes in policies and practices at the local and state levels to reduce the environmental impacts of daily living. NRCM has helped achieve many first-in-the-nation policies to reduce plastic, packaging, and difficult-to-manage materials and works to ensure that corporations responsible for generating waste become part of the solution for recycling, reduced packaging, and design changes in products. Healthy Waters: NRCM plays a critical role in preventing pollution to Maine waterways and advocating for policies to improve the health of our rivers, lakes, and streams, as well as the communities, wildlife, and fisheries that depend upon those waters. NRCM focuses on removal of obsolete dams that block fish migration, toxic pollution such as mineral mining, and watchdogging permit applications and policy proposals that could threaten Maine waters. State House Advocacy : NRCM is the state's leading environmental advocate at the State House, using its policy advocates and outreach staff to track and influence dozens of bills each legislative session. NRCM drafts legislation and amendments, testifies before multiple committees, works with coalitions on legislative strategies, and provides direct support to elected officials as they seek passage of important legislative proposals across a range of issues. Washington Watch: Decisions made in Washington, D.C., have lasting effects on Maine's clean air and water, thriving forests and wildlife, and on the health of Maine people, its economy, and its way of life. NRCM works directly with Maine's Congressional delegation and with a broad coalition of national environmental organizations and in-state allies to help ensure that policy decisions in Washington contribute to the protection of Maine's environment. Forests & Wildlife: NRCM works to protect Maine's natural areas, wildlife habitat, and the undeveloped character and unique resources of Maine's North Woods. We support responsible land development and sustainable forest practices that protect sensitive ecosystems and habitat. We also advocate for increased public ownership of Maine lands to improve access to the natural world for Maine people and visitors. While development pressures and the loss of public access continue to intensify, NRCM remains a leading voice for balancing economic development in Maine's North Woods with conservation. 1194801 0 0 2314836 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 35 0 1 34 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 23 23 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CT MA ME NH PA X X KATHRYN Hyttel 2076223101 3 WADE STREET AUGUSTA ME 04330 LISA POHLMANN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40 0 X 93805 0 34010 KATHRYN HYTTEL DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 40 0 X 82652 0 24637 BONNIE WOOD DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM MESERVE TREASURER 1 0 X X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH RETTENMAIER DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 DENNIS KING DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 PETER MILLARD DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 AMY SCOTT SECRETARY 1 0 X X 0 0 0 NORTON LAMB DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 SARAH SHORT DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 SARAH COTTON DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 MARCIA HARRINGTON DIRECTOR 1.00 0 X 0 0 0 SEANA CULLINAN DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 ANNE S WINCHESTER DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 LUCY ABBOT DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 MARIA GALLACE CHAIR 1 0 X X 0 0 0 BENJAMIN WHALEN DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 SADIE LLOYD MUDGE DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 KATHRYN OLMSTEAD DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 EMILY BECK DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 EDWARD SIMMONS VICE CHAIR 1 0 X X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE SMITH DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL CATANIA DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 DAVID KALLIN DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 FRANCESCA GALLUCIO-STEELE DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 176457 0 58647 0 0 0 0 0 6366 1723682 0 0 0 2733326 121439 4463374 0 0 0 0 0 482969 0 0 482969 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3754285 0 2645179 0 1109106 0 1109106 0 0 1109106 28402 0 616 27786 0 27786 Other income 900099 2506 0 0 2506 0 0 0 0 2506 6085741 0 0 1622367 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 235105 89471 120071 25563 0 0 0 0 1544942 1294087 133328 117527 104281 89116 8881 6284 281912 219944 40587 21381 120626 102414 8474 9738 0 0 0 0 24504 24000 0 504 25790 20640 3344 1806 0 0 0 0 0 0 56721 0 56721 0 124538 118894 4188 1456 49498 49323 175 0 2668 1591 938 139 103636 51432 33006 19198 0 0 0 0 41648 33331 5400 2917 4580 3606 227 747 0 0 0 0 13986 10729 234 3023 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47223 37793 6123 3307 19178 15349 2486 1343 Telephone 16469 13276 1232 1961 Postage 52994 35699 598 16697 Printing 88820 64462 543 23815 Dues Fees and Subscriptions 32331 20749 10949 633 37908 18930 2609 16369 3029358 2314836 440114 274408 X 31701 10567 0 21134 X 100 100 3312910 2493763 622424 332204 3247 2639 0 0 0 0 0 0 7113 5525 50039 61364 1297130 1001141 340560 295989 10778315 13862496 1138872 761354 0 0 0 0 0 0 16253580 17815434 426332 304486 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 426332 304486 X 11997021 14669040 3830227 2841908 15827248 17510948 16253580 17815434 X 3056383 -1290502 0 0 0 -82181 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3567434 5881596 4285899 3229705 4463374 21428008 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3567434 5881596 4285899 3229705 4463374 21428008 2242621 19185387 213342 350539 303852 253096 482969 1603798 0 0 0 0 0 0 35062 39117 39782 33346 30908 178215 23210021 3893 0.82660 0.86647 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 2017 - Misc.
