Pollution from proposed copper mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and in the drainage basin would flow into a national wilderness area (Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness), Ontarios wilderness park (Quetico Provincial Park), and a national park (Voyageurs National Park). A ban on copper mining in the drainage basin would ensure the long-term ecological health of these three nationally significant lakeland areas.NMW has engaged multiple groups in this advocacy and education effort, including conservation organizations, hunting and fishing groups, wilderness-edge businesses, businesses nationwide, and other organizations and groups. NMWs approach has been to educate the public and policymakers through the use of modern science of the Quetico-Superior ecosystem and of sulfide-ore mining and through accurate mapping of the ecosystem and proposed mine districts. NMW operates an education center, called Sustainable Ely, near the location of proposed mine districts. Through these endeavors, NMW works to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Ontarios Quetico Provincial Park, and Voyageurs National Park.NMWs Goal: NMW seeks permanent protection of the Rainy River Drainage Basin from sulfide-ore copper mining 1173173 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false 15 0 true 16 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false true true false true true false MN X THE ORGANIZATION 2183657808 PO BOX 625 ELY MN 55731 JON NELSON CO-CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KRIS WEGERSON CO-CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JASON ZABOKRTSKY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAVERNE DUNSMORE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF SODERSTROM Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARC FINK Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BECKY ROM VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID MILLER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL SCHURKE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN HAWKINS Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS NIEMELA Campaign Mgr 50.00 0.00 X 85000 0 8500 85000 8500 0 false false false 0 111378 1358142 36985 1469520 0 0 0 0 0 0 111378 11196 -11196 0 0 Other Income 900099 355 355 355 1458679 355 X 0 0 0 0 93500 79732 3175 10593 0 380855 324774 12934 43147 0 18277 15586 620 2071 55721 47516 1892 6313 0 0 12711 10804 636 1271 0 60000 60000 0 198356 184030 12829 1497 273870 273870 39712 31770 3971 3971 0 0 42683 36281 2134 4268 58995 41296 11800 5899 0 6628 6628 0 0 0 1905 1905 PROGRAM ACTIVITIES 80461 80461 Printing and Publications 36210 30778 1811 3621 Bank and Credit Card Fees 19293 19293 SUPPLIES 10719 9647 536 536 0 1389896 1173173 73536 143187 301274 112998 0 266000 3600 42719 0 0 0 0 750 3397 0 0 0 0 0 0 305624 425114 35265 101291 15319 50584 101291 X 246121 26953 8919 296870 255040 323823 305624 425114 68783 X false true X true false X 4912 16012 295222 679394 1358142 2353682 0 0 4912 16012 295222 679394 1358142 2353682 791467 1562215 205 44 96 345 0 355 355 2354382 0.66350 0.58770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 25871 25871 1364025 1389896 213990 53498 false 14473 122014 213990 350477 525716 25871 25871 3618 30504 53498 87620 131430 25871 25871 Part I-A, Line 1 - Direct and Indirect Political Campaign Activities Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description Grassroots organizers recruiting volunteers to make phone calls to supporters to lobby their Fed Representatives to support HR 2072 1458679 1458679 1458679 1389896 1389896 1389896 X X X X X true United Strategies 1885 University Ave 266 St Paul MN 55104 false 1016663 60000 956663 1016663 60000 956663 MN Garden Party 56719 56719 Gala 54659 54659 4000 4500 2696 111378 111378 4000 4500 2696 11196 -11196 EQUIPMENT 16 36985 MARKET VALUE false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Exec committee will first review from finance committee and submit recommendation for board approval Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management Referenced MCN survey for comparable positions Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees Referenced MCN survey for comparable positions Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available No documents available to the public.
