We launched a new brand, committed to removing barriers for nonprofits to access our resources through low and no cost membership and in turn have increased paid memberships to MPC. Our conference gathered individuals from all around Maine to explore issues critical to the nonprofit and philanthropic sector. Our Summer Learning Series featured important research about Maine people and communities. MPC continues to encourage and support funder collaborations in early childhood, education, oral health and immigrant/refugee communities while also serving as the sponsor for the climate and environmental funders network, food systems funders, indigenous funders network, and the arts & culture funders network. These groups exchange information, explore new ideas and consider joint/aligned funding opportunities. MPC offers services to help nonprofits enhance their grant seeking skills and potential such as monthly tutorials, monthly electronic grant advisories and the Directory of Maine Grantmakers. The Maine Philanthropy Center promotes broad public awareness of philanthropy in a variety of ways including the publication of an annual Maine giving report, and a public website with local and national data about charitable foundations. MPC is affiliated with Candid and the Foundation Directory Online, a national nonprofit that tracks foundation information. Through this agreement, MPC maintains on-site library resources including public access to the Foundation Center's searchable national database of foundations. 380809 1 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 ME X X Shelley Mills 2077064907 87 Elm Street Suite 213 Camden ME 04843 Morgan Hynd Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Gabriela Alcalde Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Phil Walsh Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kati Denham Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Nicola Chin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Ellwood Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Hutchins Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Erik Jorgensen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Onion Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gioia Perugini Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brendan Schauffler Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Julia Sleeper Whiting Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Sockabasin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ian Yaffe Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Courtney Yeager Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kristen Miale Past Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeannette Andre President 40.00 X 107802 0 15960 107802 0 15960 1 0 0 0 0 275043 83800 39816 398659 Miscellaneous Income 900099 13199 13199 Program Fees 900099 2910 2910 16109 1721 1721 64970 83800 78201 -13231 -13231 403258 16109 0 -11510 123762 105198 12376 6188 199352 169449 19935 9968 12293 10449 1229 615 22341 18990 2234 1117 22391 19032 2239 1120 5926 5037 593 296 4446 3779 445 222 15080 12818 1508 754 19247 16360 1925 962 12921 10983 1292 646 968 823 97 48 Program Expenses 4832 4107 483 242 Dues and Memberships 3578 3041 358 179 Miscellaneous Expenses 874 743 87 44 448011 380809 44801 22401 159582 136679 334232 335953 80000 40000 26245 3297 0 32490 600059 548419 46781 28563 43930 46060 90711 74623 X 396121 433796 113227 40000 509348 473796 600059 548419 X -44753 9201 0 X 0 0 0 X 370042 385299 486696 458799 398659 2099495 370042 385299 486696 458799 398659 2099495 410813 1688682 1870 798 319 644 1721 5352 11453 11453 2116300 113027 0.79790 0.84940 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Philanthropy Partners Conference 148770 83800 64970 38354 511 26700 12636 148770 83800 64970 38354 511 26700 12636 78201 -13231 Form 990, Part III, line 2 During 2023, Maine Philanthropy Center offered any nonprofit organization/foundation a free membership to Impala, an online grant research and information tool. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 The Organization offers several categories of membership: Grantmaker Members, Associate Members, Philanthropic Advisors and Individual Philanthropists. Grantmaker members include organizations that make grants to nonprofit organizations in Maine and may include private foundations, community foundations, corporate foundations/giving programs and public charity grantmakers. Associate members include nonprofit organizations and consultants/professional advisors serving nonprofits. Philanthropic advisors are those who are providing services and consultation to funders, both organizations and individuals. Members in all categories receive the benefits of membership including access to programs and online resources. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The MPC Finance Committee and MPC President review the draft 990 at fall meeting or as soon as available and make suggestions for corrections, if needed. The MPC Executive Committee reviews this draft and recommends a final 990. The MPC Board then reviews the final draft, makes recommendations if needed and then votes to approve the final version for filing with the recommended changes adopted. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Each member of the MPC Board and Staff is asked to review the organization's conflict of interest policy at the beginning of each year and self-disclose any potential conflict of interest by completing and signing a disclosure statement. The reported conflicts are reviewed by both the MPC President and the MPC Board Chair. In the case of an actual or possible conflict or appearance of conflict, it is the responsibility of the affected MPC Board, committee or staff member to disclose it prior to any related decisions being made by or for MPC. In cases involving a board or committee member, once such disclosure has been made the remaining board or committee members will determine whether or not there is a conflict of interest; if they determine that there is a conflict of interest, the director or committee member involved shall not vote or use personal influence on the matter, and the minutes of the meeting shall reflect such disclosure as well as that the individual involved did not vote; however, if so requested by a majority of the other members present, may remain in the room to answer questions of a factual nature that may assist the board or committee in its deliberations. In cases involving a member of MPC staff, the MPC president (or if the president has the potential conflict, the chair of the board) will determine whether or not there is a conflict of interest. An individual who is unsure whether his or her circumstances involve an actual conflict should err on the side of disclosure. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Organization strives to provide compensation that recognizes, motivates and rewards its staff for their accomplishments and commitment to the Organization's mission. The Board of Directors performs an annual performance evaluation of the Organization's president and consults salary surveys conducted by the United Philanthropy Forum and the Maine Association of Nonprofits to set the compensation. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization posts its latest Form 990 on its website and indicates on the website that certain other financial information and governance policies are available upon request. Form 990, Part XI, Line 8: During 2023, the Organization made prior period adjustments to capitalize website costs as well as to account for minor book adjustments related to calendar year 2022.
