Working with policymakers at the local, state, and federal levels, we empower our members and partners to advocate for strong protections for mountain lions and their habitats. From supporting measures that reduce human-wildlife conflict to pushing for stronger, science-based regulations on hunting and trapping, we are on the front lines, making sure mountain lions voices are heard. In fiscal year 20242025, the Mountain Lion Foundation, along with its members and partners, continued to advocate for proactive, science-based protections for mountain lions in almost every western state. 350592 9172 OUTREACH AND EDUCATION The Mountain Lion Foundation fosters appreciation of mountain lions and their ecological significance. Mountain lions are an indispensable keystone species. However, like many top carnivores, mountain lions suffer from some widely held, but false and harmful misconceptions. Our educational outreach dispels those myths and misinformation and helps people to see mountain lions as a vital apex species deserving preservation rather than exploitation. In fiscal year 2024-2025, the Mountain Lion Foundation reached more people across the country than ever before through its strategic engagement of audiences via in person presentations, refocused social media, the website, revamped emails, new webinar content, and publications. The publication was the essential guide to recent scientific research on mountain lions. 145925 COEXISTENCE THE - Mountain Lion Foundation cultivates proactive, community-based coexistence for the protection of both people and lions. We work in communities across the United States to highlight the fact that living with lions is not just possible, but simple. The Mountain Lion Foundation provides information, tools, and advice about protecting lions to a range of people families, farmers and ranchers, state agency personnel, journalists, rural decision makers, and more to help communities live peacefully among lions, address cougar encounters as they occur and give mountain lions everything they need to flourish. In fiscal year 2024-2025, the Mountain Lion Foundation responded with protective information and advice to many dozens of incidents across the country such as lion sightings, suspected depredations, and lion mortalities. We also disseminated information to hobby farmers and other members of the producer community that helped them coexist peacefully with their lion neighbors. 4315 LOBBYING - In 20242025, the Mountain Lion Foundation achieved notable advocacy milestones by opposing harmful legislative efforts like Californias SB 818, supporting Colorados Proposition 91 to ban mountain lion trophy hunting, and actively participating in state legislative hearings (e.g., SB 427). They expanded public engagement through their Coexistence Ambassador Program in 11 states and reinforced legal advocacy through efforts such as a lawsuit against Utahs H.B. 469 Wildlife Related Amendments. Their strategies combined grassroots mobilization, expert testimony, educational campaigns, and legal action to influence public policy and protect mountain lions. 4315 947843 true true false true 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 false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Mountain Lion Foundation 9164422666 2180 N Street 9230 Sacramento CA 95816 X Brent Lyles Executive 40.00 0.00 102292 0 0 Bob McCoy Chairman 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Tromborg Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Toby Cooper Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Don Molde Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Fauna Tomlinson Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Sullivan Director 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bruce Rylander Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Ziegler Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 102292 1 false false false 0 669149 669149 0 56340 56340 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 725489 56340 153104 153104 153 153 0 0 102292 83879 16367 2046 0 521822 428240 46320 47262 0 87287 66918 13677 6692 51722 42510 5256 3956 0 43971 43971 56747 56747 0 0 0 43039 19553 18802 4684 0 12592 9700 1842 1050 10799 10799 0 31527 16005 11514 4008 38479 35472 1669 1338 0 6044 6012 9 23 0 0 0 5211 5211 Educational/Promotional Materi 22093 21838 255 Filing Fees 13522 58 13458 6 Postage and Shipping 5383 1840 3041 502 Subscriptions & Publications 3922 3561 27 334 7549 4230 1198 2121 1217258 947843 195138 74277 630802 102449 0 42665 37865 0 0 0 0 0 6449 15095 6713 6713 0 2011963 2220790 0 0 0 34155 3611 2726034 2379810 86457 79713 31177 117634 79713 X 2444441 2119784 163959 180313 2608400 2300097 2726034 2379810 -491769 203862 -20396 X false false false X 1075563 663877 721095 829118 669149 3958802 0 0 1075563 663877 721095 829118 669149 3958802 0 3958802 468816 -170775 141603 54641 56340 550625 2905 729 3634 28423 11562 39985 4553046 0.86950 0.72040 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 1237654 1237654 198765 49691 false 147639 130071 181839 198765 658314 987471 3000 4315 7315 36910 32518 45460 49691 164579 246869 1119736 40728 1160464 988124 131612 1119736 895776 92348 988124 1053119 -157343 895776 983085 81584 11550 1053119 0.87000 0.13000 false false false 6713 6713 false Cats Arent Trophies 1234 ZENITH AVE Grand Lake CO 80447 934092614 150000 0 Advocacy 0 1 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Executive Director and Board of Directors review Form 990 prior to filing.
