Overview
Mission
The cmpa aims to advocate for the responsible use of state and public lands situated on the north facing slope of casper mountain, seeking to create a positive environment for wildlife by implementing measures that enhance habitat quality, biodiversity, and ecological integrity within the area under consideration. The cmpa promotes the responsible and sustainable use of natural resources through education, advocacy, and collaboration with stakeholders, fostering a sense of stewardship among community members towards the land and its resources. Cmpa is also committed to preserving and improving air quality within the region and protect the water resources for the well-being of residents living in proximity to state and public lands.
What it reported doing in 2025
The cmpa may take such lawful and appropriate actions that are reasonable and necessary to insure that the use of state and public lands on the north facing slope of casper mountain occurs in a responsible manner that (i) does not endanger or threaten the health, safety, property values, and general welfare of Wyoming citizens and landowners located adjacent to or near such lands; (ii) is materially consistent with local duly-enacted land use regulations, rules, and resolutions of general application; (iii) supports school funding while preserving Wyoming's agricultural and outdoor recreational heritage, and (iv) preserves the value of state and public lands for current and future generations of Wyoming citizens. In pursuit of these purposes, the cmpa may engage in all lawful activities, including without limitation, engaging in fundraising, communications, public advocacy, and litigation designed to accomplish such ends.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
