Chuck Coiner

Conservation Voters for Idaho provides a highly documented Idaho use endpoint for the national funding routes already mapped through League of Conservation Voters, Sixteen Thirty Fund and Western Futures Fund. CVI’s current board page lists Collin Todd as chair, Mike Lanza as vice chair, Mark Nail as treasurer, Michelle Cooper as secretary and board members including Chuck Coiner, Mat Erpelding, Chantel Greene, Renee Hill, Mike McIntyre and Caitlin Cornforth. Its FY2025 filing identifies Alexis Pickering as executive director for that fiscal year and reports $74,728 in reportable compensation plus related compensation; Pickering later publicly stated in September 2026 that her two-year tenure had ended. CVI’s own 2024 election report describes concrete tactics under its leadership: six unique mailers totaling 38,870 pieces, social-media outreach reaching more than 180,000 people with more than 475,000 content views, and in-person doorstep contacts with more than 5,450 voters. CVI says it directly influences election outcomes through candidate endorsements/support and works with candidates directly and through PAC activity. In 2025 it said it led the Boise Clean Water and Open Space Levy campaign, which passed with 80.7%. This shows what outside-supported Idaho political infrastructure actually does at the endpoint: candidate endorsements, targeted mail, digital persuasion, canvassing, PAC support and ballot-measure campaigning. It does NOT establish which specific Sixteen Thirty, WFF or LCV grant paid for which mailer, canvass, candidate or ballot measure because the organization receives multiple funding streams and pooled funds.
