Sportman's Alliance Of Maine - Institute For Legislative Action

In 2017, the SAM Board of Directors split the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine into two sister organizations as a way to better serve our membership’s needs. Because we are involved in so many political battles, including referendums, lobbying at the State House and candidate endorsements during elections, the board established SAM ILA, according to Internal Revenue Service rules. With a C-4 designation, SAM-ILA will be less restricted and will be able to have more of an impact in Augusta and at the ballot box. Because we are expanding our work in all areas, the creation of the new SAM-ILA organization enables us to defend the rights of sportsmen, whenever the need arises and without restriction.
