Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B
“All governing decisions are made by the full board of directors. The board has no committees.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11
“Each year, the board ensures that the form 990 is reviewed by a member of the board, or a designee of the board, with appropriate qualifications. That person communicates his or her findings to the board. A draft form 990 is made available to all members of the board for review and comment. The final copy of the 990 is provided to all board members prior to filing with the irs and state authorities.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“The conflict of interest policy covers each member of the board of directors, officers, each employee, such persons' family members, affiliated entities, any other person the board determines to have substantial influence over the organization, and any person who met one of the above definitions at any time during five years before any proposed transaction that may involve a conflict of interest. The policy requires each new employee and board member to read the policy and complete a compliance and disclosure statement. In addition, every executive employee, officer, and board member completes the statement annually. The board determines whether a conflict of interest exists and reviews actual conflicts. The board of directors authorizes and oversees an annual review of the administration of the policy. If a conflict of interest arises, the board member will refrain from the discussion and vote on the matter.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
“The governing board approved an executive compensation policy designed to conform to the treasury regulations creating a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness, that includes independent review and approval by the board, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision. Compensation has not been reviewed in several years, as there have been only minor changes.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“The organization's governing documents, conflicts of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public. The organization provides copies upon request and offers inspection of these documents at the organization's office.”

Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:
“Impairment loss due to a change in planned development project. -429,808.”
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:
“Commonweal conservancy, inc. Does not have a separate audit committee per se; the entire board of directors assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit, and for the selection of an accountant.”
Financial Statement Notes
PART II, LINE 3:
“During the year ended june 30, 2014, the organization donated 1) a 300-acre easement it had overlaid on a portion of its property; and 2) a 160-acre easement it had retained over property sold to a conservation buyer.”
PART II, LINE 5:
“The board of directors has adopted a conservation easement policy that sets forth (1) criteria for acceptance of easements, (2) provisions for annual monitoring of easements, including site inspections and communication with property owners, (3) guidelines for inspecting and documenting condition of the property with respect to the terms of easements, and (4) procedures for investigating, enforcing, and resolving violations of the terms of easements. The organization is committed to maintaining the most constructive working relationship possible with the property owners and uses all reasonable attempts at negotiation before using litigation as a last resort to correct violations. Easements held by the organization reflect the board policy.”
PART II, LINE 9:
“Since the benefits of conservation easements accrue to the public upon acquisition, the fair market value of easements acquired is shown in the year of acquisition as an addition to net assets to record the donation of the easement, and unless conveyed to a public agency for consideration, shown as a reduction in net assets to record the value of the public's benefit and to recognize that these easements have no marketable value once severed from the land. Easements are carried on the statement of financial position at $1 each for tracking and accounting purposes. During the year ended june 30, 2014, there were no easements donated to the organization. The organization also donates and sells easements to public agencies and land trusts. Donations and sales of easements are recorded as expense measured at the fair value of the decline in value of the related land.”

| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt | 1 | COMMONWEAL CONSERVANCY NORMALLY RECEIVES A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC UNDER SECTIONS 509(A)(1) AND 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) AND UNDER THE "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES" TEST OF TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3). 1. REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3)(I): 10% SUPPORT LIMITATION. COMMONWEAL CONSERVANCY'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2014, IS 17.20%. THIS IS OVER THE 10% MINIMUM AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIRED IN REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3)(I). 2. REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3)(II): ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. COMMONWEAL CONSERVANCY ATTRACTS PUBLIC SUPPORT THROUGH A CAREFULLY-CRAFTED AND ENERGETICALLY PURSUED OUTREACH PROGRAM; ONE THAT SOLICITS PHILANTHROPIC INSTITUTIONS, INDIVIDUAL DONORS, CORPORATE SUPPORTERS AND PUBLIC AGENCY PARTNERS FOR A BROAD MIX OF OPERATIONAL AND PROGRAMMATIC FUNDING. ALTHOUGH THE CONSERVANCY MAINTAINS A SMALL STAFF OF THREE PROFESSIONALS, THE ORGANIZATION'S EFFORTS ARE ADVANCED THROUGH A PROGRAM OF FOUNDATION AND CORPORATE GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL DONOR FUNDRAISING APPEALS, INCLUDING WEBSITE SOLICITATIONS. SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 2003, THE CONSERVANCY HAS ATTRACTED INCREASING SUPPORT FROM INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND AGENCIES. GRANTS AND GIFTS HAVE BEEN SECURED FOR A WIDE RANGE OF OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION, HABITAT RESTORATION, CONSERVATION EASEMENT STEWARDSHIP, AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLANNING, AND PUBLIC RECREATION-RELATED PURPOSES. DURING THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN OF THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FUNDING HAS COME FROM THE SALE OF PROGRAM-RELATED CONSERVATION PROPERTIES. A CONSTRAINED PHILANTHROPIC ENVIRONMENT HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE THE PUBLIC SUPPORT STANDARDS OF SECTION 509(A)(2). WITH INCREASING PHILANTHROPIC RESOURCES AND AN EXPANDING POOL OF DONORS AVAILABLE TO THE ORGANIZATION, HOWEVER, THE CONSERVANCY'S FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES PROMISE TO BE INCREASINGLY DIVERSE AND PRODUCTIVE. ACCORDINGLY, IN THE VIEW OF ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT, THE SCOPE OF THE CONSERVANCY'S FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES SEEMS REASONABLE RELATIVE TO ITS GROWING CHARITABLE PROGRAM ACTIVITY. 3. REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(A): PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. COMMONWEAL CONSERVANCY WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SUPPORT ACROSS A BROAD RANGE OF SOURCES, INCREASING ITS PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. THE ORGANIZATION WILL TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO BROADEN ITS DONOR BASE: I) THE CONSERVANCY'S INDIVIDUAL DONOR PROGRAM UTILIZES NEW PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL CAPACITY. USING INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED FUNDRAISING TOOLS AND STRATEGIES INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEB FUNDRAISING, THE ORGANIZATION ANTICIPATES SECURING SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER RATES OF SUPPORT FROM SMALL DONORS FROM THE REGION AND AROUND THE COUNTRY. II) THROUGH ITS BOARD AND PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS, THE CONSERVANCY IS ACTIVELY PURSUING GRANTS FROM PHILANTHROPIC INSTITUTIONS (I.E., FOUNDATIONS) AND MISSION-FOCUSED CORPORATIONS; III) LEVERAGING A GROWING COMMUNITY OF "FRIENDS OF THE PRESERVE", THE CONSERVANCY ANTICIPATES SOLICITING ANNUAL GIFTS AND BEQUESTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO CELEBRATE THE OPEN SPACE PROTECTION AND RECREATIONAL TRAIL DEVELOPMENT THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS ACCOMPLISHED DURING THE PAST ELEVEN YEARS; IV) THROUGH ITS SUPPORT OF PUBLIC AGENCIES AND RELATED CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS, THE ORGANIZATION HAS POSITIONED ITSELF AS A SOPHISTICATED AND ACCOMPLISHED FACILITATOR OF COMPLEX PUBLIC BENEFIT LAND TRANSACTIONS. IN THE YEARS AHEAD, THE CONSERVANCY ANTICIPATES SECURING GRANT FUNDING FROM FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCIES IN THE ACQUISITION AND STEWARDSHIP OF CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT, RECREATIONAL, AND CULTURAL LAND RESOURCES IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. 4. REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(B): SOURCES OF SUPPORT. A VARIETY OF SOURCES FUND COMMONWEAL CONSERVANCY, INCLUDING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, CORPORATIONS, AND PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS. IN ITS FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014, |

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014, THE ORGANIZATION DONATED 1) A 300-ACRE EASEMENT IT HAD OVERLAID ON A PORTION OF ITS PROPERTY; AND 2) A 160-ACRE EASEMENT IT HAD RETAINED OVER PROPERTY SOLD TO A CONSERVATION BUYER. |
| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ADOPTED A CONSERVATION EASEMENT POLICY THAT SETS FORTH (1) CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENTS, (2) PROVISIONS FOR ANNUAL MONITORING OF EASEMENTS, INCLUDING SITE INSPECTIONS AND COMMUNICATION WITH PROPERTY OWNERS, (3) GUIDELINES FOR INSPECTING AND DOCUMENTING CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMS OF EASEMENTS, AND (4) PROCEDURES FOR INVESTIGATING, ENFORCING, AND RESOLVING VIOLATIONS OF THE TERMS OF EASEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING THE MOST CONSTRUCTIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP POSSIBLE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND USES ALL REASONABLE ATTEMPTS AT NEGOTIATION BEFORE USING LITIGATION AS A LAST RESORT TO CORRECT VIOLATIONS. EASEMENTS HELD BY THE ORGANIZATION REFLECT THE BOARD POLICY. |
| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 2 | SINCE THE BENEFITS OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ACCRUE TO THE PUBLIC UPON ACQUISITION, THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF EASEMENTS ACQUIRED IS SHOWN IN THE YEAR OF ACQUISITION AS AN ADDITION TO NET ASSETS TO RECORD THE DONATION OF THE EASEMENT, AND UNLESS CONVEYED TO A PUBLIC AGENCY FOR CONSIDERATION, SHOWN AS A REDUCTION IN NET ASSETS TO RECORD THE VALUE OF THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT AND TO RECOGNIZE THAT THESE EASEMENTS HAVE NO MARKETABLE VALUE ONCE SEVERED FROM THE LAND. EASEMENTS ARE CARRIED ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AT $1 EACH FOR TRACKING AND ACCOUNTING PURPOSES. DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014, THERE WERE NO EASEMENTS DONATED TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO DONATES AND SELLS EASEMENTS TO PUBLIC AGENCIES AND LAND TRUSTS. DONATIONS AND SALES OF EASEMENTS ARE RECORDED AS EXPENSE MEASURED AT THE FAIR VALUE OF THE DECLINE IN VALUE OF THE RELATED LAND. |
