The mission of the Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT) is to conserve the Texas heritage of agricultural lands, natural resources and wildlife habitats. TALT works to sustain the long-term stewardship of private lands for the benefit of all Texans. TALT accomplishes its mission through the use of voluntary conservation measures and through education and outreach efforts. TALT partners with private landowners to negotiate and transact conservation easements that protect important conservation values, in accordance with IRC Section 170(h). These privately stewarded lands provide public benefits such as productive agricultural lands, scenic views, drinking water protection, natural wildlife habitat and open space. Additionally, with a state that holds 94% privately owned lands, TALT works to educate the public on the many public benefits provided by the stewardship of private lands, and to educate Texas landowners about the use of conservation easements. Since 2007, TALT has helped lando

“The Executive Committee includes the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Treasurer and previews issues for full discussion before Board meetings, serves as a sounding board for TALTs Chief Executive Officer, acts in a time-sensitive manner when full TALT Board of Directors is not available, acts on grievance and whistleblower action brought forward by staff, and plans the calendar and general work plan for the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee also acts as the audit committee.”
“The Audit Committee receives (via email) the draft of the 990 at least 2 days before a call with the CPA firm who prepared the document. A conference call with the CPA firm is held to discuss important topics and to review the Form 990. Once approved by the Audit Committee, the draft Form 990 is distributed to the entire Board of Directors prior to filing with the IRS.”
“Board members submit a conflict of interest questionnaire annually. The CEO tracks any potential conflicts and there is a standing agenda item for every board meeting to recognize and decide whether to waive conflicts of interest, if necessary.”
“Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT) uses comparative salary data gleaned from 990s of similar non-profit organizations. This is reported to the board chairman during the annual review process.”

“All conservation easements purchased or donated are recognized as conservation expense on TALT's statement of activities and are not recorded as assets in the statement of financial position. TALT believes the conservation easements do not have a future value as the property interest held by TALT provides no affirmative rights beyond the obligation to monitor and enforce the terms of the easements. See Schedule D, Part II for more information on TALT's conservation easememnts.”
“The organization has written policies and procedures regarding the regular annual monitoring and inspection of all conservation easements and the enforcement of conservation easement terms. The annual monitoring and inspection of conservation easements as well as the enforcement of its terms are provided for in its conservation easement documents. Funding for annual monitoring and enforcement is secured for every conservation easement through a stewardship and enforcement fund contribution held by TALT. TALT is an accredited Land Trust, recognized by the Land Trust Alliance.”
“In conformity with the practice followed by many land trusts, conservation easements purchased or donated are not recorded as assets in the statement of financial position. TALT believes the conservation easements do not have a future value as the property interest held by TALT provides no affirmative rights beyond the obligation to monitor and enforce the terms of the easements. All easements acquired by purchase are recognized as conservation expense in the statement of activities. Costs incurred in obtaining easements are expensed as incurred.”
“Endowment funds are to be held in perpetuity and invested to produce distributions to the Texas Agricultural Land Trust to fund operating costs.In 2016 TALT entered into an agreement with a mitigation bank to serve as the endowment fund manager of a long-term management plan for the conservation and protection of the Lesser prairie-chicken. The 2016 contributions to the endowment relate to this fund. The fund's investment return is temporarily restricted for the long-term stewardship, enhancement, and monitoring activities of the bank parcel. TALT is not obligated to perform the long-term stewardship or active management of the bank parcel.”

| IRS990/MissionDesc | 0 | The mission of the Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT) is to conserve the Texas heritage of agricultural lands, natural resources and wildlife habitats. TALT works to sustain the long-term stewardship of private lands for the benefit of all Texans. TALT accomplishes its mission through the use of voluntary conservation measures and through education and outreach efforts. TALT partners with private landowners to negotiate and transact conservation easements that protect important conservation values, in accordance with IRC Section 170(h). These privately stewarded lands provide public benefits such as productive agricultural lands, scenic views, drinking water protection, natural wildlife habitat and open space. Additionally, with a state that holds 94% privately owned lands, TALT works to educate the public on the many public benefits provided by the stewardship of private lands, and to educate Texas landowners about the use of conservation easements. Since 2007, TALT has helped lando |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | Outreach on public benefit of conservation easements of private, working lands: TALT's outreach work falls into two categories: to educate landowners and their advisors on how to use conservation easements to protect, conserve and pass land down to future generations; and to communicate the need to protect agricultural lands and open space, and the many benefits - such as clean and plentiful drinking water, domestic and affordable food and fiber, and wildlife habitat - that these lands provide to all Texans. Our education and outreach programs occur in a wide variety of formats and reach diverse audiences. During the tax year, TALT's outreach efforts included: landowner workshops in Corpus, Brazoria and Victoria; sponsorship and attendance of Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Ranch Gatherings across the state; presentations to the Wildlife Committee of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Natural Resource Conservation Services State Technical Advisory Committee, TPWD district staff, Texas Chapter of The Wildlife Society, financial planners, CPAs and attorneys in McAllen, and South Texas Property Rights Association; attendance and participation at Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers annual convention, Texas Wildlife Association annual convention, Trans-Pecos Wildlife Conference, Texas Land and Mineral Owners Association, Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Institute, Texas Coalition for Conservation and the Fort Worth Livestock Show and Rodeo. TALT aslo continued the "No Land No Water campaign to successfully garner funding support for the Texas Farms and Ranch Land Conservation Program through legislative action. Through the use of its newsletter, social media and speaking engagements, TALT educates an urban audience regarding the public benefits of rural working lands. |
