In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the conflict of interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of an actual or possible conflict of interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The qualified persons shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. Procedures for addressing the conflict of interest a. An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting. If the interested person has a duty of confidentiality with respect to information relating to the transaction or arrangement preventing him/her from disclosing all material facts known to him/her regarding the transaction or arrangement, he/she shall disclose the existence and nature of the transaction or arrangement and the limitations imposed by that duty before any vote.

After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether foundation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. D. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote, but at least two, of the qualified persons whether the transaction or arrangement is in foundation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. Each director, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person: a. Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, b. Has read and understands the policy, c. Has agreed to comply with the policy, and d.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

Change in cash surrender value of life insurance 41,666. Change in value of split interest agreements 56,200.

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

The endowment funds are intended to support the charitable and educational purposes for the benefit of, to perform the functions of, or to carry out certain purposes of the desert botanical garden, inc., a related supported organization.

PART X, LINE 2:

Dbg and the foundation qualify as tax-exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code ("irc") and, accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes. In addition, dbg and the foundation qualify for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170 of the irc and have been classified as organizations that are not private foundations. Dbg agave is a disregarded entity for tax purposes. Income determined to be unrelated business taxable income would be taxable. Dbg and the foundation file information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and in certain state and local jurisdictions when there is taxable income. As of september 30, 2025, u.s. Federal information returns for years ended prior to september 30, 2021 and state returns for years ended prior to september 30, 2020 were closed to assessment. Interest and penalties, if any, are accrued as a component of administration expenses when assessed. The garden accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of fasb asc 740, income taxes by applying a more-likely-than-not threshold to the recognition and de-recognition of uncertain tax positions in earnings in the year of such change. The garden evaluates potential uncertain tax positions, if any, on a continual basis through review of their policies and procedures, review of their regular tax filings, and discussions with outside experts. The garden has identified its status as an exempt organization as a tax position; however, the garden has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty that requires recognition.

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Change in cash surrender value of life insurance 41,666. Change in value of split interest agreements 56,200.
