“The Executive Director is related to two directors, Doris Porter and Logan Porter IV. They are each minority owners in an LLC which owns the warehouse and rents it to the Foundation at below market rates.In addition, Logan Porter IV owns both Executive Management Consulting Services LLC (which provides management services to the Foundation) and Banner Trucking LLC (a new company providing hauling services and which purchases agricultural products from the Foundation).”
“The Foundation contracts for management services with Executive Management Consulting Services LLC to keep costs down.”
“The majority of trustees are independent. They apply the written Conflict of Interest policy regarding all transactions with any member of the Porter family (the family which donated the Foundations initial assets).”
“All Trustees who have any personal financial interest, either direct or indirect, are required to recuse themselves from voting, which they have throughout this past year. The independent Trustees determine all conflict of interest policy compliance, and serve as a defacto conflict of interest committee.”
“The Executive Directors compensation was determined by talking with other area non-profits. However, the Executive Director has stated he does not want to be compensated at the prevailing rate, so the Board of Directors reduced his pay to the requested amount, which is far below comparable non-profits.”
“As noted in an earlier Schedule O entry, one of the Trustees, Logan Porter IV, works for the management firm the Foundation contracts with to manage daily operations.”
“Like most non-profits, the Foundations 990 form is available on Guidestar.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Tree preservation efforts. We have emphasized helping mostly Hispanics while working with land owners in several states to preserve long leaf pine trees. Our initial efforts have included both educational efforts with some landowners plus leasing land to prevent development which would harm or destroy pine forests. However, we are supplementing these efforts with discussions about conservation easements to provide more permanent preservation of pristine pine forest land. |

During this year the Foundation hired a fulltime director of training programs, which has enabled the Foundation to greatly expand its training programs and to help an older age bracket, particularly among minorities. New training successes include work with boy scout troops, Vietnamese refugees, farmer and timber groups throughout North Carolina with plans to expand offerings to neighboring states next year. Also, we are beginning to offer education and coaching to teach potential new agribusiness entrepreneurs how to diversity to several services and product lines which can create more jobs among minority, younger, and disadvantaged people in both rural and urban areas. |

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Executive Director is related to two directors, Doris Porter and Logan Porter IV. They are each minority owners in an LLC which owns the warehouse and rents it to the Foundation at below market rates.In addition, Logan Porter IV owns both Executive Management Consulting Services LLC (which provides management services to the Foundation) and Banner Trucking LLC (a new company providing hauling services and which purchases agricultural products from the Foundation). |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | The Foundation contracts for management services with Executive Management Consulting Services LLC to keep costs down. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 2 | The majority of trustees are independent. They apply the written Conflict of Interest policy regarding all transactions with any member of the Porter family (the family which donated the Foundations initial assets). |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 3 | All Trustees who have any personal financial interest, either direct or indirect, are required to recuse themselves from voting, which they have throughout this past year. The independent Trustees determine all conflict of interest policy compliance, and serve as a defacto conflict of interest committee. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 4 | The Executive Directors compensation was determined by talking with other area non-profits. However, the Executive Director has stated he does not want to be compensated at the prevailing rate, so the Board of Directors reduced his pay to the requested amount, which is far below comparable non-profits. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 5 | As noted in an earlier Schedule O entry, one of the Trustees, Logan Porter IV, works for the management firm the Foundation contracts with to manage daily operations. |
