“Form 990 is prepared by an outside tax professional. The form is then reviewed by the organization's management and all members of the board of directors. This group of individuals then discusses the contents of the return with the outside tax professional. After a full review, the final version of the tax return is provided to all members of the organization's voting body. A representative of management authorizes the final form 990 which is then e-filed with the internal revenue service.”

“Members of the board of directors review all potential conflicts of interest at least annually. The executive director and all board members are required to disclose (in writing) potential conflicts and any related party affiliations. Loans between the organization and members of management and the board are strictly prohibited. The organization seeks full transparency on all relationships. Any potential conflicts (in fact or appearance) are discussed openly and resolved in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures.”

“Members of the board of directors review the compensation of all high-level personnel annually in accordance with irs rules and regulations. Every effort is made to ensure that the process is thorough and transparent in accordance with irs guidelines and the organization's policies and procedures.”

“All of the organization's governing documents, financial statements and other legal filings are maintained in a secure environment and held available for inspection by tax authorities and the general public. Tax returns are posted annually to www.guidestar.org (where they are available for viewing as electronic copies) and are also available for a physical inspection at the organization's office in anchorage, alaska.”

“The mission of native conservancy is to support indigenous people's efforts to preserve, repatriate and restore ancestral lands through the establishment of indigenous land conservation trusts on scarred lands and waters that are inherent to the protection and preservation of sovereignty, subsistence, spirituality and native culture.”

“Native land conservation: eyak cultural mapping started from a community vision to bring the traditional eyak names, associated stories, historic knowledge and language connections back to life through counter-mapping. Counter-mapping challenges widely accepted colonial perspectives of land and waters. This program provides recognition and cultivates deeper understandings of the eyak homelands, the value of names, stories and sacred sites. The bering river coal acquisition is a 23-year conservation campaign to stop roads and protect three-million acres of wild salmon habitat on the copper river delta. The bering river coalfields are 73,000 acres of pristine wilderness along the eastern perimeter of the copper river delta's alluvial fan that is a corridor for continuous wildlife. The watershed is fully intact and supports the returns of thousands of spawning coho and sockeye salmon each year. The goal is to protect and secure the coal title for the remaining 11,000 acres of the bering river coalfields.”

“Other program activities include conferences and communications: this accounts for donor and grant outreach and marketing to help support the mission of the organization.”
