“Organizations process to review form 990: form 990 is presented to, and reviewed by, the governing body. After discussion, a board member will sign the return and it will be directed to an individual who ensures the return is filed in accordance with irs guidelines.”
“All board members, and employees, will complete a conflict of interest form on an annual basis and report any occurence of a conflict. Upon receipt of a notice of possible conflict of interest, the board of trustees will review the circumstances and approve procedures or policies to eliminate any potential conflict.”
“The executive director's compensation is reviewed annually by the board of trustees. Any action to change or modify the compensation is voted on by the full board with a majority of the board approving such change or modification.”
“The documents are made available upon request.”
“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of the financial statements and selection of an independent accountant.”
“No provision for federal and state income taxes has been made since conservancy is exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. The conservancy files information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and these returns are generally no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2015. The conservancy has not had any business income unrelated to its exempt purpose and, therefore, has not filed income tax returns in any jurisdiction.”
“The easements are reported as other assets in the financial statements for the value of $1 per easement; in addition, when the donation is received revenue and expenses are recorded for the appraised value of the donation.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | IN 2017-18 LEGACY LAND CONSERVANCY PROTECTED NEARLY AN ADDITIONAL 47 ACRES, BRINGING OUR TOTAL OVER A 47-YEAR HISTORY TO MORE THAN 8,800 ACRES OF LAND PROTECTED TO SAFEGUARD ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER FOR DRINKING AND RECREATION, CONSERVE A VARIETY OF NATURAL SPACES, AND SUPPORT THE CONTINUED VITALITY OF OUR LOCAL WORKING FARMS. GIVEN THE CONTINUED ACCELERATION OF DEVELOPMENT IN JACKSON AND WASHTENAW COUNTIES, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE PACE OF CONSERVATION IN ORDER TO SECURE A LAND BASE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS AND ENHANCE OUR REGION'S QUALITY OF PLACE. PROTECTING LAND AROUND RIVERS, LAKES, AND STREAMS IMPROVES THE QUALITY OF OUR DRINKING WATER. OUTDOOR RECREATION IS A PART OF A HEALTHY WAY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS, AND IS A MAJOR ATTRACTION FOR TOURISTS, FROM HUNTERS AND ANGLERS TO PADDLERS AND FAMILIES WHO SPEND TIME AT PARKS. PROTECTING OUR NATURAL AREAS INCREASES ACCESS TO NATURE AND ENSURES THAT RESIDENTS AND VISITORS CAN STILL FIND PLACES TO HIKE, BIKE, BOAT, FISH, HUNT, SEE WILDLIFE, INTRODUCE THEIR CHILDREN TO NATURE, OR JUST ENJOY THE QUIET AND PEACE OF NATURE. PROTECTING LUSH, PRODUCTIVE LOCAL FARMLAND ENSURES A SWIFT TRIP OF NUTRITIOUS FOOD FROM FARM TO NEARBY TABLES, WHILE ALSO PRESERVING THE SCENIC BEAUTY AND HISTORIC CHARACTER OF RURAL LAND JUST MINUTES FROM CITY CENTERS. |
