“Organization's 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.”
“Contributions include a major bequest of $1,300,000 received in the current year.”
“Expenses vary year to year depending on the number of easements”
“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 2019. 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.”
