Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART II, LINE 5:

“The organization utilizes dclt monitors to monitor and inspect the conservation easement.”

PART II, LINE 9:

“The organization currently reports the land held through easement as land on its balance sheet. There has been no recording of activity in its revenue and expense statement at this time.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organizations have received notification that they qualify as tax-exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the u.s. Internal revenue code and corresponding provisions of state law and, accordingly, are not subject to federal or state income taxes. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the organizations' tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. In 2023, the tax expense on unrelated business income was not material. It is the organizations' policy to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. With few exceptions, the organizations are no longer subject to u.s. Federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2020 (2019 for the state of wisconsin). The organizations are not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE ORGANIZATION UTILIZES DCLT MONITORS TO MONITOR AND INSPECT THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1THE ORGANIZATION CURRENTLY REPORTS THE LAND HELD THROUGH EASEMENT AS LAND ON ITS BALANCE SHEET. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECORDING OF ACTIVITY IN ITS REVENUE AND EXPENSE STATEMENT AT THIS TIME.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THEY QUALIFY AS TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND CORRESPONDING PROVISIONS OF STATE LAW AND, ACCORDINGLY, ARE NOT SUBJECT TO FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES. HOWEVER, INCOME FROM CERTAIN ACTIVITIES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATIONS' TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE IS SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. IN 2023, THE TAX EXPENSE ON UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME WAS NOT MATERIAL. IT IS THE ORGANIZATIONS' POLICY TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY TAX AUTHORITIES FOR THE YEARS BEFORE 2020 (2019 FOR THE STATE OF WISCONSIN). THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT CURRENTLY UNDER EXAMINATION BY ANY TAXING JURISDICTION.
