Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Sand county foundation's mission is to inspire and enable a growing number of private landowners to ethically manage natural resources in their care so that future generations have clean and abundant water, healthy soil to support agriculture and forestry, plentiful habitat for wildlife and opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The sand county foundation provided support to private individuals and communities as primary agents of conservation and management; rewarded responsible stewards of land through award recognition; facilitated communication and information exchange among landowners, scientists, funders and policy makers; worked to remove regulatory barriers and generate incentives for landowners who enhance the environment; and created on-the-land examples of environmental solutions.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“The prepared form 990 is sent to all directors for review approximately one week prior to filing the return with the irs.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Annually all directors and officers complete and sign a statement that provides information regarding their interests and those of their family members that could give rise to conflicts. The members of the governing body make determinations of whether a conflict exists and review actual conflicts. Any person with a conflict is prohibited from participating in the governing body's deliberations and decisions in the transaction.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The executive chairman's compensation was evaluated in 2014 using data on compensation paid by similar organizations and adjusted by action of the governing body to be more consistent with industry averages. In 2015 the executive chairman's compensation and the president's compensation were independently evaluated against compensation paid by comparable institutions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request to the extent appropriate.”
