Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The Executive Director and Executive Committe review the 990 prior to filing.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Any conflicts of interest are identified before the board votes are taken. Directors with a conflict are not permitted to vote on the matter.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“The Executive Director's compensation is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors annually.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“The governing documents are made available to the public upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“Wild South is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to an organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Wild South had no income from unrelated business activities during the 2020 fiscal year and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). Wild South believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0HANDS ON SCIENCE - Wild South involves the public in science-based solutions to the shared challenges of public lands, targeting opportunities where people can make a difference in the wildest of our forests and waters. This year's community-powered projects included: mitigating trail erosion to reduce sedimentation into trout waters, mapping dispersed campsites, removal of non-native invasive plants, construction of stone barriers to protect trailside endangered plants, monitoring wilderness wildlife using game cameras, and mapping recreation use in sensitive cliffside and clifftop habitats.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0HANDS ON ADVOCACY - Wild South leads by example, defending wild lands in close collaboration with the wide range of forest stakeholders, engaging communities in public lands decision-making. This year's efforts included advocacy for protection of Harper Creek and Lost Cove Wilderness Study Areas, as well as defense of mountain biking and other recreation use across the forest in the upcoming Nantahala-Pisgah Forest Plan revision. In Alabama, a multi-year evaluation of Forest Service efficacy in wilderness management was concluded.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Wild South is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to an organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Wild South had no income from unrelated business activities during the 2020 fiscal year and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). Wild South believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.
