“The 990 is prepared by independent accountants and reviewed by management and the Treasurer. The return is then presented to the Board of Directors for review prior to filing.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Every board member and staff person signs a conflict of interest and confidentiality agreement annually. Any board member with a conflict of interest on any specific issue informs the board and abstains from discussion and voting on the issue, and leaves the room while the full board is discussing the issue.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“In the annual budgeting process, the Board approves a budget line for aggregate salary expense. Thereafter, individual salaries and salary increases for employees are determined by the Executive Director. The Board of Directors sets the Executive Director salary after a performance review and a check of comparable salary information for nonprofit organizations with similar budgets.”

Pt VI, Line 18

“Forms 1023 and 990 are available upon request.”

Pt VI, Line 19

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“RiverLink 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 the organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had no income from unrelated business activities in 2019 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The organization 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.”

Pt II, Line 5

“RiverLink has Stewardship Monitoring and Stewardship Enforcement policies that are consistent with, and/or devived from, the Land Trust Standards and Practices established by the Land Trust Alliance, the national organization dedicated to setting best practices for land trusts.”

Pt II, Line 9

“The endowment is being held with the hope that in the future it can be built to a size that would provide supplemental income for operations.”

IRS990/Desc0During 2019, RiverLink continued its critical River revitalization work by encouraging watershed communities to experience and learn about the French Broad River. We also carried out important land and water conservation programs. CAPITAL PROJECTS - In January, RiverLink accepted the merger of the Friends of Woodfin Greenway and Blueway into RiverLink as part of a Capital Projects Program to partner with the Town of Woodfin and Buncombe County to create 5 miles of greenway, two public parks and one whitewater wave feature. RiverLink will provide fundraising support and outreach for the project, estimated to cost $18 million. The RiverLink Board furthered the transformation of a former junkyard into a public park by approving the Karen Cragnolin Park Master Plan in February 2019, developed by internationally-recognized design firm Nelson Byrd Woltz.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0CONSERVATION -The Givens Estates Innovative Stormwater Control Project, funded by NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund, was completed and resulted in 5 Stormwater Control Measures being designed and installed to control runoff in the 100-acre watershed that flows into the impaired Dingle Creek. Initial sediment testing measured 4 tons of sediment removed from the French Broad River as a result of the project. We also began work on the River Arts District Watershed plan to investigate and find solutions to water quality issues in three tributaries of the French Broad River. RiverLink preserved 10 acres of woodland and stream property of the Wilma Dykeman Homestead that was sold to a private landowner. Individual donations allowed for the creation of a RiverLink Land Stewardship and Legal Defense Fund to enable RiverLink to carry out land protection obligations into perpetuity.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0LEARN - Our K-12 education continued to grow in 2019. Our RiverRATS program educated 3300 students at more than 50 schools in the 8-county watershed. Students that participated in the program learned about aquatic ecosystems through interactive experiential learning in the classroom and in the stream. We created a new volunteer educator program to increase educational capacity. RiverLink also celebrated its eleventh year of RiverCamp with four weeks of day camps for grades 3-8 focused on the exploration of the French Broad Watershed. We had funding to provide scholarships for 20% of the students. EXPERIENCE - We continued a strong legacy of providing ways for watershed communities to experience the watershed. Our residential rainwater control program, WaterRICH, installed rain Gardens at Swannanoa Valley Montessori School and Asheville
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Primary School. We hosted three rain barrel workshops We also began a campaign to name a stream on the Asheville riverfront. Overall, nearly 950 volunteers provided 1800 hours of volunteer service to clean streams, revitalize public lands, and host events that promote the River. RiverLink also hosted our annual celebration of the French Broad River with
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1RiverFest and the popular Anything That Floats Parade that attracted 2,500 people. We also hosted the Catch the Wave event that promoted the Woodfin Greenway and Blueway Project to 450 people.
