Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“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 and the Form 990 is available on RiverLink's website for public viewing.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial statements are available upon request.”

Pt XI

“Liabilities were adjusted by $178 as part of the 2018 audit that was completed after the Form 990 was filed.”

Pt III, Line 3

“Due to the pandemic, RiverLink's education lessons were moved to virtual offerings. Also, RiverLink was unable to host its annual RiverFest or other in-person events.”

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11G

“Contract Services 81899. 68714. 12204. 981.”

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.”

Pt V, Line 4

“Conservation easements purchased are expensed. Conservation easements received by donation are not recognized in the financial statements.”

Pt XI, Line 2D

“Rental expenses and direct fundraising expenses”

Pt XII, Line 2D

“Rental expenses and direct fundraising expenses”

Pt XII, Line 4B

“Land Donated to Local Government”

IRS990/Desc0During 2020, RiverLink continued its critical River revitalization work by encouraging watershed communities to experience, conserve, and learn about the French Broad River. We also carried out important land, education, and water conservation programs. The pandemic did impact some of our operations but we were able to survive and are in a great position to thrive again in 2021. . CAPITAL PROJECTS - RiverLink moved ahead with its communication and fundraising role for the Woodfin Greenway and Blueway. RiverLink released several important communication items on behalf of the Town to include the purchase of the Waste Pro Site, the release of bond funding, and construction initiated at Silver-Line Park.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0CONSERVATION - The top story of 2020 for water quality was the completion of Central Asheville Watershed Restoration Plan to map out pollution issues in three tributaries of the French Broad River that drain from downtown Asheville into the French Broad. We also received a grant award to work on residential solutions to stormwater runoff in 2021. For land conservation, we prepared to renew our Land Trust Alliance accreditation for the first time since attaining it in 2016. RiverLink also participated in the public announcement of the full partnership between UNC Asheville, the Preservation Society and RiverLink at the Wilma Dykeman Homestead. We had recorded an easement in 2019 on the property but the final stage completed the creation of a writers-in-residence program for which RiverLink will have representation on the advisory board.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0LEARN - Our K-12 education had to shift to more virtual offerings early in the pandemic. We were one of the first to conduct a major virtual event with the Kids Earth Day Festival and our Art & Poetry Contest. Thanks to our skilled staff and dedicated partners, we were able to hold a special event online. We also shifted many of our experiential lessons to a video format, providing local schools with additional resources to teach STEM-based lessons. By year's end, we were back to having some lessons outside. We also created lessons on an interactive learning app called Travelstorys. The year 2020 will go down as one of the most challenging but our staff, board, and community pulled together to keep our organization sustainable and to provide our impact.
