Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

The 990 is prepared by independent accountants, reviewed by management, presented to the Finance Committee for review, and once approved, presented to the entire Board for review and comment.

Pt VI, Line 12C

All Trustee members and staff must sign an annual conflict of interest statement acknowledging that they understand the policy and procedures. As part of this policy there is a disclosure procedure if there is knowledge of a possible conflict of interest.

Pt VI, Line 15A

Compensation to the Executive Director is determined by the board with survey analysis of other land trusts and nonprofit organizations

Pt VI, Line 18

Forms 990 are available on the IRS website and the websites of many charity watch organizations and upon request. Form 1023 is available upon request.

Other

Mission Statement continued: We achieve this through long-term conservation relationships with private landowners and public agencies and owning and managing land. We are committed to creating and supporting equitable, healthy and thriving communities for everyone in our region.

Pt VIII

Line 6b - Rental expenses are detailed in Form 990-T.

Financial Statement Notes

Pt II, Line 5

SAHC has a conservation easement monitoring & enforcement policy thats been adopted based on guidelines set forth by the Land Trust Alliance through its accreditation process. Monitoring is performed by a Land Stewardship Coordinator. SAHC has enforcement capability & maintains a legal defense fund.

Pt II, Line 9

SAHCs policy related to reporting of conservation easements as stated in the audit is as follows: Easements received by donation are not recognized in assets or in income, and easements purchased are expensed.

Pt V, Line 4

To generate income for conservation easement stewardship, land acquisition and other conservation purposes consistent with the purpose and terms of each endowment fund.

Pt X, Line 2

SAHC 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 organizations tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. SAHC had income from unrelated business activities during the 2024-25 fiscal year and is therefore required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). SAHC anticipates that there will be no tax due on its 990-T. It 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/Desc0Over the past fiscal year we completed 19 major conservation transactions discussed below which protected 2,820 acres of key mountain lands. This includes 15 fee simple purchases and 4 conservation easement purchases. The total value of the 19 transactions was $28.1 million. Landowner donation value was $3 million. The purchase price of the transactions was $25.1 million. At times the organization purchases land below appraised value in transactions that were not planned to be bargain purchases. In this tax year that difference totaled $0.3 million.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Our Farmland Access Program supports local communities, local food production, and the long- term productive use of farmland. We work with different members of the farming community to ensure that our agricultural resources stay productive - providing local food from local farms. We continue to work toward our goals to Protect and Steward land, and to advance opportunities for access to land, in order to carry out SAHCs Vision and Mission. Our Connecting People with Nature program connects people with land for outdoor recreation, health, fitness, well-being and learning. We led 34 outings for over 700 people to protected places.
