Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 3: Description of Delegated Duties to Management Company

The van Eck Forest Foundation (the "Forest Foundation") has contracted with Pacific Forest Trust ("PFT"), one of its supported organizations, to provide various forest management services for the Forest Foundation. PFT is a Section 501(c)(3) public charity and conservation organization whose exempt purposes overlap with those of the Forest Foundation relating to the protection of significant natural, ecological, forest, scenic and open space values ("Conservation Values"). PFT is also the holder of conservation easements on the properties of the Forest Foundation and it assists the Forest Foundation in the maintenance, operation and harvesting of its forest properties consistent with the Conservation Values.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 9: Officer, Director, Trustee, Key Employee Mailing Address

Dr. Robert Wagner715 W. State StreetWest Lafayette, IN 47907-2061

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

A complete copy of the final Form 990 was provided to the Chairman of the Foundations Board of Trustees approximately a week before filing. The Chair was instructed to direct any comments or questions to the tax preparer or the Forest Foundations legal counsel prior to filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

The Forest Foundation is governed by a Declaration of Trust which includes an article on conflicts of interest. Any trustee who has an interest in a contract or other transaction presented to the Forest Foundation for authorization, approval or ratification is required to make a prompt and full disclosure of such interest to the Trustees prior to action on such matter. The trustees (other than the disclosing trustee) then make a determination whether the disclosure shows that a conflict of interest exists or can reasonably be construed to exist. If so, the disclosing trustee shall not vote on, nor participate (other than presenting factual information) in the discussions or deliberations with respect to such action.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15B: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees

The Forest Foundation does not compensate its trustees and it has no other officers or employees. Accordingly, no process for compensation was necessary.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available

The Foundation does not make its governing documents, policies, or financial statements available to the public.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The van Eck Forest Foundation (the "Forest Foundation") has contracted with Pacific Forest Trust ("PFT"), one of its supported organizations, to provide various forest management services for the Forest Foundation. PFT is a Section 501(c)(3) public charity and conservation organization whose exempt purposes overlap with those of the Forest Foundation relating to the protection of significant natural, ecological, forest, scenic and open space values ("Conservation Values"). PFT is also the holder of conservation easements on the properties of the Forest Foundation and it assists the Forest Foundation in the maintenance, operation and harvesting of its forest properties consistent with the Conservation Values.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Dr. Robert Wagner715 W. State StreetWest Lafayette, IN 47907-2061
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2A complete copy of the final Form 990 was provided to the Chairman of the Foundations Board of Trustees approximately a week before filing. The Chair was instructed to direct any comments or questions to the tax preparer or the Forest Foundations legal counsel prior to filing.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The Forest Foundation is governed by a Declaration of Trust which includes an article on conflicts of interest. Any trustee who has an interest in a contract or other transaction presented to the Forest Foundation for authorization, approval or ratification is required to make a prompt and full disclosure of such interest to the Trustees prior to action on such matter. The trustees (other than the disclosing trustee) then make a determination whether the disclosure shows that a conflict of interest exists or can reasonably be construed to exist. If so, the disclosing trustee shall not vote on, nor participate (other than presenting factual information) in the discussions or deliberations with respect to such action.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The Forest Foundation does not compensate its trustees and it has no other officers or employees. Accordingly, no process for compensation was necessary.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The Foundation does not make its governing documents, policies, or financial statements available to the public.
