Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“This Form 990 was reviewed by the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Compliance with the conflict of interest policy is reviewed with the officers and directors at the first Board meeting each year. Officers and directors self-report any potential conflicts. All members are expected to monitor and identify potential conflicts of interest, and are advised to abstain from voting on matters where there may be a potential conflict.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The compensation and benefits of the Executive Director are established by the Board of Directors upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee. Committee members determine that they are independent, consider comparable data based on a sample of similar organizations and consultation with an independent compensation consultant, and document their decisions comtemporaneously. The process is undertaken annually, and last took place in 2024.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, policies, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

IRS990/Desc0Trail operations: Improve and maintain the Colorado Trail. The Colorado Trail Foundation sponsored 21 trail crews with a total of 651 volunteers. These trail crews built and refurbished hundreds of water diversions, removed trees and undergrowth, and eliminated rocks impeding the trail. Adopter volunteers cleared the trail, sawed and removed hundreds of fallen trees, cleaned water diversions, repaired rockslides,and repaired, replaced, and installed signs enabling hikers and horses to stay on the trail. Averaged out over the length of the Colorado Trail, this is roughly 20 hours of volunteer work per mile of trail. In all, 651 volunteers worked a total of 11,805 hours with 11 USFS Ranger Districts, 6 national forests, 2 ski resorts and other partner organizations to protect the trail for Colorado Trail users.All of this effort made 2024 one of our busiest years on record!
