Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

The finance committee of the board of directors reviews and approves the form 990. Approximately a week prior to filing the form 990, a draft in pdf format is sent to all finance committee members along with an email calling their attention to portions of the forms. Comments and corrections are strongly encouraged.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

The conflict of interest policy requires officers, directors, and key employees to annually disclose interests that could give rise to conflicts. The policy and disclosure form are distributed and collected annually, and individuals are required to update the disclosure form throughout the year in the event that potential conflicts arise. Potential conflicts of interest are reviewed by the board of directors.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

The board of directors reviews and approves the executive director's annual salary, with no participation by the executive director or other interested persons. The executive director's salary is established using comparable data for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similar nonprofits; consideration of roles and responsibilities of the executive director; and cost of living data. Comparable market data is obtained from salary surveys and form 990s filed by comparable not-for-profit organizations. Discussions and decisions regarding the compensation are documented in executive committee meeting minutes. The executive director also receives reimbursements for routine, reasonable, and documented expenses incurred during the year under an accountable plan. The executive director travels throughout our service area. The organization has a travel policy that caps reimbursement levels and requires low-budget travel.

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 5

The trust is responsible for monitoring the easements to ensure that their conditions are being followed. The trust first contacts the landowner to confirm and correct any easement issues. If unsuccessful, the trust works with the trust's attorney, executive director, and consultants to formulate recommendations for corrective actions with a deadline for compliance. The site is subsequently inspected to ensure compliance with the conservation easements.

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 9

A conservation easement is a legal agreement between a property owner and a qualified conservation organization. Conservation easements represent a perpetual restriction on the use of the land without transfer of ownership of the underlying property. The trust acquires conservation easements through donations and purchases from property owners. The trust does not record the conservation easements in its assets. The trust charges the landowner project fees to facilitate the transaction. A portion of the project fee is designated to support the perpetual stewardship and legal defense of the easement. The trust recognizes revenue from project fees as costs are incurred and the project is completed. Fees received in advance are deferred to future periods in which costs are incurred.

Schedule D, Page 2, Part V, Line 4

Board-designated endowment: board reserve for stewardship and legal defense of conservation easements, general conservation, and education. The balance of 1,924,569 was transferred to colorado open lands as part of the merger, effective december 31, 2024.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE TRUST IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING THE EASEMENTS TO ENSURE THAT THEIR CONDITIONS ARE BEING FOLLOWED. THE TRUST FIRST CONTACTS THE LANDOWNER TO CONFIRM AND CORRECT ANY EASEMENT ISSUES. IF UNSUCCESSFUL, THE TRUST WORKS WITH THE TRUST'S ATTORNEY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND CONSULTANTS TO FORMULATE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WITH A DEADLINE FOR COMPLIANCE. THE SITE IS SUBSEQUENTLY INSPECTED TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1A CONSERVATION EASEMENT IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN A PROPERTY OWNER AND A QUALIFIED CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS REPRESENT A PERPETUAL RESTRICTION ON THE USE OF THE LAND WITHOUT TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF THE UNDERLYING PROPERTY. THE TRUST ACQUIRES CONSERVATION EASEMENTS THROUGH DONATIONS AND PURCHASES FROM PROPERTY OWNERS. THE TRUST DOES NOT RECORD THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IN ITS ASSETS. THE TRUST CHARGES THE LANDOWNER PROJECT FEES TO FACILITATE THE TRANSACTION. A PORTION OF THE PROJECT FEE IS DESIGNATED TO SUPPORT THE PERPETUAL STEWARDSHIP AND LEGAL DEFENSE OF THE EASEMENT. THE TRUST RECOGNIZES REVENUE FROM PROJECT FEES AS COSTS ARE INCURRED AND THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED. FEES RECEIVED IN ADVANCE ARE DEFERRED TO FUTURE PERIODS IN WHICH COSTS ARE INCURRED.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2BOARD-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT: BOARD RESERVE FOR STEWARDSHIP AND LEGAL DEFENSE OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, GENERAL CONSERVATION, AND EDUCATION. THE BALANCE OF 1,924,569 WAS TRANSFERRED TO COLORADO OPEN LANDS AS PART OF THE MERGER, EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 31, 2024.
