Governance Explanations
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2
“Lawrence Stevens, the Director, became brother-in-law to Jaquelyn Ledbetter, the Secretary, and father-in-law to Darah Farrar, the Treasurer, through marriage in 2022 to Jeri Ledbetter, the Program Manager.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B
“A draft copy of the 990 form is provided to all board members for review and comment, prior to submission.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15B
“The salary for Director Lawrence Stevens was discussed and approved during a board meeting in 2022, based on comparable salary rates and the need for sole source acquisition due to Dr. Stevens' expertise. The board approved entering into a contract with him. The Board President signed the contract in January 2022, and renewed the contract in January 2023. This deliberation and decision is documented in board minutes. Due to staffing shortages in the fall of 2023, the Board unanimously approved entering into a short term subcontract agreement with Joseph Holway, the Board President, to assist with fieldwork. The Board also unanimously approved the rate, which is similar to other SSI employees and subcontractors. In January 2024, Dr. Holway resigned from the board in order to take on a compensated role with the organization.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19
“Bylaws, including the conflict of interest policy, our 2021 990-EZ, and 2022 990 are available to the public on our website at http://springstewardshipinstitute.org/staff. These documents are also made available upon request.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Springs Ecosystem Inventory and Assessment Consulting - The primary focus of our program is to inventory and assess springs ecosystems, and to make recommendations to land managers about improved stewardship. Land managers include private landowners, federal and state agencies, tribes, and other NGOs. We submitted an annual report for each project that included summary reports of data collected. We also provided a geodatabase to land managers, as well as hosting their data on Springs Online, our online database at https://springsdata.org. Most of SSI's support came from the US Forest Service. SSI has an MOU with the national-level forest service to manage all of their springs data. We also conducted ecological inventories for the State of Nevada. |

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 2 | The salary for Director Lawrence Stevens was discussed and approved during a board meeting in 2022, based on comparable salary rates and the need for sole source acquisition due to Dr. Stevens' expertise. The board approved entering into a contract with him. The Board President signed the contract in January 2022, and renewed the contract in January 2023. This deliberation and decision is documented in board minutes. Due to staffing shortages in the fall of 2023, the Board unanimously approved entering into a short term subcontract agreement with Joseph Holway, the Board President, to assist with fieldwork. The Board also unanimously approved the rate, which is similar to other SSI employees and subcontractors. In January 2024, Dr. Holway resigned from the board in order to take on a compensated role with the organization. |
