Financial Statement Notes

PART II, LINE 9:

Acquisitions of conservation, open space, scenic, timber or other such perpetually obligated and enforceable easements shall be recorded as contribution of easement valued from the seller to sempervirens fund. Once such easements have been received and recorded by sempervirens fund svf, their value will be written down to $1.00 when easement valuation is not ascertainable and needs to reflect the fact that they have no future commercial or obtainable value.

PART III, LINE 4:

The organization's collection includes ansel adams artwork.

PART V, LINE 4:

Permanently restricted net assets represent endowment funds, for which the principal is to remain intact and earnings are available for use by sempervirens fund. The board of sempervirens fund has interpreted california's adoption of upmifa, which became effective january 1, 2009 as requiring the preservation of the fair value of the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowments absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. As a result of this interpretation, sempervirens fund classifies as permanently restricted net assets (1) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (2) the original value of subsequent gifts donated to the permanent endowment, and (3) additions to the permanent endowment in accordance with donor directions. The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets but is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the fund in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by california's enacted version of upmifa. Sempervirens fund's endowment currently consists of one fund created as the result of a bequest of $186,456 received with the stipulation that it be used for endowment purposes with income therefrom to be used for sempervirens fund's operations. All income earned on endowment fund investments is treated as temporarily restricted until appropriated by the board of sempervirens fund. The board of sempervirens fund considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor-restricted endowment funds: -the duration and preservation of fund. -the purposes of fund and the donor restrictions. -general economic conditions. -the possible effects of inflation and deflation. -the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments. -other resources of sempervirens fund. -the investment policies of sempervirens fund.

PART X, LINE 2:

The fund has been granted tax exempt status under section 501(c)(3) by the internal revenue service (irs) and under section 23701d by the california franchise tax board. Each year, management considers whether any material tax position the fund has taken is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Management believes that any positions the fund has taken are supported by substantial authority and, hence, do not need to be measured or disclosed in these financial statements.

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Impairment loss 2,945,966.

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

In fiscal year 2024 there will be a sale of six parcels of land to state parks at an impaired value, this requires us to record a land impairment write-off of $2,945,966 in fiscal year 2023.

IRS990/Desc0PROTECTING LAND THROUGH ACQUISITION AND TRANSFER IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, SEMPERVIRENS FUND SECURED A CONSERVATION EASEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $9,625,000 FOR THE 920-ACRE YMCA CAMP JONES GULCH IN LA HONDA, CA., WHICH INCLUDES WHAT WAS THE LARGEST UNPROTECTED STAND OF OLD-GROWTH REDWOODS IN THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS. SEMPERVIRENS FUND ALSO ACQUIRED TWO LAND PARCELS TOTALING 15.6 ACRES NEAR BIG BASIN REDWOODS STATE PARK STRENGTHENING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE PARK AND THE GATEWAY PROPERTY ACQUIRED IN FISCAL YEAR 2022.ACRE BY PROTECTED ACRE, AND WITH YOUR SUPPORT, WE PURCHASE, RESTORE, AND SAFEGUARD REDWOOD FORESTS IN THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS, ENSURING THEY WILL NEVER BE DEVELOPED, DEGRADED, OR DESTROYED. MUCH OF THE REMAINING REDWOOD FORESTS TO PROTECT IS PRIVATELY OWNED. WE WORK WITH WILLING SELLERS TO PURCHASE LAND AT FAIR MARKET VALUE, OFTEN TRANSFERRING THE LAND TO CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS OR OTHER LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCIES. WHEN TRANSFERING LAND TO CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS WE MAY RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR THE LAND WHICH IS BELOW ITS BOOK VALUE, THIS RESULTS IN A WRITE-OFF FOR THE IMPAIRED BOOK VALUE OF THAT LAND. IN FISCAL YEAR 2024 THERE WILL BE A SALE OF SIX PARCELS OF LAND TO STATE PARKS AT AN IMPAIRED VALUE, THIS REQUIRES US TO RECORD A LAND IMPAIRMENT WRITE-OFF OF $2,945,966 IN FISCAL YEAR 2023. THIS IS REFLECTED IN PART XI-9 AS A CHANGE IN NET ASSETS.WE ALSO OWN SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATION PROPERTIES, ON WHICH WE WORK TO RESTORE HEALTHY FORESTS AND HEAL LANDSCAPES. WE ALSO WORK WITH PRIVATE LANDOWNERS TO ESTABLISH CONSERVATION EASEMENTS THAT PROTECT THE NATURAL AND SCENIC RESOURCES ON THEIR FOREST LANDS, WHILE KEEPING THE PROPERTIES IN PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT PROTECTS THE LAND'S RESOURCES WITHOUT BUYING FEE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY ITSELF.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0LAND STEWARDSHIP SEMPERVIRENS FUND OWNS DIRECTLY OR THROUGH CONSERVATION EASEMENT MORE THAN 12,000 ACRES OF LAND. PERMANENTLY PROTECTING REDWOOD FORESTS ENSURES THAT THE PROPERTIES WHERE REDWOODS THRIVE ARE SET ASIDE TO KEEP FORESTS INTACT AND PRESERVED FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. WE WORK ACROSS SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPES, AND IN COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORS AND REGIONAL PARTNERS, TO SAFEGUARD THE HEALTH OF TREES, HABITATS, WATERWAYS, AND WILDLIFE.FOR EACH PROPERTY IN OUR CARE, WE GENERATE A STEWARDSHIP PLAN WHICH GIVES US, OUR PARTNERS, AND OUR NEIGHBORS CLARITY AND GUIDANCE ABOUT THE RESOURCES WE ARE PRESERVING AND THE NATURAL FEATURES WE ARE RESTORING. ACTIVE LAND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES INCLUDE WILDFIRE RESILIENCY PROJECTS SUCH AS ESTABLISHING SHADED FUEL BREAKS AND PRESCRIBED BURNING PROGRAMS; FOREST HEALTH PROJECTS, INCLUDING REMOVING DEBRIS, MAINTAINING TRAILS, CLEARING INVASIVE PLANTS, AND PLANTING NEW SEEDLINGS; AND RESEARCH PROJECTS SUCH AS WILDLIFE MONITORING, ENDANGERED SPECIES RECLAMATION, TRADITIONAL INDIGENOUS CULTURAL SURVEYS, AND MUCH MORE. AFTER SIGNIFICANT DISTURBANCES, SUCH AS WILDFIRE OR FLOODING, RESTORATION EFFORTS INCLUDE DEBRIS CLEAN UP, CULVERT REPLACEMENT, HAZARD TREE REMOVAL, WATERWAY RESTORATION, AND FUEL REDUCTION. IN RECENT YEARS, OUR STEWARDSHIP WORK HAS INCLUDED MILESTONE PROJECTS LIKE THE REMOVAL OF A DAM ON MILL CREEK IN SAN VICENTE REDWOODS RESTORING STREAM FLOW THAT LED TO THE RETURN OF COHO SALMON TO THE WATERSHED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN GENERATIONS TO FOREST RESTORATION PROJECTS ON MULTIPLE PROPERTIES THAT PRIORITIZE SUPPORTING SECOND-GROWTH REDWOODS THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW LARGER, MORE QUICKLY, AND TO ESTABLISH OLD-GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS THAT ENSURE REDWOOD RESILIENCY.
