Form 990, Part XI, Line 9

“The amount reported reflects 2024's unrealized gain associated with Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association's charitable remainder unitrust. This gain is recognized in the audited financial statements in accordance with GAAP, but it is not included in Form 990 revenue as the remainder interest is contingent upon a certain event and is not yet realized. Additional details are also provided on Schedule D, Part Xlll.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4

“Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association adopts investment and spending policies for the endowment to provide a predictable stream of funding for general operations, while maintaining purchasing power of the assets. The endowment was established for unrestricted support with the corpus of $50,000 to remain permanently donor-restricted.”

Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2A

“Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association is a remainder beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust. One beneficiary receives cash payments and Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association will receive the remaining assets upon that beneficiary's passing. Under GAAP, Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association's audited statements recognize the unrealized gains on the trust's investments as revenue. For tax-reporting purposes on the Form 990, such gains are not recognized as revenue until they are realized, that is, when Southwest Wetlands Interpretive Association receives the cash according to the trust terms. The difference is properly reconciled on Schedule D, Part Xl, Line 2a.”

Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4A

“Investment expenses associated with the Agee Stree Charitable Remainder Unitrust ($3,221); investment expenses associated with the endowment ($1,428)”

Schedule D, Part XII, Line 4A

“Investment expenses associated with the endowment totaling $1,428.”
