The Conservancy acquires, protects, and holds land for conservation purposes. Land is valued at cost or, in the case of donated land, at fair value on the date of the contribution.The Conservancy capitalizes certain costs incurred during the time the land is beingacquired and protection activities are underway. These costs include due diligence,demolition of structures, legal fees, and miscellaneous other items to return the land to its natural state.The Conservancy holds certain conservation easements and deed restrictions(easements), each representing a legal interest in land owned by another person or entity. The easements grant the Conservancy the right to use, control, and/or protect the land for conservation purposes. Easements can be acquired by donations from landowners or by the sale of a piece of land owned by the Conservancy, where part of the agreement is that the Conservancy retains the easement on the land after sale. Easements acquired through donation and easements established by retention of rights are not recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, the Conservancy obtains easements through purchases directly from owners. Purchased easements are recorded at cost and reduced to a carrying value of zero by expensing the amount of the easement purchase funded by revenue without donor restrictions and/or the amount of any restricted grants received specifically for the easement purchases.THE ENTITY SOMETIMES SELLS LAND TO AN ORGANIZATION TO BE MANAGED AS A HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE. STATE LAW RESTRICTS THE AMOUNT THE ORGANIZATION CAN PAY PER ACRE OF LAND; THEREFORE, THE PROPERTY IS SOLD FOR LESS THAN MARKET VALUE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ACTUAL SALES PROCEEDS AND THE FAIR MARKET VALUE IS RECORDED AS A DONATION OF LAND. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. The Board of Trustees designated unrestricted net assets to create two quasi-endowment funds to support various missions of the Organization. false IRONMASTERS CHALLENGE 27120 13451 13669 1000 3074 9595 27120 13451 13669 1000 3074 9595 13669 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD MEMBERS PRIOR TO FILING.
