The Internal Revenue Service has determined the Organization is not a "private foundation" within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. The Organization follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires financial statement recognition and disclosure for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of June 30, 2021, management determined that the Organization does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. With few exceptions, the Organization's federal exempt organization returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities and may change upon examination. Pt V, Line 4 The organization established two endowments, whose funds shall be used for the permanent and perpetual support of its mission, specifically for the maintenance, improvement, and construction of trails and Fossil Discovery Exhibit in Big Bend National Park. Pt VI, Line 11b Executive Director, immediate past Treasurer, professional outside CPA, and Treasurer reviewed the draft 990. The draft 990 was then forwarded to all Board members, soliciting questions or comments. Any concerns are referred to the CPA preparing 990. The Executive Committee is informed of any issues surfaced or changes made. Pt VI, Line 19 Audited financial statements are posted on the Organization's website. Other documents are made available upon request. Pt VI, Line 12c The board is informed of the policy when they go through new board member orientation. They are then required to sign a statement of agreement with the policy which also discloses any interests that could give rise to conflict. This is signed again at the first meeting of each calendar year which coincides with the orientation. This ensures that everyone has submitted a signed statement. The president notifies each board and staff member of the information provided by such member. Failure to provde the information can result in removal of such member from the board or staff. Pt VI, Line 15a After the departure of the former ED in December 2020, the Organization undertook a nationwide search; and a highly qualified executive director/CEO came on duty in March 2021. Compensation was established with consideration of published peer data from Candid's Nonprofit Compensation Report, informal survey of peers from the National Park Foundation Friends Alliance, and comparable salary data received in consideration of all highly ranked candidates. Other During Fiscal Year 2021 the Organization faced continuing COVID-19 challenges. There was greatly increased park visitation, despite restrictions affecting all federal facilities. The park is remote and isolated in the best of times, but COVID exacerbated logistics difficulties. However, the Organization received a substantial commitment of funds to aid recovery from the fire damage at the historic Castolon district and raised about a third of the funds needed for purchasing the Terlingua creek property for donation to the National Park Service. Although there was major staff turnover, no fundraising events were held, and a major fundraising event had to be postponed; volunteers and board members stepped up; and donations remained steady or increased in almost all categories.
