Part II, Line 5:Each property in CFGC's portfolio is monitored at least once annually by means of a site visit conducted by one or more CFGC staff personnel, during which a report is completed regarding the condition of the property. The report and any accompanying documentation, such as photos and maps, are archived according to CFGC Records Policy.
Part II, Line 9:Conservation easements, either purchased or donated, are initially valued at their appraised value. When donated, the appraised value is reflected as an unrestricted gift of land in the statements of activities. When purchased, the difference between the purchase price and the appraised value is reflected as an unrestricted gift of land in the statement of activities. Once the development rights for a specific conservation easement are extinguished, generally immediately after acquisition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying value of the conservation easement to a nominal value of $1, in order to reflect the lack of marketability of the easement, due to the extinguishment of development rights. The valuation is reflected as "Program Expenses" in the statements of activities.
Part V, Line 4:The quasi-endowment funds of the Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast are intended to support the foundation's current operations, and capital needs, as well as the costs to manage, monitor, insure, and provide legal defense of the protected properties. Traditional endowment funds are designated by the donor and support specific properties' stewardship costs.
Part X, Line 2:Under the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Foundation has reviewed and evaluated the relevant technical merits of each of its tax positions in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Foundation.
Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:In-kind special event expenses netted against FS revenue -660.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 Mission or most significant activitiesConservation Foundation protects land and water for the benefit of people and nature. A nationally accredited land trust, we partner with landowners, businesses, government, and the community to identify critical land parcels and protect them in perpetuity. Our urgent work is accomplished by purchasing natural areas, holding voluntary land conservation agreements, creating and restoring native habitats, and educating for responsible land and water stewardship. We continue to steward natural areas on twenty different properties totaling over 2,500 acres. This includes scrub and pine flatwood restoration on Pine Island in Lee County, Myakka River restoration in Sarasota, and scrub restoration in Myakka City. Our work contributes to water quality, flood prevention, wildlife corridor connectivity, habitat protection, and unique public access, benefiting all those who call our region home. Despite the ongoing pandemic, in 2021 we completed a massive, landowner outreach effort across four counties - Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, and Hardee - in which we identified hundreds of environmentally significant parcels of land and reached out to their landowners to begin establishing relationships. We also ensured our ability to quicken the pace of conservation by increasing our staff with four new positions. These additional roles allow us to save more land faster, engage more people in nature, and support our growing conservation community. Our youth education programs continue to expand in both the number of partner organizations and counties we reach through programming. We continue to be innovative in how we engage our constituents and increase the public's awareness of the value of land conservation, bringing us ever closer to a future in which the human and natural worlds of Southwest Florida flourish together.
