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.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 Mission or most significant activitiesDespite the COVID-19 pandemic, FYE 2020 was a great year! The year's significant activities were the permanent protection of 6,208 acres represented by the 5,777 acre Orange Hammock Ranch; 363 acre Myakka Headwaters Preserve; 40 acre Old Miakka Preserve Expansion; and the 28 acre Manatee Audubon Felts Preserve. As a nationally accredited land trust, we identify significant land parcels and work with landowners, philanthropists and governments to preserve and protect these lands in perpetuity. These properties will contribute to water quality, flood prevention, habitat protection, and unique public access. We unveiled our new, three-year strategic plan, The Call to Lead and published a new Vision Statement: We envision a future where the human and natural worlds of Southwest Florida flourish together. We revised our Mission Statement: To protect the land and water of Southwest Florida for the benefit of people and nature. We created our first Advocacy Team in Manatee County, partnered with Trust for Public Land and The Manatee Fish and Game Association to successfully place on the November ballot a bond referendum for a dedicated land protection funding source. Despite the pandemic, we continued our commitment to community engagement by pivoting our youth education programs to on-line events and continued to accomplish our mission by acquiring and maintaining conservation easements and owning nature preserves; educating for responsible land stewardship; and, collaborating with individuals, organizations and communities. We were innovative in how we engaged our conservation community and the public's awareness in the value of land conservation and our donor base grew by 70 percent.
