Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Board members Asquith and Vargas were compensated by our partner organization Fundacion Natura Bolivia. No work was undertaken in the US related to this compensation, rather the work was to coordinate the grants made to Fundacion Natura Bolivia. These amounts were detailed and justified in proposals to our donors and were accepted by these donors, and so reflect fair market value. The amounts are for time spent on program activities in Bolivia by Asquith and Vargas, and were calculated, in coordination with the donors, in a comparison with similarly qualified professionals in similar organizations. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 All documents are available on request, and are available in online resources such as Guidestar.org. Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g Consultant fees for research on watershed, water quality and economics issue relevant to our programs.
