Prior to 2015 the Mattapoisett Land Trust's policy was to record conservation easements at cost or market value. Effective in 2015 the policy will be to record all conservation easements at a nominal value whether acquired by purchase or gift. Although the Mattapoisett Land Trust does not have a written policy with respect to monitoring conservation easements, members of the land trust have always made annual visits to the one property on which it holds a conservation easement. During the visits the property is inspected and its condition is documented. Since acquiring the easement by purchase in 2004, there have been no violations as the landowner is adhering to the restrictions. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. The temporarily restricted endowment funds are intended for maintenance of a Mattapoisett, MA landmark named Salty the Seahorse, for educational programs and for maintenance of Shoolman Park in the Brandt Beach section of Mattapoisett. No amounts are perpetual in duration and need classification as permanently restricted assets. Accordingly, all amounts, including original principal bequest of donors, have been classified as temporarily restricted assets. When the donor restrictions have been met, the endowment funds are appropriated for expenditure.The board designated or quasi-endowment fund is a reserve fund to assist in acquisitions and as a reserve fund for future legal costs related to stewardship.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process As The Mattapoisett Land Trust is an all volunteer organization, the president and treasurer, who also serve on the board of directors, are delegated the authority to oversee the filing of Form 990. The financial and other information which is ultimately reported on Form 990 is shared with all board members at their five meetings starting in September and concluding with the spring annual meeting. As a final step in the process, the Form 990 is distributed to all the board members for comment before filing. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts All newly elected directors of The Mattapoisett Land Trust are given a copy of its conflict of interest policy. That policy requires the director to disclose, at the time of election, all existing or potential conflicts of interest and to disclose any real or apparent conflicts of interest which arise during the term of the director. The policy also requires a director to abstain from discussing any issue, project or transaction in which the director has a conflict of interest and to absent himself, or herself, from any subsequent vote on the matter. Before discussion begins and before voting on a matter that might involve a conflict of interest, directors are reminded of their obligation not to participate if they perceive a conflict of interest. In addition, the board may request a director to take a leave of absence until the matter giving rise to the conflict of interest has been resolved. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available The Mattapoisett Land Trust will provide copies of its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements to anyone who requests them. In addition, a copy of The Mattapoisett Land Trust's Form 990 is attached to its annual filing with the Public Charities Division of The Massachusetts Attorney General's Office. These documents are public and open to inspection. Beginning with the year ending 12/31/2010, the land trust made its Form 990 available at its website.
