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 provision for the valuation allowance 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.
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 1Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast works to protect the character, natural integrity and biodiversity of Florida's Gulf Coast bays, beaches, barrier islands and their watersheds. This is accomplished by acquiring and maintaining conservation easements and owning nature preserves; educating for responsible land stewardship; and, collaborating with individuals, organizations and communities. As a nationally accredited land trust, we identify significant land parcels and work with landowners, philanthropists and government to preserve and protect these lands in perpetuity. We create a conservation community by bringing innovative conservation programs to people of all ages, ranging from guided kayak tours, native plant lectures, bird-watching hikes and outdoor educational activities for children. Environmental art exhibits are hosted throughout the year in our headquarters, the historic Burrows-Matson House, engaging the public's awareness in the value of land conservation and its role in inspiring artists.
