| Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: | 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. |
| Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: | 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. |
| Schedule D 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. Schedule D 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. |
