Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part II, Line 9:During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Organization purchased a parcel of land in the town of Jefferson, Maine for $1,220,000. As part of that purchase, the Organization applied for a $260,000 conservation easement through the Agricultural Land Easement program of the United States Department of Agriculture. Until the Organization's easement application is approved, the Organization has a liability due to the original seller of the land in the amount of $260,000. As a result, this amount has been included as a component of accounts payable and accrued liabilities at both December 31, 2023 and 2022, in the accompanying statements of financial position.
Part V, Line 4:At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Organization held board-designated and donor-restricted endowments amounting to $17,504,561 and $14,826,193, respectively. The purpose of these endowment funds is to provide investment income and gains to further various activities of the Organization, including a provision for financial aid and related expenditures. The organization has adopted a total return spending policy. Under this policy, an amount equal to 3% (adjusted-down from 4% in November, 2022) of the market value of the fund (4.5% for the Damariscotta Lake fund), based on a rolling three-year average of the fund's calendar year-end market value, shall be available to the organization each year.
Part X, Line 2:The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Organization's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. In addition, the Organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2) of the Code. Under GAAP, the Organization must recognize and disclose in its financial statements a liability for any uncertain tax reporting positions it has taken or expects to take when, despite the Organization's belief that its tax return positions are supportable, it is possible that certain positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. Interest and penalties, if any, related to accrued liabilities for potential tax assessments are included in income tax expense. Management has determined that no liability for uncertain tax positions exists as of December 31, 2023.
Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Cost of goods sold 118,365. Fundraising event expenses 13,262.
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Cost of goods sold 118,365. Fundraising event expenses 13,262.
Schedule D, Part II, Conservation Easements:The Organization holds ownership over approximately fifty acres of undeveloped and natural land that has been deemed by the State of Maine to constitute a conservation easement. As part of the Organization's responsibility under this easement-designation, the Organization is to exercise stewardship over the acreage by keeping the property in its natural and undeveloped state. Accordingly, the Organization expends very little direct cost or time to the property other than annual inspections and minor landscaping expenses; overall, the Organization holds the land to protect it in its wild and unchanged state of being, but otherwise does not interfere with the conditions or natural environment of this property. Therefore, the Organization is unable to provide an amount of the staff time or costs spent in preserving the easement, though the Organization estimates that resources expended on these easements, if any at all, were nominal and immaterial to the Organization's operations.

ExplanationHenry Kennedy served as the Organization's Executive Director Emeritus during the period covered by this Form 990, and served as the Organization's Executive Director in prior tax years. Henry Kennedy has also been a strong believer, advocate, and supporter of the Kieve Wavus mission and operation for many years. To support the Organization, Henry Kennedy, either directly or through his trusts and business interests, has provided loans to the Organization so that it may purchase land and real estate to expand its campuses and to further its exempt mission. All loan agreements offered by Henry Kennedy were subject to review and approval by the Organization's Treasurer at the time of such loan. Any fees, charges, or interest rates on these loans was set in reference to the Federal Reserve long-term government bond yield interest-rate at the time of the original loan agreement. Accordingly, the rates on these loans have not been deemed to be unreasonable; the rates were set with the intention of maintaining an objective, measurable fair market yield, without construing any unreasonable private benefit or advantage upon Henry Kennedy. In other words, it was the position of the Organization's Treasurers at the time of these loan agreements that the loan was taken due to a fair, arm's length transaction. The outstanding balances for each loan, and the applicable lending body, are disclosed on this Schedule L, Part II, and in total on this Form 990, Part X.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2Henry Kennedy and Sam Kennedy have a family relationship.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 is prepared with the assistance of an independent CPA firm. The CPA firm coordinates with key officers and finance personnel of the Organization to prepare and review a draft of the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. Once a completed draft of the Form 990 is prepared, the drafted return is sent to the finance and audit committee and other members of the Board of Trustees for their review and consideration; any members of the finance committee, the audit committee, or the board of trustees who are able to vote on or review the Form 990 must be deemed to be external independent trustees, and such persons must also be knowledgeable of the finances of the Organization. As these individuals consider the drafted Form 990, they are given the opportunity to ask questions and to address any concerns with the tax filing or otherwise. Lastly, the finance and audit committees meet with the Organization's engaged independent accountants to discuss the Form 990. Subsequent to this meeting, these committees will then recommend acceptance and filing of the Form 990 to the Organization and Board at large, on or before the IRS filing due date. The full Board of Trustees will issue a formal, recorded vote to accept the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. The majority of the Board of Trustees are provided the Public Disclosure Copy of the Form 990 prior to filing; only key personnel and select trustees and officers review the Complete Copy of the Form 990. The only information contained in the Complete Copy that is not provided in the Public Disclosure Copy are the names and addresses of donors disclosed on Schedule B. All other information disclosed on the Form 990 is made available for the Board's review and comment prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Organization requires board members to review and sign a conflict of interest form at the annual meeting each year. Board members are required to report and potential conflicts arising during the ensuing year as they occur.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aFrom time-to-time the Organization will engage in a comprehensive review of the compensation package offered to its Chief Executive Officer. The purpose of this review is to ensure that the CEO's wages and benefits are appropriate and in alignment with the quality and level of services performed and with industry standards. This review has historically included the analysis of comparability data, including comparison and consideration of executive compensation paid by similar institutions. This review has also included insight from legal counsel and other knowledgeable and independent persons. The Compensation Committee shall oversee, plan, and determine the compensation of the Executive Director and shall oversee compensation of the Corporation's senior leadership. After establishing a comprehensive and secure model for executive compensation, the Organization may use that model as a framework when considering the compensation and benefits to be offered to its other employed officers and key personnel. However, such a detailed compensation study is not typically done for other officer positions. Rather, officers other than the Chief Executive are compensated based on the framework established specifically for the Executive. For this reason, form 990, Part VI-B, Line 15b has been marked "no". Though the compensation and benefits paid to officers and key personnel other than the Chief Executive does not undergo the same level of intensive scrutiny or comparability study as does the Executive's compensation package, the Organization believes that the framework established while determining the Executive's compensation provides a reasonable model to base other employees' payroll on, and that the compensation paid to other officers and key personnel is appropriate relative to the quality and level of services performed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c:The audit was subject to the review and oversight of the Organization's Executive Director, finance and audit committees, and key financial and business personnel within the Organization. Additionally, the Organization's audited financial statements and Form 990 are subject to review by the Organization's independent Board of Trustees prior to their issuance.
