DescPROMOTING REGIONAL IDENTITY - We make the Hudson Valley more attractive to residents and employers by helping to create a shared sense of place and stewardship that is recognized far beyond our borders. We protect world-class scenic beauty; conserve family farms that supply fresh food to local and New York City consumers and drive a growing farm-to-table movement; create parks offering recreation and inviting spaces for people to gather; and mobilize citizens to speak out against threats to the Hudson River and other irreplaceable natural assets that make the valley a great place to live and visit.Desc

DescSTRENGTHENING RESILIENCY - We further climate-change adaptation and resilience in our land conservation and community planning work and develop new climate-mitigation policies consistent with our conservation values. We provide guidance for riverfront communities to adapt to and mitigate rising sea levels and other climate-change impacts, and develop strategies for embracing renewable energy without sacrificing core assets - iconic views, farmland, critical habitat, cultural/historic resources - that residents and visitors cherish. We help wildlife adapt by conserving lands containing irreplaceable (and flood-resistant) habitat and migration pathways. We also create and manage our parks to serve as models of resiliency.Desc

DescBUILDING COMMUNITY - We ensure that our work benefits all of the region's citizens, urban and rural, especially as demographic shifts continue. We respond to local concerns in diverse communities by partnering with residents and providing them with the expertise to turn neglected natural areas into safe places to exercise, relax, join with family and friends, and teach children about wildlife. In addition to uniting neighborhoods in a shared purpose, carrying out these initiatives affords much-needed skill-building opportunities for teens and has the potential to attract new investment and jobs - the key for revitalizing our cities.Desc

Part V, Line 4:USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: As articulated in detail in Part VII of Schedule R, Scenic Hudson, Inc. (SH) and The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc. (SHLT) are related, tax-exempt organizations. Neither organization holds a "permanent endowment," that is, a fund intended by the donor to preserve its original principal amount and thus where spending is restricted to income and other investment earnings. SH and SHLT do hold four "quasi-endowment" funds, which had a combined market value of $199,990,000 as of June 30, 2019, as follows: The Scenic Hudson Board Designated Fund is held by SH for the purpose of supporting the annual operating budget. Spending from the Board Designated Fund is determined annually by the board based on a percentage of the average balance over a rolling twelve-quarter period. As of June 30, 2019, the balance of the Board Designated Fund was $17,973,036. The Lila Acheson and Dewitt Wallace Hudson Valley Land Preservation Endowment (the "Wallace Fund") is a donor-restricted fund held by SHLT. It is principally used to support capital and other costs of purchasing land and conservation easements to meet SHLT's land preservation goals. Spending from the Wallace Fund is by application of the same spending rate determined by the Board and applied to SH's Board Designated Fund. Special appropriations are permitted under exceptional circumstances by Board approval, subject to donor restrictions. As of June 30, 2019, the balance of the Wallace Fund was $175,989,188. The Kathryn W. Davis Fund for Park Planning and Community Land Use (the "Kathyrn W. Davis Fund") is a donor-restricted fund held by SH. This fund is used to support SH's staff, consultants and other costs for park design, park management and land use planning. Spending from the Kathryn W. Davis Fund is by application of the same spending rate determined by the Board and applied to SH's Board Designated Fund. As of June 30, 2019, the balance of the Kathryn W. Davis Fund was $5,064,084. The Conservation Easement Enforcement Fund (the "Easement Enforcement Fund") is a board-designated fund held by SHLT. Appropriations are made at the discretion of the Board, generally by application of the same spending rate determined by the Board and applied to SH's Board Designated Fund. Spending is used primarily to cover legal and other costs incurred to support the perpetual obligation to monitor and enforce conservation easements and to defend lands held in fee for conservation. As of June 30, 2019, the balance of the Easement Enforcement Fund was $963,695. As required by the Instructions to Form 990, the combined value of these four funds is reported on Schedule D, Part V of the 990 for both Scenic Hudson, Inc. and The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc., notwithstanding that each such entity itself owns only two of such funds, as described above. Because of the small size of the Board Designated Fund relative to SH's operations, and the restricted purposes of the Wallace Fund, Kathryn W. Davis Fund and Easement Enforcement Fund, Scenic Hudson is highly dependent on donor contributions to meet its annual operating needs. Similarly, the capital costs of preserving the highest priority conservation lands in the Hudson Valley far exceed the appropriations available from the Wallace Fund. Accordingly, Scenic Hudson's land preservation program - which is run primarily through The Scenic Hudson Land Trust - is highly dependent on capital contributions from individuals, foundations and government entities.
Part X, Line 2:DISCLOSURE OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS: The Organization believes it had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, "Income Taxes," which provides standards for establishing and classifying any tax provisions for uncertain tax positions.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1:FURTHER CONTEXT FOR ORGANIZATION'S MISSION (CONTINUED): Scenic Hudson helps citizens and communities preserve land and farms and create parks where people experience the outdoors and enjoy the Hudson River. We also bring together people, businesses and government to protect the river and natural resources that are the engines of the valley's local economies.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b990 REVIEW AND OVERSIGHT PROCESS: The Audit Committee first reviews the 990 in draft form for Scenic Hudson and The Scenic Hudson Land Trust. Once the Audit Committee has satisfactorily completed its review, they will recommend distribution of the drafts to the full Board of Directors for review and acceptance at its next meeting. Electronic copies of the draft 990s are distributed to the full board in preparation for the meeting. The board is encouraged to review the draft and provide comments or seek clarification, where necessary, before their acceptance. The return is filed upon acceptance by the board. Public inspection copies of the 990 are available on the Organization's board extranet and on the Organization's website (www.scenichudson.org/about/financials).
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cMONITORING OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY: All board members and staff are required to review and sign the organization's conflict of interest policy annually. Board members who may have any real or perceived conflict of interest must abstain from discussion and voting around such issues. The Board of Directors reviews conflicts of interest that may arise (real or perceived) involving the staff. The Executive Committee (or the Board Membership and Governance Committee in some cases) reviews conflicts of interest (real or perceived) involving the executive team and board, however they may seek input from the full Board of Directors and/or legal counsel.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15PROCESS FOR DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION: Executive compensation is determined by the Executive Compensation Committee, who engages a third-party consultant who provides a market analysis with recommendations, in consultation with the Board of Directors. The Executive Compensation Committee also incorporates first hand research data on comparable organizations in Scenic Hudson's staff and/or budget size in their recommendations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19PUBLIC AVAILABLILITY OF GOVERNING DOCUMENTS: The following corporate governance documents are available to the public on Scenic Hudson's website (www.scenichudson.org/about/financials): * Form 1023 * Form 990 * Audited financial statements * Certificate of Incorporation * Corporate by-laws * Whistleblower policy * Conflict of interest policy
FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 2A:DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE: As detailed in Schedule R, Part VII, Scenic Hudson provides The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, a related organization who has no employees of its own, with the services of its employees, office space and general administrative support through a service agreement.

ExplanationEXPLANATION OF RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION: Scenic Hudson, Inc. (SH) and The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, Inc. (SHLT) are related, tax-exempt organizations. SHLT is a supporting organization to SH, and SH is the sole member of SHLT. Each organization has its own governing board, however, the board of SHLT is appointed by that of SH. General operations, including expenses related to staff and benefits, are carried on by SH while SHLT was founded exclusively for the benefit of and to serve the purposes of Scenic Hudson, to the extent that those purposes relate to acquiring and holding land in the Hudson River Valley, in order to preserve and protect such land for the benefit of the public, including transferring lands to federal, state and local governments and other nont-for-profit organizations. Accordingly, the Land Trust acquires conservation easements and normally holds title to program related investments in land and parks owned by the Organization. As SHLT does not have any employees, SH provides SHLT with the services of its employees, office space and general administrative support through a services agreement. Under this agreement, SHLT provides payment to SH of an amount approved annually via Board resolution for such services on a quarterly basis, which in fiscal year 2019 totaled $2,049,777.ExplanationTxt
