The Foundation works closely with numerous partners in land acquisition, land stewardship, habitat restoration, and habitat enhancement activities across the Bay. As an accredited land trust, the Foundation protects natural areas by acquiring real estate and partnering with landowners to establish conservation easements on private lands. Program income is generated where appropriate from grazing and hunting leases and baling of hay. Habitat restoration activities work to ensure healthy habitats for productive and sustainable populations of native species. (Continued on Schedule O) Restoration sites all around Galveston Bay focus on protection of eroding shorelines; restoration of wetlands, oyster reefs, coastal prairies, and bird rookery; and removal of marine debris. The Foundation maintains a native plant nursery to provide stock for habitat restoration work around Galveston Bay and offers native plant sales within the community. The Foundation also collects oyster shells from local restaurants to return to the bay to build oyster shell breakwaters and provide habitat for oyster spat. 741990 25602 Education and outreach programs aim to connect our community to Galveston Bay and inspire lifelong stewardship through diverse programs, training, tools, and events that reach tens of thousands of people each year. The Foundation's youth education programs connected students in the classroom and in the field with hands-on STEM curriculum and resources. The Foundation also offers rain barrel installation workshops and distributes rain barrels to the public. Ongoing public outreach campaigns and initiatives target segments of the population to increase awareness of the importance of Galveston Bay and address specific issues of concern. 306463 1211 Research programs monitor trends affecting Galveston Bay's most valuable coastal resources. Current efforts monitor dolphin populations (in partnership with the Environmental Institute of Houston), marine debris, and water quality at sites around Galveston Bay. These efforts are collaborative, involving research partners throughout the region and beyond. Several utilize trained citizen scientists to augment professional monitoring data. Findings are widely communicated through data portals, public presentations, and scientific publications. Most monitoring efforts are ongoing in an effort to collect large datasets spanning many years, though some are initiated to allow the Foundation to respond to specific incidents impacting the bay. 85448 Advocacy programs aim to give a voice to Galveston Bay, taking an inclusive and collaborative approach to protect the health and well-being of the bay. The Foundation attempts to balance the multiple uses of Galveston Bay so that the long-term interests of the Bay itself are not compromised. Through initiatives such as the Galveston Bay Report Card (released in partnership with the Houston Advanced Research Center) and the Galveston Bay Action Network (GBAN) pollution reporting app, the Foundation provides tools to enable the public to take positive actions for Galveston Bay. 85448 10767602 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 84 0 1 59 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X X Dawn Wahl Asbury 2813323381 1725 Highway 146 Kemah TX 77565 Janelle Daniel Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Burroughs 1st Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Edward Randall 2nd Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian C Sauer Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Brad Robbins Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Charlie Prioleau Immediate Past Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Monty Briscoe Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Trisha Conley Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Doyle Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 JP Fjeld-Hansen Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Gaido Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Patrick Giffhorn Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Pat Hammond Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Hudgins Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Shawn Jackson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Fay Kirby Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jay Lendrum Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Myerson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Larry B Neuhaus Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Tollett Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Leia Wilson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Robert J Stokes Jr President 40.00 X 187400 0 5622 Nicole Scanlin Director of Development 40.00 X 166297 0 10389 Greg Loushine Director of Strategic Partnerships 40.00 X 142686 0 4281 Dawn Asbury Controller 40.00 X 137515 0 9525 633898 0 29817 4 0 1 0 Apollo Environmental Strategies 1017 W Loop 281 2 Longview TX 75604 Shoreline, wetland restoration 6996000 Satterfield & Pontikes Construction 11000 Equity Dr Houston TX 77041 Construction 625796 Ducks Unlimited One Waterfowl Way Memphis TN 38120 Environmental restoration 440978 Kirksey Architecture 6909 Portwest Dr Houston TX 77024 Architectural design services 318497 Streidl Krueger Farm LLC 9921 Kleppel Rd Tomball TX 77375 Invasive species treatment 160925 6 1119489 8460103 10099656 4543243 19679248 Workshop fees & other revenue 900099 99543 99543 99543 601277 601277 126068 0 126068 126068 126068 264746 1119489 596093 -331347 -331347 15546 0 15546 15546 20190335 99543 0 411544 24664 24664 587480 126557 185777 275146 1901667 1275078 181836 444753 60896 26108 17832 16956 97540 52607 29603 15330 185903 90469 49542 45892 20655 17273 3382 47341 47341 218182 97400 80976 39806 25732 5135 20597 247802 180574 891 66337 86712 14221 21554 50937 223447 208897 6762 7788 86045 74232 2104 9709 27085 22620 3187 1278 39545 39545 176463 128766 25618 22079 113459 69912 31238 12309 Conservation services 7942565 7942565 Conservation easements 321666 321666 Event supplies 70823 26084 11135 33604 Licenses, permits, fees 64589 4180 5487 54922 29109 19049 1004 9056 12599370 10767602 701887 1129881 668641 230833 8002524 15777766 3055736 2929203 51720 26348 50876 29717603 789091 23663282 28928512 354414 270702 2000 35772945 48239612 688694 716313 60571 47619 155476 25476 562168 4553203 1466909 5342611 X 24232437 28275729 10073599 14621272 34306036 42897001 35772945 48239612 X 7590965 1000000 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 11264606 21351975 6477456 19132900 19679248 77906185 33534 33534 33534 33534 134136 11298140 21385509 6510990 19166434 19679248 78040321 3498780 74541541 10214 16132 169742 441011 727345 1364444 120000 120000 79524765 382628 0.93730 0.91780 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Insurance proceeds - 2020 Amount: $ 120,000.

Enforcement of easements is conducted primarily through landowner education and relationship building, but also carries legal insurance if litigation becomes necessary. All easements are monitored, inspected, and enforced. Part II, Line 9: Conservation easements represent rights to restrict the use, access, and development of certain properties. The foundation monitors these easements in the normal course of its operations, and associated costs are expensed as incurred. The Foundation receives gifts of conservation easements and grants toward the purchase of conservation easements, which represent numerous restrictions over the use and development of land not owned by the foundation. The donated value of the conservation easements are recorded, based on the estimated appraised value, as revenue when received and estimated conservation easement expense is recorded for an equal amount. Easements are not reported as assets because the Foundation does not believe the easements represent a future economic benefit. Part IV, Line 2b: GBF held $25,476 on behalf of another nonprofit organization for a designated project. The funds were recorded as a liability on the balance sheet under 'Funds Held for Others.'
