FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1:	THE LAND TRUST ALLIANCE UNITES AND CHAMPIONS ORGANIZATIONS IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES WORKING TO SAVE NATURAL AREAS. BECAUSE OF OUR INNOVATIVE WORK MORE LANDOWNERS CHOOSE TO PROTECT THEIR LAND, CONSERVATION LEADERS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE AT SAVING LAND, STRONG NONPROFITS AND LEGAL SYSTEMS ARE MAINTAINED TO PROTECT LAND IN PERPETUITY, AND THE PUBLIC COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATION IS DEEPENED.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A:	EDUCATION AND CAPACITY BUILDING:IN 2014, THE ALLIANCE PROVIDED TRAINING AND PEER NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES TO OVER 3,500 INDIVIDUALS THROUGH RALLY 2014: NATIONAL LAND TRUST CONSERVATION CONFERENCE, IN-PERSON REGIONAL TRAININGS, WEBINARS, AN ONLINE LEARNING CENTER AND "ASK-THE-EXPERT" CONFERENCE CALLS. UTILIZING CIRCUIT RIDERS, A HANDFUL OF LAND TRUST ALLIANCE SPECIALISTS WHO PROVIDE REGIONAL ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT, AND ONLINE RESOURCES WE ARE ALSO BUILDING THE STRENGTH AND SUSTAINABILITY OF SMALL AND ALL-VOLUNTEER LAND TRUSTS. THIS PROGRAM EVOLVED FROM THE RECOGNITION THAT THESE SMALLER LAND TRUSTS DON'T HAVE A LOT OF BANDWIDTH TO GO TO CONFERENCES SO THE BEST WAY TO ENGAGE THEM IS TO GO TO THEM. FOUR CIRCUIT RIDER PROGRAMS SERVE 36 LAND TRUSTS IN CONNECTICUT, RHODE ISLAND, NEW YORK, WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE POTOMAC WATERSHED, AND THE PROGRAM MAY EXPAND TO OTHER REGIONS IN THE FUTURE. THE ALLIANCE INVESTED $132,000 IN GRANTS TO LAND TRUST PREPARING FOR ACCREDITATION BY THE LAND TRUST ACCREDITATION COMMISSION. ACCREDITATION INSPIRES EXCELLENCE, PROMOTES PUBLIC TRUST AND ENSURES PERMANENCE IN THE CONSERVATION OF LANDS BY RECOGNIZING LAND TRUST GROUPS THAT MEET RIGOROUS QUALITY STANDARDS AND STRIVE FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. THE BEGINNING OF 2015 SAW A NEW MILESTONE OF THE ACCREDITATION PROGRAM: 301 ACCREDITED LAND TRUSTS. IN 2014, THE ALLIANCE FURTHERED ITS COMMITMENT TO INVESTING DEEPLY IN THE CAPACITY AND GROWTH OF HIGH-POTENTIAL LAND TRUSTS NATIONWIDE THROUGH OUR NATIONAL LAND TRUST EXCELLENCE PROGRAM WHICH EMPHASIZES FOUR KEY AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT: ORGANIZATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY, STRATEGIC CONSERVATION PLANNING, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. AS A RESULT, LAND TRUSTS ARE TAKING ON AMBITIOUS PROJECTS AND PRIORITIES THAT THEY OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE DUE TO LACK OF RESOURCES, AND ARE GAINING GREATER INSIGHT ABOUT THEIR ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDS. IN 2014, THE ALLIANCE AWARDED GRANTS TO 57 LAND TRUSTS, TOTALING $895,266. STRONG, DYNAMIC LEADERS ARE CENTRAL TO ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS AND RESILIENCE SO WE DEVELOPED A COMPLEMENTARY TWO-YEAR LEADERSHIP PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES LAND TRUST STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS WITH GREATER SKILLS TO: 1) NAVIGATE THE INCREASINGLY COMPLEX AND SOPHISTICATED TECHNICAL, LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES THEY FACE; 2) ENGAGE WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES TO BUILD STRONG PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR CONSERVATION; AND 3) ENSURE THEY ARE LEVERAGING RESOURCES STRATEGICALLY TO MEET THEIR CONSERVATION GOALS AND BUILD RESPECTED, ENDURING INSTITUTIONS. IN 2014, 117 LAND TRUST LEADERS PARTICIPATED IN THE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B:	POLICY AND OUTREACH: IN 2014 THE LAND TRUST ALLIANCE CAME CLOSER THAN EVER BEFORE TO ITS GOAL OF MAKING THE CONSERVATION TAX INCENTIVE-ONE OF THE MOST EFFECT WAYS TO INCREASE THE PACE OF LAND CONSERVATION-PERMANENT. ULTIMATELY THE VOTE FELL SHORT, BUT THE ALLIANCE'S WORK TO ENLIST AMERICA'S TOP CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR POWERFUL MEMBERSHIPS, LAND TRUST PEOPLE AROUND THE COUNTRY, ALLIES IN CONGRESS AND EVERY ALLIANCE STAFF MEMBER, HAS SET UP A BIG WIN FOR THE INCENTIVE IN 2015. IN FEBRUARY 2015, THE AMERICA GIVES MORE ACT, WHICH INCLUDED THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT INCENTIVE, PASSED THE HOUSE IN A VOTE OF 279-137, DEMONSTRATING ENOUGH SUPPORT TO OVERRIDE A PRESIDENTIAL VETO. FOR CURRENT INFORMATION, GO TO WWW.LTA.ORG/POLICY. THIS SUCCESS IS MADE POSSIBLE BY LAND TRUST LEADERS WHO ARE MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE IN FEDERAL POLICY, ACTING AS LAND TRUST AMBASSADORS, AN INITIATIVE LAUNCHED BY THE ALLIANCE IN 2014 TO ENCOURAGE LAND TRUST LEADERS TO PROACTIVELY CULTIVATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS. THE GROWING POOL OF 100 AMBASSADORS HAS ACHIEVED GREAT THINGS. TO LEARN MORE GO TO WWW.LTA.ORG/AMBASSADORS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YALE UNIVERSITY, THE ALLIANCE BROUGHT TOGETHER 30 LEADERS FROM HEALTH, ACADEMIA AND NATURE-FOCUSED NONPROFITS AT THE JOHNSON FOUNDATION AT WINGSPREAD IN RACINE, WISCONSIN TO EXPLORE THE NEXUS BETWEEN HEALTH AND LAND CONSERVATION. WE CO-AUTHORED A DECLARATION AFFIRMING THE POSITIVE HEALTH BENEFITS FROM SPENDING TIME IN NATURE AND THE IMPERATIVE TO USE HEALTH AS A LENS IN GUIDING CONSERVATION. THE DECLARATION WAS RELEASED SIMULTANEOUSLY AT THE WORLD PARKS CONGRESS IN AUSTRALIA AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE IN NEW ORLEANS IN NOVEMBER, AND THE ALLIANCE LED MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT AND MEDIA OUTREACH AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE LAUNCH OF A WEBSITE. VISIT THE SITE AT WWW.HEALTHANDNATURE.ORG.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C:	CONSERVATION PERMANENCE: THE CONSERVATION DEFENSE NETWORK IS A NATIONAL HUB OF OVER 500 ATTORNEYS AND CONSERVATION LEADERS DESIGNED TO HELP DEVELOP AND DISSEMINATE CASE LAW, TRENDS, LEGAL ISSUES, PRACTICAL ADVICE AND PREVENTION STRATEGIES IN ORDER TO HELP LAND TRUSTS TO KEEP AHEAD OF EMERGING ISSUES AND PENDING LEGAL CASES. THIS GROUP OF DEDICATED CONSERVATION PROFESSIONALS IS WORKING NOT ONLY TO PROVIDE THE BEST DEFENSE POSSIBLE AGAINST CURRENT LEGAL THREATS BUT ALSO TO HELP EDUCATE THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSERVATION ATTORNEYS TO MAINTAIN AND STEWARD THE PROMISE OF PERPETUITY. IN 2014 THE CONSERVATION DEFENSE INITIATIVE HELD 4 MEETINGS OF THE NETWORK, ADDED 17 NEW CASE LAW SUMMARIES TO THE CONSERVATION DEFENSE CLEARINGHOUSE, HELD THE FOURTH SYMPOSIUM ON ADVANCED LEGAL TOPICS IN LAND CONSERVATION IN RENO, NEVADA, AND PROVIDED 6 SESSIONS ON RISK MANAGEMENT. THE ALLIANCE CONTINUES TO WORK WITH LAND TRUSTS ON SEVERAL PRECEDENT-SETTING CASES UTILIZING THE CONSERVATION DEFENSE FUND AND PREVAILED IN TWO SUCH CASES IN 2014. THE RESULTS OF THESE CASES COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT CONSERVATION EFFORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, MAKING THE DECISIONS ON THESE CASES CRITICAL. WE ARE DEVOTING OUR RESOURCES TO HELP INFLUENCE POSITIVE DECISIONS AND SET POSITIVE PRECEDENTS FOR CONSERVATION. FOR THE 2014 POLICY YEAR, TERRAFIRMA RISK RETENTION GROUP LLC, A CHARITABLE RISK POOL LAUNCHED BY THE ALLIANCE AND OWNED BY ITS MEMBER LAND TRUSTS, ADDED 30 LAND TRUSTS FOR A TOTAL OF 454 MEMBERS INSURING 22,277 PROPERTIES THROUGH THE PROGRAM, AN INCREASE OF 9% IN INSURED PROPERTIES OVER THE PRIOR YEAR. WHILE A STRONG LEGAL DEFENSE IS CRUCIAL TO UPHOLDING OUR COMMITMENT TO STEWARD CONSERVED LANDS IN PERPETUITY, IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT WITHOUT BROAD AND DEEP PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR CONSERVATION. COMMUNITY CONSERVATION IS AN APPROACH THAT USES THE MISSION OF LAND CONSERVATION TO RESPOND TO BROADER PUBLIC NEEDS. IT INVOLVES LISTENING TO THE CONCERNS AND HOPES OF MANY COMMUNITY VOICES, BUILDING NEW PARTNERSHIPS, AND BRINGING MORE PEOPLE INTO THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. THE RESULT IS WORK THAT REFLECTS COMMUNITY PRIORITIES AND CONNECTS MORE PEOPLE TO THE LAND. IN THE PROCESS, LAND TRUSTS WILL BECOME STRONGER AND BETTER ABLE TO STAY RELEVANT IN CHANGING TIMES. IN THE INITIAL YEAR OF THIS INITIATIVE, WE ESTABLISHED A COMMUNITY CONSERVATION LEARNING NETWORK TO FEATURE AND LEARN FROM LAND TRUSTS AND LAUNCHED A PRACTITIONER COMMUNITY ENGAGING LAND TRUSTS. TO ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT LAND TRUSTS IN ENGAGING IN COMMUNITY CONSERVATION, WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED STORIES IN ALL ALLIANCE COMMUNICATIONS: ENEWSLETTERS, ONLINE, AND OUR QUARTERLY MAGAZINE, SAVING LAND. GIVEN CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS, LAND TRUSTS ARE BEGINNING TO EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE MORE EFFECTIVELY WITH URBAN COMMUNITIES. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS ELEMENT WITHIN THE BROADER INITIATIVE, WE COMPLETED AN URBAN GREEN SPACE ASSESSMENT WHICH FOSTERED RELATIONSHIPS WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM A NUMBER OF POTENTIAL NATIONAL PARTNERS, FORGING POLICY COLLABORATIONS AROUND STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES. RALLY 2014: NATIONAL LAND CONSERVATION CONFERENCE FEATURED AN ENTIRE LEARNING TRACK DEVOTED TO COMMUNITY CONSERVATION (12 WORKSHOPS; 3 FEATURED SESSIONS) INCLUDING A POWERFUL RECEPTION FEATURING LOCAL CHILDREN WHO DESCRIBED HOW CONNECTING WITH A LAND TRUST AND THE LAND HAS CHANGED THEIR LIVES.
