| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONTINUED): | CONSERVATION FUNDING WITHOUT A NEW BIPARTISAN BUDGET AGREEMENT FOR FISCAL YEARS 2018 AND 2019, FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION PROGRAMS ACROSS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE ONCE AGAIN FACED THE PROSPECT OF AUTOMATIC BUDGET CUTS. THE TRCP EMBARKED ON A YEAR-LONG EFFORT WITH KEY LAWMAKERS AND PARTNERS TO SOUND THE ALARM ON CONSERVATION FUNDING AND ENSURE THAT DECISION MAKERS KNEW WHAT WAS AT STAKE. BY USING COMPELLING OUTDOOR RECREATION ECONOMIC STATISTICS, WE MADE A STRONG CASE FOR REINVESTING IN THE CONSERVATION-BASED OUTDOOR ECONOMY. AS A RESULT, IN MARCH 2018, CONGRESS PASSED A TWO-YEAR BUDGET AGREEMENT THAT INCLUDED A 12 PERCENT INCREASE OVER FISCAL YEAR 2018 CONSERVATION FUNDING, EASING THE WAY FOR AN OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS ACT THAT DELIVERED STRONG FUNDING LEVELS FOR CONSERVATION AND SPORTSMEN'S ACCESS INCLUDING: $25 MILLION INCREASE FOR THE LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND, THE NATION'S SIGNATURE PROGRAM FOR THE CONSERVATION OF PUBLIC LANDS AND SPORTSMEN'S ACCESS; $73 MILLION FOR THE CHESAPEAKE BAY PROGRAM; $300 MILLION FOR THE GREAT LAKES RESTORATION INITIATIVE; $60 MILLION FOR SAGE-GROUSE CONSERVATION IN THE WEST. ALSO, IN MARCH 2018, THE TRCP WAS ONE OF JUST A HANDFUL OF CONSERVATION GROUPS IN THE ROOM AS CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS NEGOTIATED LANDMARK LEGISLATION TO IMPROVE THE WAY THE FOREST SERVICE PAYS TO FIGHT WILDFIRES AND MAKE SENSIBLE REFORMS TO NATIONAL FOREST MANAGEMENT. STARTING IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, THE FOREST SERVICE WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO BORROW MONEY FROM CRITICAL CONSERVATION PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THESE NATURAL DISASTERS. AGRICULTURE AND PRIVATE LANDS THE TRCP SUCCESSFULLY LED ITS 24-MEMBER AGRICULTURE AND WILDLIFE WORKING GROUP (AWWG) IN FIGHTING FOR A BIPARTISAN FARM BILL THAT WORKS FOR SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN AND PRIVATE LANDOWNERS. AS CONGRESS BEGAN DRAFTING THE LEGISLATION, ATTACKS TO THE CORE COMPONENTS OF THE FARM BILL'S CONSERVATION PROVISIONS RAMPED UP. THE TRCP RALLIED PARTNERS AROUND MAJOR PRIORITIES AS OUTLINED IN THE AWWG'S SPORTSMEN'S PLATFORM FOR THE 2018 FARM BILL, FOCUSING OUTREACH AND BEATING BACK MAJOR THREATS. THE TRCP SPEARHEADED THREE LETTERS THAT SUCCESSFULLY CALLED FOR FULL FUNDING OF THE SENATE FARM BILL'S CONSERVATION TITLE. IN TOTAL, NEARLY 300 SPORTSMEN AND CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS JOINED IN THIS EFFORT. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH AN ONLINE ACTION ALERT, WE DIRECTED OVER 2,000 LETTERS TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. ULTIMATELY, THE TRCP AND ITS COALITION WERE SUCCESSFUL, AND THE BILL WAS SIGNED INTO LAW IN DECEMBER 2018. |

B. THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE, IF APPROPRIATE, APPOINTS A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. C. AFTER EXERCISING DUE DILIGENCE, THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES WHETHER THE ORGANIZATION CAN OBTAIN WITH REASONABLE EFFORTS A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT FROM A PERSON OR ENTITY THAT WOULD NOT GIVE RISE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. D. IF A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS NOT REASONABLY POSSIBLE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES NOT PRODUCING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS WHETHER THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT IS IN THE ORGANIZATION'S BEST INTEREST, FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT, AND WHETHER IT IS FAIR AND REASONABLE.
