    Identifier Return Reference Explanation
      FORM 990PF. PART VIII, LINE 1 AND CONTINUATION OF STATEMENT 10: THERE IS SOME AMBIGUITY IN THE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE INTENT OF THE REQUEST FOR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO "HOURS/WEEK." IN 990PF RETURNS PRIOR TO 2020, WE INTERPRETED IT TO REFER ONLY TO THE HOURS PER WEEK RELATED TO WORK BY "TRUSTEES" IN THAT CAPACITY -- IN OTHER WORDS, NOT INCLUSIVE OF HOURS SERVED IN OTHER CAPACITIES, E.G. AS EMPLOYEE/ADMINISTRATORS. ON RECONSIDERATION IN 2020, WE CONCLUDED THAT THE BETTER READING WAS TO INCLUDE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS PER WEEK SERVED IN ALL CAPACITIES AND THAT FIGURE IS AGAIN REFLECTED IN THIS RETURN. IN FACT, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS PER WEEK SERVED BY THE TRUSTEES WHO ALSO SERVE AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS HAS NOT CHANGED BETWEEN TAX YEARS 2019, 2020 AND 2021. WHILE NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST, EXAMPLES OF THE JOB DUTIES OF THE CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS INCLUDE: 1) DESIGNING AND MANAGING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A RESIDENCE FOR ON SITE STAFF; 2) DESIGNING AND OVERSEEING A SIGNIFICANT RENOVATION AND EXPANSION OF THE MAIN FACILITY, A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT THAT ENABLES THE FOUNDATION TO SERVE SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODES; 3) MANAGING THE FOUNDATION'S SUBSTANTIAL ($18 MILLION) ENDOWMENT; 5) RECRUITING AND MANAGING EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING THE DIRECTOR OF NATURALIST EDUCATION, 6) EXTENSIVE OUTREACH TO NON-PROFIT GROUPS TO QUALIFY AND SERVE BENEFICIARIES OF THE FOUNDATION'S OFFERINGS; 7) DESIGNING, STAFFING AND IMPLEMENTING AN ARRAY OF PROGRAMS, TO INCLUDE AN ILLUSTRATED NATURE TRAIL, ART THERAPY, YOGA, MEDITATION AND OTHER WELLNESS ACTIVITIES, 8) DEVELOPING AND MAINTAINING AN EXTENSIVE ORGANIC VEGETABLE GARDEN (WHICH SERVES BOTH A PROGRAMMATIC FUNCTION AND SUPPLIES THE KITCHEN WITH FRESH PRODUCE (ALL EXCESS IS DONATED FREE OF CHARGE TO LOCAL FOOD BANKS); 9) MANAGING COMPLEX LEGAL AND TAX ISSUES, INCLUDING COVID PROTOCOLS; 9) DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING AN ARRAY OF TEAM BUILDING EXERCISES FOR "CHANGEMAKER ORGANIZATIONS; 10) RETAINING FACILITATORS TO SUPPORT PARTICIPANTS' STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSIONS, 11) EXTENSIVE OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY, RESULTING IN NUMEROUS COST FREE EVENTS FOR LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, AND MORE.PLEASE ALSO SEE STATEMENT 18.
      FORM 990PF. PART I, LINE 23: CULINARY, HOUSEKEEPING AND SELECTED DIRECT RETREAT COSTS:100% OF OPERATING AND CAPITAL EXPENSES SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION. FOR EXAMPLE 1) THE SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN EXPANDING AND RENOVATING THE FACILITY ENABLES US TO BETTER SERVE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND ASSURE COMPLIANCE WITH STATE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODES; 2) THE SALARY OF OUR HEAD OF AGRICULTURAL AND NATURALIST OPERATIONS AND ASSOCIATED EXPENSES SUPPORT OUR ORGANIC VEGETABLE GARDEN AND NATURE WALKS WHICH ARE CRITICAL PARTS OF OUR BENEFICIARIE'S EXPERIENCE.

      FORM 990PF. PART IX-A LINE 1: THE NON-PROFIT UPLANDS CENTER SUPPORTS GROUPS WHOSE MISSION IS TO CARE FOR OTHERS OR TO EFFECT POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE WORLD THROUGH COLLECTIVE WORK. LOCATED ON 290 ACRES OF SWEEPING FARM AND WOODLANDS IN THE WESTERN CATSKILLS, THE UPLANDS PROVIDES A FLEXIBLE SETTING FOR A HOST OF ACTIVITIES, DEPENDING ON THE GROUP'S PARTICULAR GOAL. FOR THOSE GROUPS WORKING TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE WORLD, THE SETTING SUPPORTS STRATEGIC PROGRAM DESIGN, TEAM BUILDING, AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. FOR ORGANIZATIONS DEDICATED TO CARING FOR OTHERS, AN ARRAY OF RESTORATIVE PROGRAMS AND OFFERINGS ARE AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT GROUPS WHOSE WORK IN SERVICE OF OTHERS IS ESPECIALLY DEPLETING, INCLUDING HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, EDUCATORS AND FIRST RESPONDERS.GROUPS ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE GROUNDS, CONFERENCE FACILITIES AND MEALS THAT DRAW FROM THE ORGANIC GARDEN.

IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2019, WE SUSPENDED MOST OPERATIONS IN ORDER TO BEGIN A LARGE RENOVATION AND EXPANSION PROJECT. IN EARLY 2020, THE NATION WAS STRUCK BY THE COVID PANDEMIC AND OUR ABILITY TO CONDUCT RETREATS WAS LEGALLY SUSPENDED UNTIL LATE SPRING 2021.

WE REOPENED IN LATE MAY 2021 AND HAVE HOSTED MULTIPLE EVENTS DURING THE BALANCE OF THE YEAR THROUGH 2022, INCLUDING SEVERAL FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS WHO HAD SERVED VALIANTLY DURING THE PANDEMIC, OFTEN IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF ALMOST UNIMAGINABLE STRESS AND PRESSURE.
