| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 | During the year ending March 31, 2024, the Organization made changes to its bylaws. Specifically, the Organization approved three significant amendments to its bylaws for this tax year: 1. Article IV, Board of Trustees, Section 2, Trustees, was amended to state the following: "The Board shall consist of not more than 20 Trustees nor fewer than 12, one of whom is a member of the Newfound Audubon Committee appointed by that committee; one of whom is a member of the Massabesic Audubon Committee appointed by that committee; and the remainder of whom are to be elected by members of the Society at the Annual Meeting." The preceding paragraph supersedes and updates the Organization's previous bylaws' committees, chapters, and processes for board member appointment. 2. Article IV, Board of Trustees, Section 3, Honorary Trustees, was removed from the bylaws. 3. Article V, Committees, Section 1, Standing Committees, was amended to remove the requirement that Trustees are expected to serve on two Standing Committees or be Chair of one of the Standing Committees. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 | The Audubon Society of New Hampshire is a membership organization. Most members pay annual membership dues; some members are granted complimentary membership. Classification of members and the amount of their dues shall be determined from time to time by the Board. Any person or organization who applies for membership and pays an annual membership fee shall be a member of the Society. Such memberships may be canceled for nonpayment of dues. All members shall have the same rights within the Society. Non-dues paying members may be permitted at the sole discretion of the Board. Additionally, in order to encourage and increase statewide support of the Society's mission, the Board may authorize Regional Chapters. The purpose of Regional Chapters will be to increase the Society's membership and visibility by organizing public activities and events that align with the Society's mission and program priorities. The Organization has written policies and procedures governing the activities of such chapters, and chapters are disclosed and discussed in the Organization's governing documents. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | Members of the Organization elect the board at the annual meeting, and may exercise their right to influence the Board's composition. The Board shall consist of not more than 20 Trustees nor fewer than 12, one of whom is a Trustee of the Loon Preservation Committee, to be appointed by the Loon Preservation Committee; one of whom is a member of the Newfound Audubon Committee appointed by that committee; one of whom is a member of the Massabesic Audubon Committee appointed by that committee; and the remainder of whom are to be elected by members of the Society at the Annual Meeting. Trustees shall be members of the Society. The Officers of the Society shall consist of a Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary, all of whom shall be Trustees, and such other officers as the Board may from time to time determine. All officers shall be elected by the Board at the first Board meeting following the annual membership meeting, after consideration of the slate as may be recommended by the Trustee members of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Chair will normally not serve more than one two-year term unless elected to a subsequent one-year term by a 2/3 majority vote of the members present and voting at said Board Meeting. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b | Members of the Organization may influence or determine certain governance decisions of the Organization. A core way that the Members determine governance decisions of the Organization is through their role on various committees. Nominating and Governance Committee: This Committee, consisting of at least four members, oversees Board recruitment, Board performance, and performance of the President. Development and Membership Committee: This Committee, consisting of at least three members, oversees fundraising and fund development. The Committee Chair works closely with the Director of Membership & Development to guide fundraising strategies and actions. Finance, Audit, and Investment Committee: This Committee, consisting of at least three members, oversees finances, financial reporting, audit, tax returns, investment strategies, and other financial matters. The Committee Chair (Board Treasurer) works closely with the Director of Finance to guide financial strategies and actions. Environmental Policy Committee: An Environmental Policy Committee consisting of three or more members of the Society shall review public environmental policy issues in which the Society may have an interest, assist staff in the drafting of policy for the Society, and recommend to the Board for its approval positions to be taken to further the Society's goals. Sanctuaries and Land Management Committee: A Sanctuaries and Land Management Committee consisting of three or more members of the Society shall recommend to the Board for approval the acquisition or sale of real property and conservation easements. The Committee shall also advise and assist the staff in the management of all Society-owned or sponsored sanctuaries and other real property and any equipment and appurtenances thereto. Education Committee: An Education Advisory Committee consisting of three or more members of the Society shall consider issues important to the conduct of the Society's educational programs and recommend to the Board for its approval policies that may affect educational programming throughout the Society. Conservation Science Committee: A Conservation Science Committee consisting of three or more members of the Society shall consider issues important to the Conservation Department, including priorities for action, communications strategies, recruiting volunteers, and safeguarding the intellectual independence of the Society's research and analysis. Additionally, the power to alter, amend or repeal the Organization's By-Laws or to adopt new By-Laws, shall be vested in the Board of Trustees, but is subject to repeal or change by 2/3 majority action of the Members. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Treasurer of the Board of Trustees and the finance committee review the Form 990 and required schedules prior to submission to the IRS. The full Board of Directors may not receive a Complete Copy of the Form 990 (including donor information) prior to its filing, though the full Board of Directors will typically receive at least the public disclosure copy of the draft Form 990 prior to its submission with the IRS. Board Directors are also welcome to ask questions regarding the return as they consider the Organization's finances, operations, and tax obligations. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Conflict of interest disclosures are distributed to board members annually in October following our September annual meeting. Should a conflict of interest arise, the board is notified and that board member is restricted from discussion and voting on the issue. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | Executive compensation is reviewed by subcommittee of the Board of Directors and takes into account comparable data with other local organizations and accomplishment of goals. For any other officers or key employees of the organization, the same process will be followed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | All documents subject to public disclosure requirements are made available to the public upon request. |
| Form 990, Part XI, line 9: | Net change in value of split-interest trusts 56,889. |
| Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: | The audit process has not changed from the prior year. |
| Form 990, Part IX, Line 24, Beneficiary Payments | The Society established a pooled income fund in March 1993. Contributions to the fund are measured at the fair value of the assets to be received, discounted for the estimated time period until the donor's death using discount rates between 4.2% and 9.4%. Until a donor's death, the donor or designated beneficiary is paid the income (as defined under the arrangement) earned on the donor's assigned units. Upon the donor's death, the value of the units reverts to the Society. Amortization of the discount is recognized as a change in value of split-interest agreements in net assets with donor restriction in the statement of activities and change in net assets. The Society has entered into charitable gift annuity agreements whereby donors (or designated beneficiaries) receive payments for the remainder of their lives. The liability for these split-interest agreements is determined based on actuarial assumptions using discount rates between 4.0% and 7.4%. The amount of the contribution recorded by the Society is the fair value of assets received less the present value of the estimated annuity payments. Valuation changes in the annuity liability are reflected as changes in net assets with donor restriction in the statement of activities and changes in net assets. Distributions made pursuant to these annuity agreements are reported on Part IX, Line 24, as beneficiary payments. |
