Part 3 - Line 4a
GENERAL SUPPORT PROGRAM: THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES FUNDING FOR THE CONSERVATION AND STEWARDSHIP ACTIVITIES OF APPROVED CANADIAN CHARITIES THAT HAVE BEEN PRE-QUALIFIED AS GRANTEES. THE REVENUES USED BY THE ORGANIZATION TO MAKE GRANTS COME FROM INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, AND PHILANTHROPIES THAT WISH TO UNDERWRITE THE PRESERVATION OF CANADA'S NATURAL HERITAGE AND BUILD THE CAPACITY OF CANADIAN ENTITIES ENGAGED IN NATURAL RESOURCE PRESERVATION. DONORS TO AMERICAN FRIENDS MAY RECOMMEND THAT ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSIDER MAKING A GRANT TO A SPECIFIC GRANTEE OR REQUEST THAT THEIR FUNDS BENEFIT A SPECIFIC PART OF CANADA.
CROSS BORDER CONSERVATION LANDS PROGRAM: THE ORGANIZATION ACCEPTS GIFTS OF ECOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT LAND (OR PARTIAL INTEREST IN SUCH LAND) IN CANADA'S MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE, SCENIC AND UNIQUE LANDSCAPES. CANADIAN NONPROFITS THAT MEET AMERICAN FRIENDS' STRICT CRITERIA, WHICH ARE BASED ON IRS DEFINITIONS OF QUALIFIED ORGANIZATIONS, PARTNER WITH THE ORGANIZATION ON ALL GIFT TRANSACTIONS. THESE PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS ARE CAREFULLY SCREENED THROUGH A RIGOROUS APPLICATION PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF BEING PERMANENT STEWARDS OF THE DONATED LANDS. IF APPROVED, THESE ENTITIES BECOME GRANTEES OF AMERICAN FRIENDS. WRITTEN CONTRACTS BETWEEN AMERICAN FRIENDS AND ITS GRANTEE ORGANIZATIONS - WITH ANNUAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS - ENSURE THAT DONATED LAND AND EASEMENTS WILL BE PROPERLY MONITORED AND MANAGED. THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS PARTNERS SECURE STEWARDSHIP FUNDS SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE COSTS OF CARING FOR THE DONATED PROPERTIES. THE LEVEL OF STEWARDSHIP FUNDING REQUIRED IS BASED ON A THOROUGH ASSESSMENT OF EACH PROPERTY'S NATURAL, CULTURAL AND RECREATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND THE POTENTIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS PERPETUAL CARE.
