organization that files Form 990 to
provide the required reporting for donor
advised funds, conservation
easements, certain art and museum
collections, escrow or custodial
accounts or arrangements,
endowment funds, and supplemental
financial information.

Who Must File

Specific Instructions
Part I. Organizations
Maintaining Donor
Advised Funds or Other
Similar Funds or Accounts

Complete Part I if the organization
answered “Yes” on Form 990, Part IV,
line 6.
Generally a donor advised fund is a
fund or account:
1. That is separately identified by
reference to contributions of a
donor or donors,
2. That is owned and controlled by a
sponsoring organization, and
3. For which the donor or donor
advisor has or reasonably expects
to have advisory privileges in the
distribution or investment of
amounts held in the donor advised
fund or account because of the
donor's status as a donor.

Note. Donor advised funds aren't
limited to funds or accounts that meet
the definition of “funds” under generally
accepted accounting principles.
Exceptions. A donor advised fund
doesn't include any fund or account:
1. That makes distributions only to a
single identified organization or
governmental entity; or
2. In which a donor or donor advisor
gives advice about which individuals
receive grants for travel, study, or other
similar purposes, if:
a. The donor or donor advisor's
advisory privileges are performed
exclusively by such person in his or her
capacity as a member of a committee in
which all of the committee members are
appointed by the sponsoring
organization;
b. No combination of donors or
donor advisors (and related persons as
Cat. No. 51527M

defined next) directly or indirectly
control the committee; and
c. All grants from the fund or
account are awarded on an objective
and nondiscriminatory basis following a
procedure approved in advance by the
board of directors of the sponsoring
organization. The procedure must be
designed to ensure that all grants meet
the requirements of section 4945(g)(1),
(2), or (3); or
3. That the Secretary exempts from
being treated as a donor advised fund
because either such fund or account is
advised by a committee not directly or
indirectly controlled by the donor or
donor advisor or because such fund
benefits a single identified charitable
purpose.
See Notice 2006-109, 2006-51 I.R.B.
1121, available at IRS.gov/irb/
2006-51_IRB/ar11.html, modified by
Rev. Proc. 2009-32, 2009-28 I.R.B. 142,

advisor includes any family member (as
defined in section 4958(f)(4)) of the
donor or donor advisor and any 35%

or their family members.
Column (a). Complete for all donor
advised funds held at any time during
the tax year by the organization as a
sponsoring organization.
Column (b). Complete for each similar
fund or account held by the organization
at any time during the tax year over
which a donor, or person appointed by
the donor, had advisory privileges for
distribution or investment of amounts
held in such fund or account, but which

of other similar funds or accounts
include the funds or accounts listed in
Exceptions above, as well as funds
otherwise prescribed by statute as
excepted from the meaning of a donor

the acreage consists of less than whole
numbers. For example, two and
one-half acres can be expressed as 2.5
acres.

historic structures held by the
organization at the end of the tax year.
A certified historic structure is any
building or structure listed in the
National Register of Historic Places as

historic district. See section
170(h)(4)(B) for special rules that apply
to contributions of conservation
easements on certified historic
structures in registered historic districts.

Line 4. Report in column (a) the
aggregate value at the end of the year of
all donor advised funds and in column
(b) the aggregate value at the end of the
year of all other similar funds or
accounts held by the organization.

Line 2d. Enter the number of
conservation easements included in
the answer to line 2c that the
organization acquired after July 25,
2006, and not on a historic structure
listed in the National Register.

Part II. Conservation
Easements

Line 3. To be eligible for a federal
charitable income tax deduction for the
donation of a conservation easement to
a qualified organization, the easement
must be granted in perpetuity. For
purposes of maintaining its tax
exemption, the recipient tax-exempt
organization must generally protect the
conservation easements it holds in
perpetuity.
Enter the total number of
conservation easements held by the
organization that were modified,
transferred, released, extinguished, or
terminated, in whole or in part, during
the tax year. For example, if two
easements were modified and one
easement was terminated during the tax
year, enter the number 3.
For each easement modified,
transferred, released, extinguished, or
terminated, in whole or in part, explain
the changes in Part XIII. Tax exemption
may be undermined by the modification,
transfer, release, extinguishment, or
termination of an easement.
For purposes of this Schedule D
reporting requirement, an easement is
modified when its terms are amended or
altered in any manner. For example, if
the deed of easement is amended to
increase the amount of land subject to
the easement or to add, alter, or remove
restrictions regarding the use of the
property subject to the easement, the
easement is modified. An easement is
transferred if, for example, the
organization assigns, sells, releases,
quitclaims, or otherwise disposes of the
easement whether with or without

Complete Part II if the organization
answered “Yes” on Form 990, Part IV,
line 7.
In addition to reporting on
conservation easements, also report
in Part II other interests in real property
that under state law have attributes
similar to a conservation easement and
are established for the purpose of
conservation and preservation (for
example, certain restrictive covenants
and equitable servitudes). Don't report
utility easements.
Line 1. Check the box for the purpose
or purposes for which the organization
held the easement(s) during the tax
year. Check all that apply.
Line 2. Provide an answer for each
item.
Line 2a. Enter the total number of
conservation easements held by the
organization at the end of the tax year.
This shouldn't be an estimate or a
rounded number.
Line 2b. Enter the total acreage
restricted by conservation easements
held by the organization at the end of
the tax year. Compute the total acreage
by adding together all the acres of land
subject to all the easements held as of
the end of the tax year. Don't include
conservation easements on certified
historic structures. Acreage can be
expressed in decimal points for
properties subject to easements where

consideration. An easement is released,
extinguished, or terminated when it is
condemned, extinguished by court
order, transferred to the land owner, or
in any way rendered void and
unenforceable, in each case whether in
whole or in part. An easement is also
released, extinguished, or terminated
when all or part of the property subject
to the easement is removed from the
protection of the easement in exchange
for the protection of some other property
or cash to be used to protect some
other property.
The categories described in the
preceding paragraph are provided for
convenience purposes only and aren't
to be considered legally binding or
mutually exclusive. For example, a
modification may also involve a transfer
and an extinguishment, depending on
the circumstances. Use of a synonym
for any of these terms doesn't avoid the
application of the reporting requirement.
For example, calling an action a “swap”
or a “boundary line adjustment” doesn't
mean the action isn't also a
modification, transfer, or
extinguishment.
Line 4. Enter the total number of states
where property is located and subject to
a conservation easement held by the
organization during the tax year.
Line 5. A qualified organization must
have a commitment to protect the
conservation purposes of the easement,
and have the resources to enforce the
restrictions. Report whether the
organization has a written policy or
policies about how the organization will
monitor, inspect, and handle violations,
and how it will enforce conservation
easements. If “Yes,” briefly summarize
such policy or policies in Part XIII. Also,
indicate whether such policy or policies
are reflected in the organization's
easement documents. Monitoring
means the organization investigates the
use or condition of the real property
restricted by the easement to determine
if the property owner is adhering to the
restrictions imposed by the terms of the
easement to ensure the conservation
purpose of the easement is being
achieved. Inspection means an onsite
visit to observe the property to carry out
a monitoring purpose. Enforcement of
an easement means action taken by the
organization after it discovers a violation
to compel a property owner to adhere to
the terms of the conservation easement.
Such activities can include
communications with the property
owner explaining his or her obligations

with respect to the easement,
arbitration, or litigation.
Line 6. Enter the total number of hours
devoted during the tax year to
monitoring, inspecting, handling
violations, and enforcing conservation
easements, as those terms are defined

purpose by any of the organization's
paid or unpaid staff and by any of the
organization's agents or independent
contractors.
Line 7. Enter the total amount of
expenses incurred by the organization
during the tax year to monitor, inspect,
handle violations, and enforce the
conservation easements it held during
the year as those terms are defined in
the instructions for line 5.
Line 8. Answer “Yes” if each of the
organization's façade easements
acquired after July 25, 2006, satisfies
the requirements of sections
170(h)(4)(B)(i) and 170(h)(4)(B)(ii).
Section 170(h)(4)(B)(i) requires each
façade easement donated after August
17, 2006, to include a restriction that
preserves the entire exterior of the
building, including the front, sides, rear,
and height of the building, and to
prohibit any change in the exterior of the
building that is inconsistent with the
historical character of such exterior.
Section 170(h)(4)(B)(ii) requires the
donor and donee to enter into a written
agreement certifying, among other
things, that the donee organization has
the resources to manage and enforce
the restriction and a commitment to do
so.
Line 9. Enter in Part XIII a description
of how the organization reports
conservation easements in its
revenue and expense statement and on
its balance sheet. Include in Part XIII, if
applicable, the text of the footnote to the
organization's financial statements
that describes the organization's
accounting for conservation easements
and the basis for its reporting position
(for example, Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) 02-7,
Example 1 (now codified in Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC)
350-30-55-29 to 55-32)).

(Form 990 or 990-EZ), Public Charity
Status and Public Support; Schedule B
(Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF),

reports revenue from such contributions
in its books, records, and financial
statements.

Part III. Organizations
Maintaining Collections of
Art, Historical Treasures,
or Other Similar Assets

Complete Part III if the organization
answered “Yes” on Form 990, Part IV,
line 8.

contributions of works of art, historical
treasures, and similar assets that don't
maintain collections as described in the
Financial Accounting Standards Board
Accounting Standards Codification 958
(FASB ASC 958) (including what was
formerly SFAS 116), aren't required to
complete Part III, but may be required to
complete Schedule M.
For lines 1 and 2, refer to FASB ASC
958 for meanings of the various terms.

Lines 1 and 2. Pursuant to FASB ASC
958, certain organizations can choose
one of two methods to report collections
of works of art, historical treasures,
or other similar assets held for public
exhibition, education, or research in
furtherance of public service. An
organization that doesn't recognize and
capitalize its collections for financial
statement purposes will report its
collections on the face of its statement
of activities, separately from revenues,
expenses, gains, losses, and assets. An
organization that recognizes and
capitalizes its collections for financial
statement purposes will report its
collections as assets and revenues
based upon its fair value measurement.
Line 1 pertains to collection items held
by the organization in furtherance of
public service, and line 2 pertains to
collection items held by the organization
for financial gain, as those terms are
described in FASB ASC 958.
Line 1a. If an organization has
elected not to capitalize its collections,
then provide in Part XIII the footnote(s)
to the organization's financial
statements that describe these
collection items.
Line 1b. If an organization has

as to these collection items from the
total revenue included on Form 990,
Part VIII, line 1. Also, provide on line 2b
the asset value assigned to these
collection items, which value should
also be reported as part of the
organization's total assets reported on
Form 990, Part X, line 16, column (B).
Line 3. Based upon the organization's
acquisition, accession, and other
records, check all boxes that best
describe how the organization utilizes its
collections, including the collection's
most significant use.
Line 4. In Part XIII, provide a
description of the organization's
collections and explain how these
collections further the organization's
exempt purposes.
Line 5. Answer “Yes” to line 5 if during

treasures, or other similar assets to be
sold in order to raise funds rather than
to be maintained as part of the
organization's collection.

Part IV. Escrow and
Custodial Arrangements

Complete Part IV if the organization
answered “Yes” on Form 990, Part IV,
line 9, or reported an amount on Form
990, Part X, line 21.
Lines 1a through 1f. If the
organization acts as an agent, trustee,
custodian, or other intermediary for
funds payable to other organizations or
individuals and hasn't reported those

arrangement in Part XIII.
Organizations that maintain escrow
or custodial accounts not reported on
Form 990, Part X, must record
increases or decreases in such
accounts by completing lines 1c through
1f.
Example 1. A credit counseling
organization that collects amounts from
debtors to remit to creditors holds funds
in an escrow or custodial account. If
the organization acts as a go-between
and doesn't report these funds as its
assets or liabilities on Form 990, Part X,

it must report the fund balances on lines
1c through 1f.

decide at any time to expend such
funds.

Example 2. An organization
providing down-payment assistance
that collects amounts from donors to be

pertain to the aggregate of the
donor-restricted assets held by the
organization, organizations formed and
maintained exclusively to further one or
more exempt purposes of the
organization, and organizations that
