AFRANA accepted a donation of land containing a campground appraised at $1,875,000. The donor wished to give the land to Benton County, Oregon, immediately. However the county needed time to arrange an appraisal and to conduct public meetings to discuss the deal. AFRANA accepted the donation immediately, and held the land until the county had completed all necessary arrangements to accept the property. Then AFRANA transferred the land to Benton County so it could be incorporated into the county park system. This property was one of the original parcels proposed for the newly created County Parks System in the early 1960s. With transfer from AFRANA to the county this original goal for developing the county parks system has been accomplished. The donor transferred the property to AFRANA for $0.00. AFRANA transferred the property to the county for $0.00. 22500 0 0 Jackson-Frazier Wetland mitigation. A long term goal of AFRANA and the Benton County, Oregon, parks system is to replace an aging boardwalk in the county's Jackson-Frazier Wetland natural area. AFRANA received a large donation of $300,000 plus an additional $27,220 in individual donations for this work, dating back to 2019. The pandemic shut down all efforts to replace the boardwalk. Work has now restarted. Part of the costs to rebuild the new boardwalk include wetland mitigation to expand the "footprint" of the new boardwalk. The wetland is in a 100 year flood plain and is protected by Federal, State and local wetland protection laws. The mitigation is to satisfy all of these requirements and is necessary for the replacement of the existing boardwalk. AFRANA will also pay costs for the engineering design and the design of the supporting piers. The $327,220 also served as "seed" money for an additional approximately $2,000,000 in grants to the county for the project. 20708 0 0 Marys Peak West Point Project. This is a multi-year project started by the US Forest Service to restore meadows in the US Forest Service's Marys Peak Scenic-Botanical Special Interest Area. It is the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range and a popular recreation area and biological reserve. This is a continuation of a project started by the Forest Service in 2014 to remove trees and other vegetation that were encroaching into the meadows. At least 1/3 of the meadows visible in early (1940s) aerial photos have been lost to invading trees. The US Congress awarded funds for multi-agency projects. Part of the restoration area on Marys Peak is on City of Corvallis property and the rest on Forest Service land. The Forest Service was awarded funds for this project. They chose Cascade Pacific RC&D (a 501(c)(3) organization) to manage the funds for the project. Cascade Pacific hired AFRANA to oversee the work. AFRANA hired the Institute for Applied Ecology (a 501(C)(3) organization) to do the on-the-land work to remove invasive species, grow native species from seeds collected at the project site, and restore the native vegetation. 3866 0 0 Marys Peak Student Field Trips. Marys Peak Alliance (MPA) is a committee of AFRANA that serves as a friends group for Marys Peak, the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range. MPA conducts student field trips in cooperation with the US Forest Service. Our guides and interpreters are trained by the Forest Service and are certified as Forest Service Interpreters. Field trips for Earth Sciences classes from two local middle schools brings 500-600 students to the mountain each year. There they were led by guides to different interpretation spots where professionals in their fields describe the many aspects of the mountain's biology, geology, history and importance as a water source for local communities. This was the 12th year MPA has conducted these field trips. AFRANA pays for porta-potties and some travel expenses for these outings. 2432 0 0 Camas Fund. AFRANA established a Camas Fund to support planting of camas (Camassia quamash and Camassia leichtinii, native lilies) to reestablish historic camas fields in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Camas was an important food crop for the Native American populations. 2410 camas bulbs were purchased and planted in several locations to establish and expand camas fields. The work was performed by volunteers, including several classes from local middle schools as part of their study program on camas and its importance to Native American populations. 8000 0 0 Monroe Bridge Project. The City of Monroe, Oregon has a city park that is on the opposite side of a river from the town. The only pedestrian access is across the highway US 99W bridge that carries heavy vehicle traffic. AFRANA paid for the design of a pedestrian bridge across the river to connect the town to the park. The city is pursuing grants to build the bridge. 5457 0 0 McBee Property legal. AFRANA facilitated the transfer of 117.65 acres of land with a campground to the Benton County, Oregon, parks system. The $5,457 in expenses were AFRANA's costs for legal counseling and Title costs. The county subsequently granted funds to AFRANA to cover the costs incurred in the land transfer. 1200 0 0 AmeriCorps Grant. AFRANA provided a grant for housing of AmeriCorps workers for the Marys Peak West Point Project. 20955 0 0 1939163 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 OR X X Phillip Hays 5417579762 PO Box 101 Corvallis OR 97339 X Ellen Tappon President 6 0 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Powers Secretary 4 0 X X 0 0 0 Phillip Hays Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Carol Leslie Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jerry Davis Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jesse Ott Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3202 0 0 0 0 1893484 1875000 1896686 West Point Marys Peak Project 561000 23295 23295 0 0 0 0 0 0 23295 19147 19147 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1939128 42442 0 0 1898700 1898700 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5540 5540 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28625 28625 0 0 0 0 0 0 83 0 83 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2038 0 2038 0 Marys Peak Student Field Trips 3866 3866 0 0 Camas Fund expenditures 2432 2432 0 0 PO Box cost 176 0 176 0 Oregon Dept of Justice filing fee 105 0 105 0 103 0 100 3 1941668 1939163 2502 3 3530 10074 550646 541565 0 0 0 27 0 0 0 0 0 0 193 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 554369 551666 0 2046 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2046 X 13968 17984 540401 531636 554369 549620 554369 551666 X -2540 0 0 0 0 -2209 X 0 0 0 X 10121 12015 5207 24028 21686 73057 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10121 12015 5207 24028 21686 73057 4852 68205 5546 7324 5044 6325 19147 43386 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 116443 23295 0.58574 0.49595 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 Benton County Oregon a political subdivision of the State of Oregon PO Box 964 Corvallis OR 97339 936002285 a government entity 22500 1875000 Assessment Donation of land with a campground Cash Grant: AFRANA paid for wetland mitigation for replacement of a boardwalk at the county's Jackson-Frazier Wetland.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The entire Form 990 with Schedules is provided to Directors for review. Our Policy Manual requires Directors to review financial reports and IRS filings. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Directors who may have a conflict of interest on an issue that is being deliberated abstain from voting. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 AFRANA makes the governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available on the AFRANA web site www.afrana.org. These documents are also available on request. Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 We disposed of inventory valued at $193. These were books given out in volunteer training sessions and were part of the Beginning of Year assets. We had $27 receivable and $2046 payable at the end of the year. These were included in the IX-16 net assets, and the amounts were part of the IX-27 unrestricted assets. However, $2019 is a liability (part of the $2046 liability on X-26) and is part of the revenue shown on XI-1. To balance the results in Part X and Part XI $2019 must be subtracted from XI-1. The additional $3 difference may be attributed to round-off errors between the real dollars and cents values in our accounts and the resulting round-off to nearest dollar required in Form 990. $193 + $2019 = $2212. $2212 - $3 = $2209.
