2015–2016 ANNUAL REPORT

Protecting the Land That Sustains Us That pace is necessary to get MALT to a new, ambitious goal: 100,000 acres Dear Members protected by 2040. We’re confident we can get there with the support of our community.

and Friends, That community starts with you. It’s everyone who treasures Marin’s working landscapes and believes in MALT’s mission. It’s the conservationists, ranchers, sustainability advocates, and innovative local food producers who are coming together for the common goal of protecting land in a sustainable way.

Without this community, and without your commitment to farmland, ’s family farms might have disappeared years ago. But thanks to your generous support, we’ve been able to protect 48,000 acres of Marin’s private farmland for farming. This year alone, we’ve saved three ranches: Gallagher North Bend, Fallon and Wilson Hill Road.

Alongside this year’s successes we’ve suffered a loss in our community. In August we were shocked by news that MALT board member Gail Seneca had passed away suddenly. Gail asked hard questions and pushed us all to think big because she believed in MALT’s mission and in Marin’s farmers and ranchers. We remember and honor her by moving ahead with bold plans.

With our deepened commitment to securing the land MALT is also committed to advancing sustainable agriculture: community-based farming that is eco- nomically and environmentally viable over the long term. Like our easements, MALT’s stewardship is forever—meaning that our work will evolve but will never be “done.” It’s a question we often hear “Aren’t you almost done?” We’re honored to be a part of this forward-thinking community of farmers, at MALT. Understandably—with almost 50,000 acres of farmland in Marin ranchers, and you, the donors, who make it possible. permanently protected it seems like a logical conclusion. With gratitude, In truth the answer is no—tens of thousands of acres remain to be protected. Over the last year MALT’s staff and board have been deep in planning and preparing for how we get to “done” from here.

The first step is clear: With demand for Marin farmland—for development, not farms—driving land values up sharply and many ranching families preparing to pass the reins to the next generation, MALT must quicken the pace of land pro- Jamison Watts Janine Guillot tection. We aim to double our rate of protection over the next five years. Executive Director Chair, MALT Board of Directors

San Francisco We are pleased to report that 2015–16 was another successful fiscal Financial year for MALT. We protected three ranches totaling 1,007 acres of Marin farmland. Our stewardship staff visited all 75 ranches already under MALT protection to confirm that the terms of each Report easement continue to be met. In preparation for easement acquisitions in the coming years, we evaluated five new ranches. MALT also successfully renewed our accreditation through the Land Trust Alliance, earning the organization accreditation through 2021.

2015–2016 The fiscal year 2015–16 was also a successful year for fundraising. Unrestricted cash contributions were $3.5 million, and almost $10.6 million was pledged by private sector donors for easement acquisitions, stewardship and support.

REVENUE: Total revenue of $17.9 million was up by $6.4 million from the prior fiscal year. This increase is mainly driven by gifts from generous individuals and family foundations.

EXPENSES: Total expenses of $7.2 million were up $300,000 from the prior fiscal year. The primary reasons for this modest increase were easement purchases on a higher number of acres this year versus last year and a minor increase in total staff costs.

NET ASSETS: MALT ended the year with almost $29.5 million in net assets, an increase of $10.8 million from last year. This increase is entirely due to successful fundraising efforts. This money will be put to use in the acquisition of three conservation easements planned and well underway to be completed in the fiscal year 2016–17, as well as several additional easements targeted for completion in subsequent years.

Thanks to the commitment of our individual supporters and public agency partners, MALT is well positioned to pick up the pace of farmland protection over the next few years. MALT’s efficient funding model, in which donor dollars are matched with public funds, coupled with the current availability of sales tax revenue from the Marin County Farmland Preservation Program, means that we can leverage private gifts to protect more land, faster.

The amounts presented on the opposite page are derived from MALT’s audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016. Copies of the audited report are available upon request.

5 Building on Success MALT Sets New Goals for Farmland Protection

The golden-hilled farmland of West Marin, just 30 community leaders. Today Marin bears their legacy—and MALT is making minutes north of the Bridge, looks like a scene from history. Yet ambitious plans for its future. it’s far from stuck in the past. Farmers and ranchers here have evolved to meet

But it was small compared to the massive development and economic success. freeways to the coast proposed for . Awakened to the possibility that According to the latest Marin County crop report, “the 2015 gross value of all rural Marin could be lost, the Board of Supervisors in 1973 approved A60 zoning, production is estimated to be the highest value ever recorded at $111,061,000. … which restricted the number of homes on agricultural land to one per 60 acres. 10 percent higher than the reported 2014 total agricultural production value.” In Zoning stopped suburban sprawl but didn’t secure the land for farming. At the the last 10 years, the value of Marin’s agricultural production has doubled. same time prices for milk, Marin’s main agricultural commodity, were falling Likely none of this would have happened without an innovative idea hatched by thanks to big agribusiness elsewhere in the state.

6 market. Pick up a MALT-protected carton of eggs, pound of beef, round of cheese or bunch of carrots at the farmers market or grocery store and you know it came from a nearby family farm.

Since 1980 MALT has protected 48,000 acres of Marin’s private farmland, forever. Farmers and ranchers have invested much of the easement sale money back into their land, creating, as Grossi describes it, “the high-quality, organic food our neighbors over the hill have come to expect from us.”

Protect More, Faster Now Marin’s food is in high demand, but so is the farmland on which that food is raised. “People want it for estates, not farms,” said MALT Executive Director Jamison Watts. “That drives up the price beyond the reach of farmers and ranchers. Once it’s converted to nonagricultural use, land is typically lost forever, which puts the pressure on MALT to work faster.”

This year MALT set two key goals: Doubling our pace of land protection over “The concept of conservation easements was introduced to us by an unlikely the next five years and hitting the 100,000-acre mark by 2040. The latter would pair of women, environmentalist Phyllis Faber and dairy farmer Ellen Straus,” essentially finish the “protect” phase of MALT’s mission, putting most of Marin’s recalled Ralph Grossi, who was working on his family’s Novato dairy ranch in productive farmland under conserva- the 1970s. “They came to the Farm Bureau with the concept, a committee was tion easement.
