Mission
KACHEMAK HERITAGE LAND TRUST (KHLT) IS A NATIONALLY ACCREDITED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION FORMED IN 1989 FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSERVING THE NATURAL HERITAGE OF THE KENAI PENINSULA FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
-
LAND: Kachemak Heritage Land Trust proactively contacts landowners in priority areas to gauge interest in conservation projects. In addition, KHLT responds to and evaluates opportunities presented for conservation. KHLT works with partners to foster conservation projects, holds conservation easements and owns land for conservation purposes. KHLT is responsible for permanent preservation of land, which requires highly trained staff and sufficient funds to succeed, including defense of conservation easements when necessary.
Expenses $460,221 · Revenue $38,545
-
Stewardship: Once KHLT preserves land through conservation easement or by outright ownership, KHLT becomes perpetually responsible to ensure the conservation purposes for protecting the property are followed. This perpetual responsibility requires highly trained staff with proper equipment and the funds needed to sustain this work, including the funds necessary to defend the conservation values in court if needed. KHLT at least annually monitors property under its care and addresses violations of the conservation restrictions when necessary.
Expenses $209,721
-
COMMUNITY OUTREACH: KHLT CONDUCTS COMMUNITY OUTREACH THROUGH MULTIPLE MEANS, INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA, OUR WEBSITE, PUBLIC SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS AND AT COMMUNITY MEETINGS. KHLT PROVIDES OUR KENAI PENINSULA COMMUNITY WITH INFORMATION AND ACCESS TO CONSERVATION TOOLS DESIGNED TO MEET THEIR NEEDS, AS WELL AS INCLUDES COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN OUR STEWARDSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES IN PERMANENTLY CARING FOR LAND FOR WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE. MUCH OF OUR WORK IS DONE IN DEEP PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL BODIES AND AGENCIES, INCLUDING OUR BABY SALMON LIVE HERE SIGN OUTREACH PROGRAM, OUR KING MAKER PROGRAM WHERE WE AWARD GOOD SALMON STEWARDS, AND OUR FISH NEED LAND TOO PROGRAM CO-HOSTED BY KACHEMAK BAY NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
