We partner with leaders and communities for just, meaningful impact to address the climate crisis. 0 0 11233018 2959724 1155548 Policy Relevant Research: Scientific excellence is the foundation for all of Woodwell Climate Research Center's activities, and distinguishes WCRC from other NGOs in the environmental sector. Through a holistic, multidisciplinary, applied, and team-focused approach, we seek to create breakthrough understanding of climate change impacts and solutions, for the purpose of informing sound environmental policies from the local to global scale. WCRC's research is focused on the land-climate connection - how changes in land use effect the climate system; how the changing climate is altering systems on land such as forests, ecosystems and agriculture; and what land-management strategies can harness the power of nature to slow climate change. Most of this research is conducted in the arctic and the tropics-critical regions where natural systems contain disproportionate shares of the planet's biodiversity and stored carbon, but where deforestation, agriculture, fire, and climatic warming place these assets at great risk. 3523883 249949 2175000 Center Funded Science: This category of expenditures represents Woodwell Climate Research Center's commitment to stimulating innovation, investing in future science leaders and investing in our scientific staff by funding projects of our own choosing. Center funded science aims to supplement/extend existing projects, or seed-fund projects that have the potential to have outsized impact in science and policy or which have good potential for return on investment by enabling external funding. 1831966 903692 Policy Engagement, Education and Communication: Woodwell Climate Research Center has a long and rich history of impacting climate policy processes at multiple levels, and sharing our scientific understanding of climate change with the world through cutting-edge communication and education programs. WCRC builds partnerships with local and national governments, non-governmental and private-sector organizations to implement and measure progress towards national commitments to the Paris agreement. To leave an educational legacy, WCRC offers hands-on experiential programs to train a new generation of climate science leaders. WCRC fosters immersive educational programs that encourage students to link field research with big-picture solutions in the challenging and fast-changing environments where we work. 16588867 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 84 0 1 128 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 26 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 DC AK AZ CA CO FL GA ID IN KY ME MD MA MT NV NJ NY OR PA RI TX VA WA WV WI X X X The Organization 5085409900 149 Woods Hole Road Falmouth MA 025401644 Gail Greenwald Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas Hynes Vice Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Fanger Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Roger Kranenburg Clerk 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Andre Guimarraes Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christina Deconcini Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Constance Roosevelt Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Cyrus Wadia Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Reifsnyder Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Georgia Nassikas Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn Prickett Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Ihsan Speede Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Izabella Teixeira Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jerry Brown Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Le Coq Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Kennedy III Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Mueller Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Robinson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kilaparti Ramakrishna Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Litterman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sanjay Wagle Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Tomasky Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Victoria Lowell Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Wilhelm Merck Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 William Pisano Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Max Holmes President & Chief Executive Officer 40.00 X X 402078 0 33137 Philip Duffy Past President & Advisor to the Pres/CEO 40.00 X 470711 0 59559 Corrie Martin COO 40.00 X 176279 0 1329 Wayne Walker Chief Scientific Officer PI 40.00 X 152095 0 61461 Leslie Kolterman Chief Philanthropic Officer 40.00 X 236838 0 54639 Heather Goldstone Chief Communications Officer 40.00 X 174571 0 19355 Lee Davis Chief People & Culture Officer 40.00 X 151092 0 45951 Barry Leonard Chief Financial Officer 40.00 X 106831 0 18287 Christopher Neil Senior Scientist PI 40.00 X 208496 0 36465 Christopher Schwalm Senior Scientist & Risk Program Director PI 40.00 X 190550 0 62175 Susan Natali Senior Scientist PI 40.00 X 190377 0 46841 Michael Coe Senior Scientist & Tropics Program Dir PI 40.00 X 188336 0 49952 David McGlinchey Chief of Government Relations 40.00 X 186398 0 45555 2834652 0 534706 31 0 1 0 90 West LLC 867 Boylston St 5th Floor Boston MA 02116 Media Relations 181000 MothDesign Inc 450 Harrison Ave Ste 303 Boston MA 02118 Strategic Design 135000 Rubino & Company 6903 Rockledge Dr Ste 300 Bethesda MD 20817 Accounting Consulting 120866 3 3000106 15269834 60000 18269940 Contract revenue 900099 4216578 4216578 Other program revenue 900099 17662 17662 4234240 502922 502922 2057318 1878723 178595 178595 178595 Other income 900099 19930 19930 19930 23205627 4234240 0 701447 2688788 2688788 520885 520885 2404700 1591090 586202 227408 8553988 5659818 2085237 808933 553832 366447 135010 52375 1504353 995367 366722 142264 820819 543102 200094 77623 165912 26316 139596 73129 73129 90768 90768 61400 61400 67549 67549 2033798 1173206 817570 43022 48198 1050 29193 17955 255081 231093 10622 13366 285942 1738 279164 5040 141373 20201 121172 1217595 993031 66854 157710 688566 293155 311196 84215 12924 12924 488154 403597 84557 113487 3453 110034 Common costs 767914 690413 64922 12579 Research supplies 305420 295349 10071 23864575 16588867 5571818 1703890 25274971 8605129 6690766 22153318 14756665 14726498 2048151 2041251 320642 238606 15257821 9725079 4685284 5532742 9122559 9968619 223454 337313 63122492 63603476 1641619 2662833 417185 0 1062649 947276 111121 74492 3232574 3684601 X 14816215 15131549 45073703 44787326 59889918 59918875 63122492 63603476 X -658948 675099 12806 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 9804388 13695014 17100999 42170121 18269940 101040462 9804388 13695014 17100999 42170121 18269940 101040462 23984787 77055675 191198 219828 185814 193697 502922 1293459 102333921 13503343 0.75300 0.79230 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 20000 0 1 100768 120768 0 Part II-B, Line 1: Woodwell Climate Research Center engaged in direct lobbying by meeting with federal legislators virtually and directly in Washington, DC.
