OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: All grant agreement documents have payment provisions and terms and conditions for use of funds. Payments are made in incremental amounts for grants above $25,000 based on the cash flow needs and progress of the recipient. After the initial payment, all subsequent payments are made after receipt, review, and acceptance of signed financial and regular review of technical reports from the grantees. Final payments are made upon receipt and acceptance of final deliverables. All agreements, receipt of deliverables, and payments are tracked using a database designed for tracking of grants. All payments are documented in the accounting system. Grantee can only receive more funding than was in the original agreement budget through the issuance of an amendment document. For all government funded agreements, an expanded financial report is required from the Grantees. This includes monitoring adherence to donor requirements with emphasis on adherence to procurement requirements; use of equipment, timesheets, and separate bank accounts if required. For high risk grantees, additional monitoring requirements are employed as applicable, such as copies of general ledgers, receipts, bank reconciliations, and site visits. Grantees receiving more than $100,000 are required to submit an annual(outside) audit. Grantees receiving government funding are subject to additional donor requirements, including project audits or expense verifications. If Grantees are subject to an OMB A-133 audit, WWF seeks confirmation of an unqualified audit opinion. If there are findings, a corrective action plan is developed in collaboration with the Grantee and monitored for improvement; documentation is required as needed.

FORM 990, FY21 Results, Part III: In FY 2021, WWF made valuable strides in addressing some of the most significant conservation challenges facing the planet. Among many achievements, we note these: Alerting the world to zoonotic threats. The illegal and unsustainable consumption and trade of wildlife, as well as global deforestation, have long stood as two root causes of zoonotic disease outbreaks. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, WWF responded quickly to help educate consumers and governments around the world about the intersection of conservation and zoonotic threats, mobilize partners and the public, call for immediate actions like closing high-disease-risk wildlife markets in Asia, and integrated zoonotic disease prevention into our global efforts to stop deforestation and wildlife crime. We conducted an extensive, five-country survey with the market research firm GlobeScan and found this advocacy was indeed having an impact. The study showed that changes in government policy were a strong predictor of consumer behavior change, reinforcing how vitally important it is to continue our efforts to encourage governments to eliminate deforestation from supply chains and more effectively regulate wildlife trade. In the US, that has meant working with members of Congress to support the introduction of the Global Pandemic Prevention and Biosecurity Act, which would help to protect nature, prevent high-risk wildlife trade, and reduce demand for risky animal products - all while ensuring the rights and needs of local communities and Indigenous Peoples are protected and supported. Increasing tiger populations and protections WWF celebrated key victories for tiger conservation in FY2021. First, we saw a tripling of tiger numbers-from 10 to 30-in Russia's Land of the Leopard National Park, thanks to increased efforts to address poaching and other wildlife crime, protect natural habitat, and prevent illegal logging. Second, to ensure the roughly 5,000 captive tigers in the US aren't also contributing to the illegal wildlife trade, WWF supported the Big Cat Public Safety Act, which was passed by the House at the end of 2020 and has been recently introduced into the Senate. Returning bison to Native lands At the beginning of FY2021, the Rosebud Economic Development Corporation, with support from WWF and Rosebud Tribal Land Enterprise, successfully transferred 100 plains bison from National Park Service land to the Wolakota Buffalo Range, also known as the Rosebud Indian Reservation, in South Dakota. The animals will make up the first of as many as 1,500 bison to be welcomed home to Rosebud's 27,680-acre bison area; at capacity, they will become North America's largest Native American owned and managed bison herd. The transfer marks a reunion between the bison and the Native communities who lived together in a symbiotic relationship for millennia. And it is a step toward restoring the rich biodiversity of the Northern Great Plains. Developing a plan to cut US food waste in half WWF brought together a coalition of food waste experts, businesses, non-governmental organizations, and local leaders across the US to address the problem of food loss and waste, which accounts for 40% of all food produced in the country and contributes to more carbon pollution than the entire US airline industry. Our joint action plan contributed to the introduction of the Zero Food Waste Act in the U.S. House and Senate, a bill that would provide state governments, Native Nations, and local leaders with much-needed resources for food waste prevention, measurement, and recycling-and put the nation on a path to cutting food loss and waste in half by 2030. Engaging key audiences to protect forests Forests are under threat. In 2020, the tropics lost more than 30 million acres of tree cover, and an emergency of this magnitude needs an all-hands-on-deck approach. So this year, WWF launched Forests Forward, a new program that engages and advises major companies on how to use nature-based solutions and responsible sourcing to meet sustainability goals while protecting forests and the rights of people in forest communities. To date, five leading companies have signed on as Forests Forward participants in the United States. WWF also worked to exponentially expand our successful Project Finance for Permanence model through collaboration with some of the biggest contributors to conservation and philanthropy. This nascent effort is poised to bring new funding to protect forests and other conservation areas at a truly global scale. Designing a plan for water security and renewable energy in Nepal Nepal has committed to dramatically expanding its clean energy generation, with the planned increase driven almost entirely by future hydropower projects. A series of technical studies, funded by USAID and conducted by WWF and partners over a 5-year period, provided Nepal with an important new blueprint for securing its healthy rivers, mitigating climate change, and building a functional renewable energy future-all while preserving Nepal's exceptional natural heritage and setting an example for other nations to follow. Keeping a dangerous mine at bay Oceans regulate the climate, produce half the oxygen we breathe, and nourish the world with their fish stocks. Yet the health and population of many of those fish stocks and other marine species are declining due to illegal fishing, pollution, and other harmful human activity. In the case of Bristol Bay's salmon, that activity is the construction of a mine. In the face of such threats, this year's victory in Alaska's Bristol Bay was especially heartening. For decades, WWF worked alongside a host of local and national partners to protect the bay's communities and prolific salmon fisheries from the toxic threat of an open pit mine known as the Pebble Mine being built at the headwaters far upstream. This year, that effort-fueled in part by direct outreach from more than 635,000 WWF supporters-paid off when the US Army Corps of Engineers denied a crucial permit to build Pebble Mine. Accelerating climate solutions The climate crisis is the challenge of our time. If humans continue to degrade nature, the impacts we're already experiencing-floods, drought, wildfires, and resource shortages-will continue to increase. That's why WWF is working to jumpstart the use of nature itself to reduce carbon emissions and limit global temperature rise. Nature-based approaches aim to both protect nature and harness its power to mitigate climate change for a more resilient future. In 2021, the Bezos Earth Fund invested $100 million to supercharge WWF's efforts to implement and measure the impact of interventions across three areas: restoring mangroves, our carbon-storing, coastline protectors; developing seaweed as an alternative for animal feed, proteins, and packaging materials; and protecting habitat in partnership with both Indigenous and local communities and governments to secure the lasting protection of nature. Investing in these three critical areas allows us to further protect and restore ecosystems that store carbon, while also building local community resilience to the reality of climate-accelerated weather events. The design and expansion of nature-based solutions is an innovation whose time has come. WWF has also continued working with the private sector to scale up climate solutions and hold companies accountable for meeting climate goals. WWF worked with a coalition of NGOs to launch the AAA Framework for Climate Policy Leadership. The initiative sets a new standard for corporate climate leadership and urges all companies to take a set of concrete steps in support of a net-zero future. WWF also mobilized corporate climate champions to lend momentum to national policy efforts, including a virtual CEOs Dialogue at the President's Leaders Summit on Climate moderated by WWF CEO Carter Roberts and featuring the CEOs of five major US companies discussing the need for ambitious science-based targets and investments in nature-based solutions.
