Explanation	The National Geographic Society continues to qualify as a public charity demonstrated by the fact that it had over 129,000 different donors in 2021 representing a broad base of public support. It continues to have a comprehensive fundraising plan to solicit donations from the public, including other public charities, private foundations, government agencies, and corporations. In 2021, the Society's new Chief of Advancement and CEO helped increase donations by over 80%, raising the Society's support test percentage to over 27%. In addition, the Society's board is representative of a broad base of the public, including a formerly elected public official and experts in the field. No one on the board has family ties to any officer or other trustee. Except during the COVID-19 emergency, the Society's museum is open to the public year-round and its library is open to the public by appointment. The Society's public lecture series in Grosvenor Auditorium offers numerous opportunities for the public to learn from, and interact with, National Geographic explorers and presenters. The Society also hosts educational workshops on campus for teachers throughout the year. The lecture series and educational workshops have also of course been effected by the COVID-19 emergency, but we hope to be back to normal operations soon. The Society also provides educational curriculum materials, lesson plans, and certification, to teachers all over the United States and beyond. In 2021, the Education Resource Library served 4,700 pieces of content in 71.8 million pageviews to more than 40.5 million unique users. The National Geographic Society is one of the most well-known brands worldwide and is associated with scientific discovery and exploration, cultural diversity, education, storytelling, photography, and environmental conservation.

Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds	The National Geographic Society FUNDS GRANTS ACROSS THE FIELDS OF CONSERVATION, EDUCATION, RESEARCH, STORYTELLING AND TECHNOLOGY. GRANT PROPOSALS ARE REVIEWED BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STAFF EXPERTS, AN EXTERNAL PANEL OF GLOBAL SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WHO RECOMENDS GRANTS FOR APPROVAL. When outside expertise is required to meet the impact objectives of a specific program, we often award grants outside of the grants committee process. Any grants awarded outside of the grants committee pipeline are considered "External Project Funding." Such grants are subject to an internal review process that evaluates the expertise of the grantee, the methodology for executing the work, and the overall contribution to programmatic objectives. Once the grantee is selected, the entire project - including grant funding - is submitted for approval by the NGS senior team through the "Spend Approval Process." Grants approved through this process are subject to reporting requirements above and beyond those required of standard grantees. THE GRANT RECIPENTS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A GRANT AGREEMENT AND SUBMIT REPORTING INCLUDING A FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING OF FUNDS SPENT TO ENSURE THAT THE GRANT FUNDS ARE PROPERLY USED AND ACCOUNTED FOR. THE FOLLOWING IS A DETAILED DESCRIPTION: WHEN A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY GRANT APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED, PAYMENT IS ISSUED ONCE THE SOCIETY HAS RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING COMPLETED, SIGNED DOCUMENTS FROM THE GRANTEE: 1) APPROPRIATE TAX FORM. ALL GRANTEES WHO ARE NOT US CITIZENS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN AND SUBMIT THE APPROPRIATE TAX FORM (FORM W-8) FOR WORK CONDUCTED WHOLLY OUTSIDE THE US. 2) GRANT AGREEMENT. ALL GRANTEES MUST COMPLETE AND SIGN A GRANT AGREEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES DUE DATES FOR RESEARCH REPORTS AND FINANCIAL REPORTS (GENERALLY DUE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF COMPLETION OF THE FIELD WORK.) BY SIGNING THE GRANT AGREEMENT, THE GRANTEE AGREES TO SUBMIT A FINAL NARRATIVE REPORT AND A FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING OF THE GRANT MONIES SPENT BEFORE THE INDICATED SUBMISSION DEADLINE. GRANTEES ALSO CERTIFY TO PARAGRAPHS 16 & 17 (COPIED BELOW) THAT THEY WILL NOT PROMOTE TERRORISM AND WILL COMPLY WITH FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS: 17. CERTIFICATION. BY COUNTERSIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU CERTIFY THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION DOES NOT AND WILL NOT PROMOTE OR ENGAGE IN VIOLENCE OR TERRORISM, NOR WILL YOUR ORGANIZATION MAKE SUB-GRANTS OR OTHER PAYMENTS TO ANY ENTITY THAT ENGAGES IN SUCH ACTIVITIES. 17 U.S. FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS. BY COUNTERSIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I OR GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM AWARE OF, AND AGREE TO COMPLY FULLY WITH, U.S. FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS THAT GOVERN TRAVEL TO, AND TRANSACTIONS WITH, COUNTRIES SUCH AS CUBA, IRAN, SUDAN, SYRIA, NORTH KOREA, CRIMEA TERRITORY, AND OTHER U.S.-SANCTIONED COUNTRIES, INCLUDING ANY SUCH CONTROLS THAT MAY BE IMPOSED IN THE FUTURE DURING THE PERIOD OF THE GRANT. SPECIFICALLY, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM AWARE OF AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY GOVERNING TRAVEL TO AND TRADE WITH COUNTRIES SUBJECT TO U.S. ECONOMIC SANCTIONS (31 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PARTS 500-598) AND ALSO WITH THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION REGULATIONS OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (15 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PARTS 730-774). I ALSO AGREE THAT, BEFORE ANY FUNDS ARE DISBURSED UNDER THIS GRANT, I WILL PROVIDE THE SOCIETY WITH COPIES OF ANY AUTHORIZATIONS FROM THE U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL ("OFAC") NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE GRANT, OR COPIES OF CORRESPONDENCE FROM OFAC CONFIRMING THAT NO SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATIONS ARE NECESSARY. I ALSO REPRESENT AND WARRANT TO THE SOCIETY THAT IN SEEKING AUTHORIZATIONS FROM OFAC AND/OR CONFIRMATION THAT NO SUCH AUTHORIZATIONS ARE NECESSARY, I FULLY DISCLOSED THE NATURE OF THE GRANT AND ITS PARTICIPANTS AND IDENTIFIED THE SOCIETY AS A SOURCE OF FUNDING. I ALSO AGREE THAT I WILL KEEP ALL NECESSARY RECORDS TO SHOW THAT I HAVE COMPLIED WITH U.S. FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS. FINALLY, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE SOCIETY TO CONSULT WITH MY OWN LEGAL COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH MY OBLIGATIONS UNDER U.S. FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS.GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A CERTIFICATION RELATED TO ETHICAL ISSUES AND THAT THE GRANTEE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE ANTI-CORRUPTION LAWS;THEY ALSO CERTIFY THAT THEY HAVE THE PROPER PERMITS TO UNDERTAKE THE PROPOSED FIELD RESEARCH IN THE COUNTRY IN WHICH IT WILL BE CONDUCTED AND THAT NO IMPROPER PAYMENTS OF ANY VALUE HAVE BEEN MADE DURING THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING SUCH PERMITS. ADDITIONALLY, GRANTEES AFFILIATED WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS ARE SCREENED IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND AVOID POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST INVOLVING THE GRANTEE'S OFFICIAL JOB DUTIES AND THE SOCIETY. THE SOCIETY'S FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SYSTEM ALSO REVIEWS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH FINANCIAL SANCTIONS LIST (THE SDN LIST) COMPLIED AND MAINTAINED BY THE U.S. TREASURY UPON NEW VENDOR SET-UP AND PRIOR TO EACH PAYMENT. ONCE PAYMENT IS ISSUED, IF GRANTEES WOULD LIKE TO ALTER THEIR PROPOSED BUDGET IN ANY WAY THEY MUST SUBMIT THEIR REQUEST TO THE PROGRAM OFFICER. THE REQUEST IS APPROVED OR DENIED AND A RECORD OF THE CHANGE IS ADDED TO THE GRANT FILE. THE GRANTEE MUST SUBMIT THEIR FINAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING BEFORE THE DEADLINE INDICATED IN THEIR GRANT AGREEMENT UNLESS AN EXTENSION HAS BEEN REQUESTED IN WRITING AND APPROVED BY THE PROGRAM OFFICER. THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PROVIDES A BREAKDOWN OF THE ACTUAL COSTS OF THE PROJECT AND IS EXPECTED TO PARALLEL THE COSTS PROJECTED IN THE ORIGINAL GRANT APPLICATION BUDGET; ALL DISCREPANCIES MUST BE EXPLAINED. IF THERE ARE UN-EXPENDED GRANT MONIES THEY MUST BE RETURNED TO THE SOCIETY. THE REPORTS COORDINATOR REVIEWS THE FINAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING FOR COMPLETENESS AND THEN CIRCULATES BOTH REPORTS TO THE PROGRAM OFFICERS FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL. ONCE THE REPORTS ARE APPROVED, THE GRANT IS CLOSED. AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE GRANT FILE IS RETAINED, in accordance with the Society's document retention policy, BY THE GRANT OPERATIONS STAFF, WHICH IS THE OFFICIAL REPOSITORY FOR ALL GRANTS RELATED DOCUMENTATION.

Explanation	The National Geographic Society FUNDS GRANTS ACROSS THE FIELDS OF CONSERVATION, EDUCATION, RESEARCH, STORYTELLING AND TECHNOLOGY. GRANT PROPOSALS ARE REVIEWED BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STAFF EXPERTS, AN EXTERNAL PANEL OF GLOBAL SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WHO RECOMENDS GRANTS FOR APPROVAL. When outside expertise is required to meet the impact objectives of a specific program, we often award grants outside of the grants committee process. Any grants awarded outside of the grants committee pipeline are considered "External Project Funding." Such grants are subject to an internal review process that evaluates the expertise of the grantee, the methodology for executing the work, and the overall contribution to programmatic objectives. Once the grantee is selected, the entire project - including grant funding - is submitted for approval by the NGS senior team through the "Spend Approval Process." Grants approved through this process are subject to reporting requirements above and beyond those required of standard grantees. THE GRANT RECIPENTS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A GRANT AGREEMENT AND SUBMIT REPORTING INCLUDING A FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING OF FUNDS SPENT TO ENSURE THAT THE GRANT FUNDS ARE PROPERLY USED AND ACCOUNTED FOR. THE FOLLOWING IS A DETAILED DESCRIPTION: WHEN A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY GRANT APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED, PAYMENT IS ISSUED ONCE THE SOCIETY HAS RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING COMPLETED, SIGNED DOCUMENTS FROM THE GRANTEE: 1) APPROPRIATE TAX FORM. ALL GRANTEES WHO ARE NOT US CITIZENS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN AND SUBMIT THE APPROPRIATE TAX FORM (FORM W-8) FOR WORK CONDUCTED WHOLLY OUTSIDE THE US. 2) GRANT AGREEMENT. ALL GRANTEES MUST COMPLETE AND SIGN A GRANT AGREEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES DUE DATES FOR RESEARCH REPORTS AND FINANCIAL REPORTS (GENERALLY DUE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF COMPLETION OF THE FIELD WORK.) BY SIGNING THE GRANT AGREEMENT, THE GRANTEE AGREES TO SUBMIT A FINAL NARRATIVE REPORT AND A FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING OF THE GRANT MONIES SPENT BEFORE THE INDICATED SUBMISSION DEADLINE. GRANTEES ALSO CERTIFY TO PARAGRAPHS 16 & 17 (COPIED BELOW) THAT THEY WILL NOT PROMOTE TERRORISM AND WILL COMPLY WITH FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS: 17. CERTIFICATION. BY COUNTERSIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU CERTIFY THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION DOES NOT AND WILL NOT PROMOTE OR ENGAGE IN VIOLENCE OR TERRORISM, NOR WILL YOUR ORGANIZATION MAKE SUB-GRANTS OR OTHER PAYMENTS TO ANY ENTITY THAT ENGAGES IN SUCH ACTIVITIES. 17 U.S. FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS. BY COUNTERSIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I OR GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM AWARE OF, AND AGREE TO COMPLY FULLY WITH, U.S. FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS THAT GOVERN TRAVEL TO, AND TRANSACTIONS WITH, COUNTRIES SUCH AS CUBA, IRAN, SUDAN, SYRIA, NORTH KOREA, CRIMEA TERRITORY, AND OTHER U.S.-SANCTIONED COUNTRIES, INCLUDING ANY SUCH CONTROLS THAT MAY BE IMPOSED IN THE FUTURE DURING THE PERIOD OF THE GRANT. SPECIFICALLY, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM AWARE OF AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY GOVERNING TRAVEL TO AND TRADE WITH COUNTRIES SUBJECT TO U.S. ECONOMIC SANCTIONS (31 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PARTS 500-598) AND ALSO WITH THE EXPORT ADMINISTRATION REGULATIONS OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (15 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PARTS 730-774). I ALSO AGREE THAT, BEFORE ANY FUNDS ARE DISBURSED UNDER THIS GRANT, I WILL PROVIDE THE SOCIETY WITH COPIES OF ANY AUTHORIZATIONS FROM THE U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL ("OFAC") NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE GRANT, OR COPIES OF CORRESPONDENCE FROM OFAC CONFIRMING THAT NO SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATIONS ARE NECESSARY. I ALSO REPRESENT AND WARRANT TO THE SOCIETY THAT IN SEEKING AUTHORIZATIONS FROM OFAC AND/OR CONFIRMATION THAT NO SUCH AUTHORIZATIONS ARE NECESSARY, I FULLY DISCLOSED THE NATURE OF THE GRANT AND ITS PARTICIPANTS AND IDENTIFIED THE SOCIETY AS A SOURCE OF FUNDING. I ALSO AGREE THAT I WILL KEEP ALL NECESSARY RECORDS TO SHOW THAT I HAVE COMPLIED WITH U.S. FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS. FINALLY, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE SOCIETY TO CONSULT WITH MY OWN LEGAL COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH MY OBLIGATIONS UNDER U.S. FOREIGN TRADE CONTROLS.GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A CERTIFICATION RELATED TO ETHICAL ISSUES AND THAT THE GRANTEE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE ANTI-CORRUPTION LAWS;THEY ALSO CERTIFY THAT THEY HAVE THE PROPER PERMITS TO UNDERTAKE THE PROPOSED FIELD RESEARCH IN THE COUNTRY IN WHICH IT WILL BE CONDUCTED AND THAT NO IMPROPER PAYMENTS OF ANY VALUE HAVE BEEN MADE DURING THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING SUCH PERMITS. ADDITIONALLY, GRANTEES AFFILIATED WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS ARE SCREENED IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND AVOID POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST INVOLVING THE GRANTEE'S OFFICIAL JOB DUTIES AND THE SOCIETY. THE SOCIETY'S FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SYSTEM ALSO REVIEWS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH FINANCIAL SANCTIONS LIST (THE SDN LIST) COMPLIED AND MAINTAINED BY THE U.S. TREASURY UPON NEW VENDOR SET-UP AND PRIOR TO EACH PAYMENT. ONCE PAYMENT IS ISSUED, IF GRANTEES WOULD LIKE TO ALTER THEIR PROPOSED BUDGET IN ANY WAY THEY MUST SUBMIT THEIR REQUEST TO THE PROGRAM OFFICER. THE REQUEST IS APPROVED OR DENIED AND A RECORD OF THE CHANGE IS ADDED TO THE GRANT FILE. THE GRANTEE MUST SUBMIT THEIR FINAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING BEFORE THE DEADLINE INDICATED IN THEIR GRANT AGREEMENT UNLESS AN EXTENSION HAS BEEN REQUESTED IN WRITING AND APPROVED BY THE PROGRAM OFFICER. THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PROVIDES A BREAKDOWN OF THE ACTUAL COSTS OF THE PROJECT AND IS EXPECTED TO PARALLEL THE COSTS PROJECTED IN THE ORIGINAL GRANT APPLICATION BUDGET; ALL DISCREPANCIES MUST BE EXPLAINED. IF THERE ARE UN-EXPENDED GRANT MONIES THEY MUST BE RETURNED TO THE SOCIETY. THE REPORTS COORIDINATOR REVIEWS THE FINAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING FOR COMPLETNESS AND THEN CIRCULATES BOTH REPORTS TO THE PROGRAM OFFICERS FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL. ONCE THE REPORTS ARE APPROVED, THE GRANT IS CLOSED. AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF THE GRANT FILE IS RETAINED, in accordance with the Society's document retention policy, BY THE GRANT OPERATIONS STAFF, WHICH IS THE OFFICIAL REPOSITORY FOR ALL GRANTS RELATED DOCUMENTATION.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Science and Innovation Programs cont.	Approximately nine million tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year, threatening our ecosystems, wildlife and human health. By mobilizing global communities and investing in science, exploration, innovation and education, the National Geographic Society is working to tackle the world's plastic waste crisis. In 2021, the Society focused efforts on citizen science approaches to tackling the plastic pollution crisis. In partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and several other organizations, we set out to generate a first-ever snapshot of the state of plastic pollution along the Mississippi River during a pilot study called the Mississippi River Plastic Pollution Initiative. The data was generated through a citizen science approach, enlisting the participation of hundreds of community volunteers covering as large an area as possible along the river. Debris Tracker, an open data citizen science movement and free mobile phone app, was used to collect the data. The Debris Tracker Citizen Science to Local Action Guide was rolled out 2021 as part of this effort and is designed to inspire community-based efforts to be part of the solution for the problem of plastic waste. Additionally, the National Geographic Education team is developing a new online course designed to train educators on how to effectively integrate citizen science into their curriculums. One of the course's five modules will specifically demonstrate how to use Debris Tracker as a tool to engage young learners with hands-on data collection and reflect upon the potential solutions to plastic waste in our waterways. The National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project (NGOWP) is working to protect the Okavango river basin by exploring and surveying its source waters in Angola. The team has conducted a series of river- and land-based expeditions focusing on the least known, most inaccessible parts of the Okavango Basin's river catchments in southeastern and central Angola - a study area of approximately 150,000 square kilometers (57,915 square miles). This area, when linked to protected areas in Namibia and Botswana, would become one of the largest transboundary protected areas on the African continent. Since 2015, the NGOWP team has been surveying the river systems, collecting data and scientific insights to help determine strategies for protecting these essential waterways. In addition to building a case for conservation through expedition science, the team is focused on facilitating long-term, sustainable management of protected areas in Angola by establishing partnerships among governments, NGOs, and local communities. Pristine Seas is an exploration, research, and media project founded and led by National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala. Its mission is to collaborate with local communities and governments to establish marine protected areas, and spearhead a worldwide network of partners to reach the critical threshold of 30% ocean protection by 2030 (30x30). This includes not only preserving areas that are pristine or near pristine, but also helping to bring closer to pristine (i.e., to restore) areas that may have suffered some human impacts but still harbor unique features such as large animals, healthy bottom communities, and outstanding biodiversity. The project envisions a future ocean where representative examples of undisturbed ecosystems are protected from direct human activities, with the hope that these places will be healthier, more productive, and more resilient to the impacts of ocean warming and acidification. These protected areas will be the best baselines to understand the true magnitude of human impacts on ocean life, to evaluate the efficacy of management and conservation actions, and to help us determine what future ocean we want for our children and grandchildren. Over the last twelve years, Pristine Seas has carried out expeditions in 34 places, 26 of which have since been protected, covering a total area of 6.5 million square kilometers - more than twice the size of India. The National Geographic Photo Ark is a multiyear effort to raise awareness of and find solutions to some of the most pressing issues affecting wildlife and their habitats. The Photo Ark's three-pronged approach harnesses the power of National Geographic photography and the bold ideas of our explorers. Led by National Geographic explorer Joel Sartore, the project aims to document every species living in the world's zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts. In 2021, Sartore passed the 12,000 species mark with the addition of the Arabian Cobra to the Photo Ark. Because of the lingering pandemic and the restrictions on international travel the first 10 months of the year, shooting was restricted to the United States, yet still photographing at over 100 different locations. The locations included zoos, aquariums, rehab centers, plus tagging along on small mammal and bird banding efforts with biologists, and conducting many insect shoots in the wild. We were also able to bring into the Photo Ark many aquatic animals, including native freshwater fish, mussels and crayfish that are under severe environmental stress which will get worse in the coming years. By August, the team was able to travel for two weeks of coverage in Peru and then in September to the United Arab Emirates for nearly three weeks. By the end of the year, Sartore had submitted a total of 3,177 images representing 1,059 new species to the Photo Ark. The Path of the Panther project, in collaboration with the National Geographic Society and multiple partners, is using the story of the endangered Florida panther to help build a public and political movement for saving the Florida Wildlife Corridor - a connected statewide network of public preserves and private farms, ranches, and forests that the panther and other wide-ranging wildlife need to survive. The photography and video assets our team has captured over the past six years, combined with stakeholder engagement and a focused impact strategy, has provided a foundation for a wide-reaching campaign around the panther's story. This impact campaign included the film, Saving the Florida Wildlife Corridor, produced with the National Geographic Society Impact Media team, a feature story about the Florida panther and Florida Wildlife Corridor in National Geographic Magazine, and National Geographic branded brochures and maps. These strategic communications were combined with conservation policy development and stakeholder alignment by our team, leading to the 2021 passage of Florida Wildlife Corridor Act and associated $400 million investment in land conservation. The Illegal Wildlife Trade program leverages National Geographic's power of storytelling to raise awareness, inspire action, and provide critical tools to reduce the trade in illegal wildlife. The primary storytelling platform is Wildlife Watch, which is dedicated to shining light on commercial-scale exploitation of wildlife and other valued resources, identifying weaknesses in national and international efforts to protect wildlife, and empowering institutions and individuals working for a better world. Stories cover a range of human activity, from crime to heroism. In 2021, National Geographic Magazine published an Wildlife Watch investigation into cheetah trafficking in the Horn of Africa in the September issue.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Storytelling & Outreach cont.	Storytelling Grants use the power of storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world in support of the Society's mission. Grant projects last approximately one year and produce a wide range of media outputs: photography, written journalism, audio production, data visualization, cartography, short films, AR / VR, and combinations of these specialties. The National Geographic Society is committed to awarding grants to a diverse community of change-makers from around the world to achieve a more equitable and inclusive world and strengthen our storytelling through incorporation of the full range of diverse viewpoints and voices, contexts, and cultural considerations that shape stories. This highly competitive grants program supports two categories of individual storytellers and journalists. Level I Grants: with budgets capped at $20,000, Level II Grants: typical budgets fall in the $60,000 to $80,000 range. When explorers (grantees) turn their media over to National Geographic at the conclusion of their projects, the Society incorporates that material into our signature experiences, stories, and content. Due to COVID, regular grants were paused in 2021, with applications re-opening in October. However, as COVID-19 spread and impacted communities around the globe in 2020, the National Geographic Society launched an COVID-19 Emergency Fund for journalists all over the world to support their coverage of COVID-19 within their own communities. This fund placed particular emphasis on delivering news to underserved populations, particularly where there is a dearth of evidence-based information getting to those who need it, and highlighting underreported stories of inequality that emerged throughout the pandemic. In total, National Geographic Society funded 324 projects. The National Geographic Society operates a robust portfolio of Storytelling Programs that aim to diversify, strengthen, and amplify the voices that comprise National Geographic's journalism. National Geographic Photo Camp teaches photography to diverse youth populations around the world, including young people from migrant, refugee, at-risk, and economically developing communities, to inspire and empower the next generation of storytellers with a foundation for impactful photojournalism, and a meaningful introduction to the world of photography. National Geographic's Second Assistant program provides training, mentorship, connections, and pathways for female-identifying and BIPOC early-career photographers in the historically underrepresented field of technical photography by matching early-career photographers with a more experienced National Geographic photographer for hands-on mentorship experiences. National Geographic Field Ready is a mentorship and training program to help early career filmmakers advance in their careers, and to increase diversity and inclusion behind the lens of natural history and wildlife filmmaking by providing diverse, early-career filmmakers with interactive master classes and one-on-one mentorship from leading industry professionals. Each year, National Geographic Society supports Storytelling Festivals in underrepresented regions or covering underrepresented mediums around the world to enable conversations between practitioners and bolster key spaces for recruitment of new grantees who are diverse in background, age, race and gender identity, and practices/mediums. The Out of Eden Walk is a years-long journalistic expedition through which National Geographic explorer Paul Salopek is walking the globe, retracing the pathways of human origins from Africa to South America. This 21,000 mile odyssey is an exercise in slow journalism, allowing Paul to report the major stories of our time holistically by slowing down to walking speed to share the full context and voices of local people behind the headlines of the stories of our time. The Out of Eden Walk is a global storytelling initiative for education and cross-cultural engagement that promotes journalistic education and people-to-people connectivity via the ethos of "slow journalism." In 2021, National Geographic Society began funding the African Wildlife Filmmaking Program, designed to build capacity of local African Wildlife photographers and Filmmakers and the World Water Map, a global accounting of freshwater resources and deficits. National Geographic Storytelling Azimuth-Explorers embark on year-long projects to explore timely issues, pushing the boundaries of storytelling to report the stories that the world needs to hear. Nominated and selected for their dedication and commitment to shining a light on our shared human experience as well as demonstrating the power of science and exploration to change the world, these Explorers represent the fields of photography, journalism, technology, film, and art. Each of the Explorers receive monetary and institutional support from the Society to research, produce, and amplify their unique projects. The Impact Media team produces media that further the goals of the National Geographic Society and its programs. Media is created to achieve measurable results amongst targeted audiences and are distributed during live events, on NGS digital and social platforms, and in classrooms. Additionally, videos were screened at global events such as UN World Wildlife Day and film festivals. Since 2020, over 300 videos have been produced, contributing to the marketing, fundraising, conservation, and educational initiatives of the Society. During the summer of 2021 the Technology division began working on a new enterprise architecture and data platform in direct support of enabling our NG Next strategy. There were several notable releases by the division: * a new Wordpress-based CMS and customized "widgets" in support of the top-level nationalgeographic.org redesign (mentioned below). * the full "2.0" releases of Field Notes (for Explorers working in the field), Explorer Classroom & MapMaker (both for formal educators and their students). * v.1.0 of Explorer Home, the first product built for Explorers in support of our Authenticated Constituent Experiences (ACEs) strategy. * in support of Perpetual Planet, a low-bandwidth version of our Everest weather data for climbers who are on the mountain. * updates to our Cookie Banner and Consent flows in support of NGS policies and user privacy. * we also initiated a long-term and large-scale migration of the Educator Platform/Classroom Resources to a new system with a vastly improved content publishing interface & process. we completed around 75% of this work and expect to launch in April of 2022. In 2021, the Website team redesigned nationalgeographic.org to align with NGNext, the Society's new 5-year strategic plan. The National Geographic Society's Communications Division shapes and advances the organization's reputation worldwide, executes a comprehensive communications strategy that forwards our strategic plan, and promotes our bold vision, key priorities, and explorer-led programs.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c Education Programs, cont.	National Geographic's Education division offers community and leadership programs for educators and youth, including Professional Learning and certification opportunities through our suite of online courses, extern and internship programs for youth, and opportunities for both audiences to apply for grants and grow in leadership roles. We provide classroom materials through the free educational website natgeoed.org, and through the Society's education partner, Cengage Learning. The Resource Library features free resources for educators aligned to the content and pedagogy standards they must meet, but do this through the lens of NGS explorers, scientists, storytellers, conservationists, and technologists. We feature people and places from around the world, with an emphasis on human involvement in a changing planet. Major topics include geography, social studies, earth, life, physical science, technology, and culture. In 2021, we developed 185 new individual resources to cover many of the topics middle students (grades 6, 7, and 8) encounter, and offer an inside look at the most interesting people and places from all over the globe. These resources include long and short-form nonfiction articles, videos, photographs, maps, StoryMaps, infographics, and assessments, and are offered up in themed collections. This year we also added four 2-week PBL teaching units aimed at targeting common curricula taught across the US, but infusing it with NGS explorers, data, adventures, and media to engage students at a deeper level. In 2021, the Resource Library served 4,700 pieces of content in 71.8 million pageviews to more than 40.5 million unique users. This year National Geographic's Education and Technology teams collaborated to redesign MapMaker from the ground up. The reimagined MapMaker is a new classroom mapping tool designed to effectively convey contextual data, teach geographic concepts and essential 21st-century skills, and keep students engaged, resulting in better learning outcomes. MapMaker replaced its outdated predecessor with updated content and a better user experience. This new tool addresses educator's needs by being easy to use, fitting seamlessly with core student assignment workflows, and allowing users to complete core mapping tasks with little or no individual help. MapMaker is powered by content (curated map layers [GIS dataset] and maps [representation of land or sea showing places, features, and/or data) and curricular resources built around the National Geography Standards and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and housed in the Resource Library. MapMaker sees more than 730,000 users making and sharing maps through its platform. National Geographic Giant Maps offers 52 classroom-sized maps for all 50 United States, Washington, DC, and the Solar System (ranging from 21' x 14' to 21' x 17') and 7 gym-sized maps (average size 25' x 30' of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, the Pacific, and the Solar System) for sale to the education market. The vinyl floor maps were designed using the expertise of National Geographic's cartographic division and research on elementary spatial thinking. Maps of the continents and Pacific Ocean are designed for K-8 students, and the Solar System Map is intended for K-12 students. State Giant Maps are designed for third-and-fourth-grade state studies. Each map includes free, downloadable activities that can be used with the map. In 2021, the fourth full year of operations and sales, 151 maps were sold to 53 schools and school districts reaching approximately 15,100 students. In addition, the new map classroom-sized Solar System map was added to collection. Due to COVID-19 and resulting school closures, National Geographic ended the production of the print version of the Explorer magazine program (unable to mail it to schools). We made the digital version of the magazine available as a free product to educators and families through the end of the school year and into the summer. Going forward, we will no longer be producing an Explorer Magazine product (either print or digital) but will use the archive of articles as the basis for K-5 non-ficition articles in our existing free Resource Library for educators found on the Nat Geo education web site. Explorer Classroom runs live interactive events that connect young people with National Geographic Explorers. Students hear behind-the-scenes stories and interact with cutting-edge scientists, researchers, and storytellers from around the globe in real-time. All events are free, open to the public, and include an event guide to help educators and learners get the most out of their experience. Events recommended for ages 4-8 are held on Mondays at 11am Eastern. Events recommended for ages 9-14 are held on Thursdays at both 10am & 2pm Eastern. Past Explorer Classroom events are archived on YouTube for on-demand viewing. In 2021 Explorer Classroom ran 100 events reaching over 135,000 students. The Educator/Explorer Exchange is a year long one-to-one co-mentorship experience between an Explorer and a Nat Geo Certified Educator and their classroom. Prompts and milestones that help pace the Exchange are hosted on our Professional Learning platform (NovoEd), but pairs are encouraged to connect directly - asynchronously or synchronously - on a platform that works for them. The goal of the program is to collaborate around a student project related to the Explorer's work. The 2020-2021 cohort consisted of 15 pairs (15 educators and 15 early career leaders) for a total of 30 participants. The 2021-2022 cohort included 36 pairs (72 total participants) representing 26 total countries & 16 US States. National Geographic education offers 16 professional learning courses for educators and young people ages 15-25. Educator courses focus on deepening content knowledge and sharpening instructional strategies to implement with learners. Youth courses build knowledge and empathy for the earth, and build capacity for leadership and collective action. In 2021, more than 23,000 educators participated in the course offerings, reaching an estimated 559,000 students. In addition, 7,000 youth enrolled in online learning experiences. The Grosvenor Teacher Fellow program is a professional development opportunity made possible by a partnership between Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Education. The program is named in honor of Gilbert M. Grosvenor, chairman emeritus of the National Geographic Society and Education Foundation Board member. Exemplary educators are recognized for their commitment to geographic education and are given the opportunity to travel aboard the Lindblad-National Geographic fleet. Through this experience, they bring new geographic awareness into their learning environments and communities. In 2021 GTFs were unable to travel due to COVID restrictions, but they will have the opportunity to do so in the coming year. The National Geographic Society global educator community connects preK-12+ formal and informal educators across a variety of channels. Engagement is designed to empower educators to take part in a learning journey that includes professional development opportunities, online courses, and exchanges with National Geographic Explorers. Educators motivate and mentor each other, sharing best teaching practices, resources, opportunities to collaborate, and feedback. GeoChallenge--In 2021 National Geographic partnered to offer three distinct challenges to young people around the world: 1. Comprometidos por los Oceanos 2021 was a joint initiative of Ashoka, Socialab Uruguay, UNESCO, and the National Geographic Society. Comprometidos supports and elevates innovative proposals from youth from across Latin America as they solve social, economic and environmental problems in their community, within the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. 552 participants in teams submitted 261 ocean-related solutions from 15 Latin American and Caribbean countries as part of the 2021 Comprometidos Ocean Challenge. 2. The 2021 ArcGIS StoryMaps Challenge for Restoring Our Ocean was a joint initiative by Esri and the National Geographic Society. Through the challenge, high school and college students and individuals 18-24 were encouraged to create impactful stories about ocean health-from current threats and impacts to existing and potential solutions for restoration. 127 youth from 20 countries submitted 76 StoryMaps as part of the 2021 ArcGIS StoryMaps Challenge for Restoring Our Ocean as part of our partnership with ESRI. The challenge was supported by a Young Explorer who served as a judge. 3. GirlsBuild, presented by LA Promise Fund and the National Geographic Society, challenged girls all over the United States to participate in GirlsBuild The Planet's Future Starts Here Challenge focused on leading communities to greater sustainability and conservation.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c Education Programs	The Marine & Community Conservation Remote Externship program is a collaboration between the National Geographic Society, The Nature Conservancy, and Paragon One, to host a powerful 8-week learning and career development experience for youth around the world designed to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders. The 2021 pilot reached 100 students ages 18-25 from 30 countries and led participants through a process of translating global marine conservation issues into a local context, making them relevant and accessible to their communities, and offering solutions to a local or regional problem. At the end of the program, students had an opportunity to apply for seed funding to implement their solutions in local communities. The Young Explorers grant program recognizes, elevates, and funds young changemakers and leaders, ages 16-25, who are collaboratively leading solutions for a healthier, safer, and more sustainable planet. Through this opportunity, NGS funds these young innovators to scale and expand their initiative, activity, or project, and support them in engaging others to further their work by deepening their efforts locally or expanding to other communities. In 2021, National Geographic funded 25 young explorers from around the globe to scale or expand their initiatives. As part of the program, NGS piloted new ways to support Young Explorer applicants, lowering the barriers to apply and increasing the diversity of the cohort. NGS supported and participated in numerous youth-facing and youth-led events in 2021. In 2021, nearly 5,000 youth participated in NGS-supported global events, and 1,584 participated in the NGS-supported ISEF Fair. The National Geographic Society licenses the right to publish K-12 textbooks and English Language Teaching products to Cengage Learning under the National Geographic Learning (NGL) trademark. National Geographic works closely with Cengage to ensure these products maintain the highest quality and inspire learners to explore the world. NGL's products center on the unique stories of Society explorers, grantees, and photographers to engage learners. NGL has spotlighted 141 explorers, grantees, and photographers in 196 editorial features in 2021. In 2021, NGL sold 885,928 units (i.e. est. number of students and teachers) domestically with reading, science, social studies, and math core and supplemental materials for the K-12 market. NGL sold 93.4 million units (i.e. est. number of students and teachers) for all ages internationally in 140 countries with English Language Teaching (ELT) products. With National Geographic Society's support and investment, NGL's K-12 division published the AP Human Geography program in August 2020 and sold 27,640 units of the program in 2021. Other K-12 programs that launched in 2021 included Earth & Space Science, Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud Revealed, and Big Ideas Math: Modeling Real Life. Several ELT products were also published in 2021, including Reflect: Listening & Speaking, Reflect: Reading & Writing, and China Showcase Library. In 2020, the National Geographic Society created an $800,000 COVID Emergency Educator Fund to give teachers in classrooms around the world the tools, resources, and support they needed to pioneer new ways of teaching so that students could continue learning during a time of immense disruption. In 2021, we granted the remaining $400,000 of the funds, for a total of 154 grants to educators from more than two dozen countries. Many of those projects are now complete, and we are sharing the great resources that resulted from those grants across our global community of Educators. One example is the work of educator, Karl Horeis, who developed My Naturalist-Explorer Notebook, a hand-illustrated collection of activities that educators, parents, and caregivers can use with young learners to connect them to the outdoors and the world around them. The National Geographic Museum is a popular destination in Washington, DC and an opportunity for the public to experience National Geographic in person through its immersive exhibitions and public programming. The museum is an extension of the Society's commitment to educating students of all ages about the wonders of the world. The museum was not able to reopen in 2021 but produced a series of online offerings including virtual tours of both exhibitions and a series of virtual field trips with National Geographic explorers. The National Geographic Museum produces traveling exhibitions that are hosted by museums and other venues around the world. In 2021, we mounted 54 exhibitions in 15 countries and reached an estimated audience of about 4 million people. Key examples of our success include opening for the Becoming Jane exhibition in Chicago and Los Angeles as well as global exhibitions in China, Europe and South America. The National Geographic Museum store helps visitors take National Geographic home with them by offering captivating books and unique handmade products from around the globe as well as travel accessories that will help guide them on their way. Much of the merchandise relates directly to content in the exhibitions in the museum. Many of the products also contain descriptive histories educating visitors about indigenous peoples or endangered species around the world. The National Geographic Store was closed throughout 2021 with the exception of 2 days in December. The Museum produced a series of virtual learning experiences with NG Explorers in 2021. Five Virtual Field trips were produced in 2021: Black History Month in February, Earth Day in April, Revisiting History with a focus on the anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre in June, a September program dedicated to a new view of the Solar System and Native American Heritage Month in November. These field trips are free and available to educators via Vimeo - they are also archived on our website and on YouTube.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Misc. Program Services, cont.	NGS IMPACT INVESTING The Investment Subcommittee with the approval of the Finance Committee directed the Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) to deploy a portion of the investment fund to impact investments within the guidelines of the total portfolio. The OCIO has the flexibility to invest across asset classes and will be measured against the MSCI All Country World Index (net) over a full market cycle. Impact parameters must demonstrate strong alignment with one or more of the Society's global mission priorities to help protect species-at-risk, better understand human history and culture, and conserve some of our planet's last wild places. Relevant investment strategies may include but are not limited to environmental sustainability, conservation, resource efficiency, cultural diversity, and education. 2020 SUSTAINABILITY Beginning in March 2020, the onset of the COVID pandemic in the United States paused a lot of our traditional sustainability activities and caused us to develop new approaches and programs with our core sustainability goals still guiding us. The National Geographic Society remains committed to operating sustainably and expecting those it works with to continually improve their sustainable operations. The Society's headquarters became the first LEED-EB certified buildings (2003 Silver), and, through ongoing tracking and improvement of energy usage, building maintenance, waste diversion, office supply purchases, and renovation activity, the Society has maintained continuous LEED-EB certification, rising from Silver to Gold in 2009. In 2018, the Society received its sixth LEED-EB certification. Remaining the most certified and longest continuously certified existing buildings in the world. Sustainability goals The Society has a Corporate Responsibility Policy (CRP) that it shares with employees, suppliers, vendors, and partners. Our Sustainability Governance Committee (SGC) includes National Geographic Partners and Disney representatives to evaluate, update, and further corporate responsibility policies and goals across both the Society and Partners. The Society also maintains four core company-wide sustainability goals: * to become a carbon neutral organization * to work toward zero landfill waste * to practice wise resource stewardship * to have an engaged and healthy workforce Becoming a carbon neutral company The Society performs an annual carbon assessment of its Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions for 15 businesses/departments with over 70 data points. The goal is to quantify carbon emissions from Society activities, reduce such emissions as much as possible, and offset emissions that cannot be eliminated. The Society purchases RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) to offset all the electrical usage of its owned buildings and leased space. Offsets are also purchased for non-electrical emissions of Society-owned and leased space and for business travel emissions. Day to day operations are continually evaluated and improved to seek maximum energy efficiency. Our headquarters (and all NGS North American facilities) have been carbon neutral since 2009. Sending zero waste to the landfill The Society seeks to reduce waste produced at its headquarters and to reuse, recycle or compost as much as possible. Employees and tenants share office supplies in communal copy rooms and a large recycling area to reduce the need to purchase new office supplies, packaging material, furniture, and more. Reusable dishware and utensils are provided on every floor's NGS and NGP kitchens for employees, tenants and guests to use instead of disposables. Water bottle refill stations are located at all water fountains. Furniture, equipment, supplies, and Nat Geo products that can't be used at the headquarters are offered for re-use to local nonprofits, schools, museums, and artists. Desk side waste bins have been replaced throughout our complex with centralized multi-stream waste centers that include paper recycling, container recycling, and composting. Recycling and upcycling streams include the composting of all food waste and non-recyclable paper products and the re-use or recycling of more than 20 other materials including paper, metals, glass, plastics, electronics, construction materials, used cooking oil, plastic film (shrink wrap/bubble wrap), and disposable masks and gloves. Practicing the wise use of resources In 2020 the joint Sustainability Governance Committee (SGC) with National Geographic Partners oversaw the evaluation of both organization's Corporate Responsibility Policies ahead of updating both in 2021. Through the CRP, paper suppliers to the Society are asked to provide paper from certified forestry sources and never from old-growth or high-conservation-value designated forests and to never provide paper bleached with elemental chlorine. National Geographic Society activities and services are to be legally and ethically conducted by treating employees, environments, and cultures with respect. Suppliers who provide manufacturing services to the Society are expected to follow Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production principles as defined by the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) - including such measures as re-using waste, process modification, and the awareness and reduction of hazardous materials use. The type of supplies purchased for use at headquarters and the disposal of all items is tracked for LEED-EB, ensuring ongoing improvement in sustainable purchasing and landfill diversion. Our cleaning crews use green-e certified cleaning products and low or non-VOC paints in the Society's headquarters. In addition, many of the building materials used in the Society are made from recycled material. Water Restoration Certificates are purchased to offset water usage in the DC headquarters. Butterfly gardens and beehives on the headquarters grounds and rooftop support endangered species and educational efforts. Meatless Monday discounts are offered in our on-site Cafeteria to all employees, tenants, and guests to promote consumption of delicious, nutritious, yet less resource-intensive foods. In conjunction with the National Geographic Plastic or Planet? Initiative, the Society has made a special effort to remove single-use plastic waste and unnecessary plastic at headquarters. A supply chain audit was completed in 2019 and multiple suppliers and National Geographic teams are working on plastic pollution free ideas and solutions for their businesses. Special event badges and parking tags have been changed from plastic to paper. Reusable dishware and utensils in staff kitchens make disposable plastic utensils or paper dishes and cups (which are generally plastic coated) unnecessary. Coffee makers and bottleless water coolers with CO2 in each kitchen allow staff to fill reusable mugs and bottles. Our current coffee service replaced unrecyclable plastic pods and k-cups with compostable filters and multi-use gravity pots. In the Cafeteria, straws are paper and all to-go food packaging except for one windowed box and some pre-packaged snacks are compostable. Some snacks are sold in returnable glass containers for a deposit. Bottled water is sold in recyclable metal bottles.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Science and Innovation Programs, cont.	The Grants Program provided grants across the Society's focus areas: Ocean, Land, Wildlife, Human History and Culture, and Human Ingenuity. The grants covered conservation, education, research, storytelling, and technology, and funded work all over the world. National Geographic's Perpetual Planet Expeditions program, a multiyear partnership with Rolex as part of their Perpetual Planet initiative, seeks to study and illuminate Earth's critical systems. This partnership supports expeditions to explore the planet's most critical environments, including high alpine environments, rainforests, and the ocean. These groundbreaking expeditions fill knowledge gaps to help scientists, decision-makers, and local communities plan for and find solutions to the impacts of climate and environmental change. These systems, however, are increasingly at risk due to global environmental challenges like climate change. That's why National Geographic and Rolex have partnered to support trailblazing scientific research, expeditions, and solutions to increase our understanding of the threats facing the planet's life support systems and drive action to address them. The partnership supports a series of expeditions to examine the impact of climate and environmental change on the planet's most fragile iconic environments, to document the changes occurring and the implications for people and wildlife. In 2021, to complement the 2019 National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Everest Expedition, the Perpetual Planet Expeditions team successfully executed a supplemental expedition to Tupungato Volcano, a vulnerable South Andes water tower in Chile, to emplace the highest weather station in the Southern + Western Hemispheres. The data collected from this weather station adds to our understanding of extreme weather above 6000m. As an outcome of the expedition, a National Geographic digital story as well as a physical story and map in the September 2021 National Geographic Magazine were produced. The weather station was donated to the General Directorate of Water in Chile to build upon the capacity of the Chilean DGA to monitor and measure the water tower that directly impacts the fresh water supply for 6.7 million people in the Maipo River basin watershed. The National Geographic Society continues to support the Explorers at Large program to develop and enhance its long-standing relationships with some of the world's preeminent scientists and storytellers. These experts are dedicated to making notable advances in their respective fields and are highly regarded within scientific and exploration circles. National Geographic's Explorers at Large groundbreaking discoveries fuel the kind of critical information, conservation initiatives, and compelling stories that are the hallmark of the National Geographic Society. National Geographic Explorers at Large for 2021 are Sylvia Earle, oceanographer; Bob Ballard, ocean explorer; Lee Berger, paleoanthropologist; James Cameron, filmmaker and explorer; Mike Fay, conservationist; Beverly and Dereck Joubert, filmmakers and conservationists; Louise and Meave Leakey, paleontologists; Tom Lovejoy, conservation biologist, and Rodrigo Medellin, ecologist. The Wayfinder (formerly Emerging Explorer) Award is presented annually to a cohort of individuals whose innovative work in science, conservation, exploration, education, technology and/or storytelling identifies them as agents for positive change in their fields. Wayfinder Award recipients have proven themselves as the next generation of influential leaders, communicators and innovators whose critical work contributes to moving the National Geographic Society's mission forward. 2021 winners were: Molly Burhans, Cartographer; Danny Chi-Man Leong, Biologist and Environmental Educator; Ved Chirayath, Physicist & Inventor; Justin Dunnavant, Archaeologist; Allison Fundis, Ocean Explorer & Educator; Prem Gill, Polar Conservationist; Lehua Kamalu, Captain & Navigator; Senthil Kumaran, Wildlife Photographer & Filmmaker; Edem Mahu, Marine Biogeochemist; Keneiloe Molopyane, Archaeologist & Biological Anthropologist; Ruthmery Pillco Huarcay, Botanist & Ecologist; Aviad Scheinin, Marine Conservationist; Valeria Towns, Biologist; Sandra Turner, Global Climate Change and Ocean Literacy Educator; and Michael Twitty, Culinary Historian.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Misc. Program Services cont.	Specific sustainability achievements in 2021: Gave away for re-use several tons of furniture, office supplies, art supplies, and plywood. While the bulk of occupants continue to work from home during COVID, HQ is alternating air handler units and minimizing run times to maintain just certain areas at our set point of 74 degrees (+/- 2 degrees), while maximizing outside air usage to counter COVID transmission. Reviewed and updated LEED Standards governing operational procedures in preparation for next certification (in 2022). Reviewed and updated Energy Guidelines, Event Sustainability Guidelines, and Event Menu Guidelines Nearly 50% of our waste was diverted from landfills into reuse, recycling, or compost. Down from 73% in 2020 and 82% in 2019 due to the pandemic shift in operations and type of waste. In 2021, Bike to Work Day and Earth Day events were virtual and included advice on getting ready to ride a bike from WABA, bike maintenance from Phoenix Bikes and financial support available for greening homes and commutes from our onsite credit union. Expanded upcycling of disposable gloves and masks to be available to all staff. 45 gallons of honey harvested from our rooftop hives. Introduced local, fresh ground coffee provided in reusable containers to replace pre-packaged coffee in disposable packaging. Set up new internal sustainability pages with relevant policy, commuting and benefit info. Arranged discounts for staff on 'ugly food' and plastic free home supplies. Presented on "Leading sustainability through a pandemic" to GreenWave and interviewed on EarthX TV Planet911 Youth Reports with NGS Young Explorer, Katie Stagliano, Founder of Katie's Krops National Geographic Library When not limited by a global pandemic, National Geographic Library's reading room is open to the public by appointment. Library and archives staffers respond to phone calls, letters and emails. In 2021 they handled more than 250 queries from scholars and members of the public. No tours were provided due to pandemic access guidelines. Librarians participated in regional interlibrary loan, lending items from the physical collection to various DC-area libraries. Finally, books and magazines were donated to nonprofit organizations.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Science & Innovation Programs, cont.	The Early Career Leadership Program (previously called the Young Explorer Leadership and Development Program) is a year-long opportunity that targets our early career Explorers, and offers multiple engagement opportunities, including mentorship, media training, leadership development, and monthly webinars, arming them with the skills, experiences, and support necessary to propel them to the next level in their career. This program is available to National Geographic Explorers who have successfully completed an Early Career Grant and are looking for additional training and support as they develop their next big idea. The 2020-2021 class included Agustina Besada, Analyn Cabras, Andrej Gajic, Anselmo Matusse, Astrid Hsu, Callie Veelenturf, Javier Corso, Laurel Chor, Margaret Awuor Owuor, Marissa Cuevas, Mark Kauzlarich, Rahayu Oktaviani, Rosa Vasquez, Violeta Zhelyazkova, and Yvette Ehlers Smith. Formal Explorer Mentorship is embedded into two cohort based programs at National Geographic Society, the Early Career Leadership Program (previously called the Young Explorer Leadership and Development Program) and the Fulbright-NGS Fellowship Program. The Explorers serving as mentors in 2021 were Jenna Jambeck, Meg Lowman, Yannis Papastamatiou, David Guttenfelder, Tierney Thys, Liliana Gutierrez, Federico Pardo, Ami Vitale, Angelo Bernardino, Anita Palmer, Steve Winter, Krithi Karanth, Peg Keiner, Rodrigo Medellin, Beverly Goodman, Poulomi Basu, Sarah Joseph, Hannah Nordhaus, Gabby Salazar, Paul Salopek, Noel Kok, Anand Varma, KM Reyes, and Erika Larsen. National Geographic's Exploration Technology Lab uses technology development to build and deploy systems and hardware to empower our network of National Geographic Explorers through access to innovative technologies and tools. In 2021 the Exploration Technology Lab has focused on bringing together Explorers and other subject matter experts to facilitate new ideas and approaches to technology innovation, sourcing and supplying Explorers with be-spoke and off the shelf technology, tools and training to accelerate their work, and consulting and advising on technology solutions. Examples include collaboration with Explores to record and publish new findings around deep-sea habitat, support Explorers through creation of bespoke technology including animal born camera systems that will help to interpret voices and sounds of sperm whales.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 4 Significant changes to organizational documents	The Board of Trustees of the Society approved changes to the Society's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws in 2021. The adjustments included changes to the previous trustee and member framework, Board and management officer role clarifications, modifications to Board committee structure, and various procedural refinements.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body	The Society's Form 990 was prepared by tax and financial staff at the Society, and was reviewed by senior management, including the CEO, President and Chief Legal Officer. It was also reviewed by the Society's outside tax advisors. A draft of this Form 990 was provided to the full Board of Trustees for comments and questions before it was filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy	The National Geographic Society maintains a Code of Ethics stating the Society's expectation that staff (employees), officers and third party representatives (including independent contractors, consultants, business partners and others who support our mission or receive our funds), will perform their responsibilities in a manner consistent with the highest standards of ethical conduct. The Code of Ethics is published internally, and on the Society's public facing Website https://www.nationalgeographic.org/ethics/. The Code of Ethics is rooted in the Society's commitment to carry out its mission in a manner that earns the respect of everyone we interact with including charitable donors, business associates, third party representatives, Society members, our staff, explorers, fellows, grantees and the general public. In recognition that accomplishing this objective depends on the individual commitment of our staff and business partners to acting with personal integrity, the following core principles apply: (1) we will conduct every aspect of our business in a fair, lawful and ethical manner; (2) we will encourage and expect everyone we work with to do the same; and (3) we will maintain a culture that reinforces these principles. The Code of Ethics includes the Society's Conflict of Interest Policy, which (1) defines potential conflicts of interest and provides several illustrative examples; (2) requires disclosure of any potential conflict to the Society; and (3) prohibits a conflicted staff member from engaging in any activity or decision-making concerning a potential conflict of interest in the absence of disclosure and independent resolution (including recusal and other steps deemed appropriate to resolve the potential conflict) by the Society, as set forth as follows in the terms of the policy itself: Avoid Conflicts of Interest A conflict of interest arises when you, a family member, or a close friend has a business, financial, or personal interest in the other side of a transaction or business dealing with the National Geographic Society. You must always act in the best interest of the Society. This includes being sensitive to situations where it might appear that your responsibility to the Society has been compromised. Here are some ways a conflict of interest might arise: Having a personal, family, or financial interest in any Society transaction Acting as an employee or consultant for, or providing any other assistance to, a competitor Having a financial interest in a competitor, supplier, contractor, grantee, fellow, consultant, or other business partner Hiring or supervising a family member Accepting gifts, discounts, or services beyond policy limits from anyone doing (or seeking) business with the National Geographic Society Most potential conflicts can be resolved in a simple and mutually acceptable way. The key is to disclose the issue promptly-before it becomes an actual conflict that could compromise your responsibility to act exclusively in the National Geographic Society's best interest. If you have a potential conflict of interest, you must report it to your manager-before you engage in any activity related to the situation. Your manager, in consultation with you, Human Resources, and Law &Business Affairs, will determine what measures should be taken to resolve it appropriately. Such measures typically include recusing yourself from any decision relating to the matter. If you are unsure but have questions, get help from your manager, Human Resources or the Society's ethics officer. Gifts and Gratuities Staff members may not receive any gift worth more than $100 from any person or organization doing business with the National Geographic Society. Staff members involved in purchasing decisions must take extra care to avoid any gifts that might affect, or appear to affect, their decision-making responsibilities on behalf of the National Geographic Society. Additionally, the Society's Code of Ethics expressly prohibits bribery and all other forms of corruption; sets standards for conducting diligence and for approval of certain third party business relationships; and mandates reporting of any potential issues to the Society's Ethic's Officer, or other designated Society representative as set forth in the Code of Ethics: Corruption and Bribery - Strictly Prohibited Every country we work in has laws against corruption and bribery. We take compliance with these laws seriously. As a U.S.-based organization, the National Geographic Society focuses particular attention on the anti-bribery standards of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We may not offer, promise, pay, give, or approve any bribe, kickback, or other inducement in the form of cash or anything else of value (such as gifts, travel, entertainment, or charitable contributions) to any person or organization with the intent to exert improper influence over the recipient, induce the recipient to violate their duty of loyalty, secure an improper advantage for the National Geographic Society, or improperly reward the recipient for past conduct. Nor may we allow any third party representative (such as customs clearance brokers, independent contractors, consultants, business partners, or anyone else) to do so on our behalf. Our Anti-Corruption policy sets standards that must be followed in our relationships with explorers, fellows, grantees, third party representatives, field workers ('fixers'), exhibitors, and recipients of charitable donations. Additionally, there are special standards that apply to our interactions with government officials (including travel, accommodations, meals, and entertainment). If you think that an improper payment has been solicited, offered, or made, you must promptly report it to the ethics officer, or another contact listed on the last page of the Code. The Society requires each of its employees including its officers to complete a business conduct certification (referred to as the Society's 'Ethics and Policies Pledge') as a condition of continuing employment annually. Each staff member is required to affirm that: * I have read and I understand my obligations under the National Geographic Society's Code of Ethics. I agree to comply with the Code, the Society's policies, and laws that apply to my responsibilities on behalf of the Society. * I understand that I am obligated to report all potential Code, policy or legal violations I am aware of. I am familiar with the options available to me for asking questions or reporting a potential violation. * I am not aware of any potential violation, or I have reported all potential violations that I am aware of. (A staff member who is aware of an unreported potential violation is prompted to report it prior to completing the certification.)" The Society maintains an Ethics Helpline operated by an independent third party for reporting potential violations or asking questions concerning the Code of Ethics, the Society's policies and/or legal compliance. The Helpline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Helpline accepts email, web-based and automated phone line submissions, and also offers the option of speaking to a customer service representative. The Helpline accepts anonymous reports and allows an individual who makes a report to receive follow up communications even if he/she chooses to remain anonymous. The Society maintains a separate Code of Ethics for its Directors and Trustees, which is based on the same core principles as the Code applicable to the Society's staff and third party partners, and grounded in the same commitment to maintaining the highest standards of ethics and personal integrity. It includes a Conflict of Interest policy applicable to Directors and Trustees specifically, which mandates disclosure of potential direct or indirect material conflicts involving Board-level decisions, as well as recusal from decision-making and voting on a conflict matter. The Society's Board members may contact the General Counsel or Ethics Officer with questions or concerns, and may also avail themselves of the Society's Ethics Helpline. Each Board member submits a Conflict of Interest Certification annually certifying that: there are no conflicts of interest (or disclosing potential conflicts if any may exist); and committing to continuing disclosure should a conflict arise subsequently.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official	The Board of Trustees of the National Geographic Society has delegated authority to the Compensation Committee to oversee the compensation and benefits of certain senior executives of the Society. The Committee, which is composed exclusively of independent members of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for overseeing an executive compensation program for the Society's senior executives. The Committee follows the procedures set forth in the IRS regulations under Section 4958 in making compensation decisions. In particular, the Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to prepare and present comparable market data with respect to the Society's cash compensation and benefits programs, and is also advised by outside counsel. The Committee reviews the performance of senior executives and evaluates their compensation and benefits in light of the comparable market data provided by the independent compensation consultant and other relevant factors. The Committee relies on such market data in awarding cash compensation and reviewing benefit programs for the Society's senior executives, and receives an opinion from the independent compensation consultant as to the reasonableness and comparability of the Society's executive compensation and benefits programs to that provided for similar services by similar organizations under similar circumstances. The Committee documents its decisions regarding executive compensation decisions in its minutes. The Chair of the Committee promptly reports all actions taken by the Committee to the full Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees	The Compensation Committee followed the process described above at meetings held in March & September of 2021 with respect to compensation decisions for the following senior executives positions: CEO, President, CFO, Chief Advancement Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Communications Officer, and Chief Education Officer. The compensation committee also held an ad-hoc meeting in April 2021 to approve a termination of the incentive plan for all staff except for the CEO & President.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public	The Society's corporate charter is available to the public through the District of Columbia Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Corporations Division. The financial statements of the tax-exempt parent, the National Geographic Society, are made available in this Form 990. The Society does not currently make its audited financial statements available to the public because they are issued on a consolidated basis, which include financial details of the activities of Society's taxable subsidiary which are not disclosed for competitive reasons. The Society's Forms 990 and 990T are available upon request, as well as online at Guidestar.org.
