Part X, Line 2: Under ASC 740-10 an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. WWF does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and accordingly it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. WWF has filed for and received income tax exemptions in the jurisdictions where it is required to do so. Additionally, WWF has filed IRS Form 990 and Form 990-T tax returns as required and all other applicable returns in those jurisdictions where it is required. WWF believes that it is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015. For the year ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no interest or penalties recorded or included in the consolidated statements of activities related to uncertain tax positions.

line 1: PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING GRANT FUNDS 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 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 (external) audit. Grantees receiving government funding are subject to additional donor requirements, including project audits or expense verifications. If Grantees are subject to an OMB 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.

The other box is checked for gross-up payments, which were provided on one relocation expense for a new hire and on small performance recognitions during the year. Part I, line 3: Compensation is based on performance and is determined by committee of the Board in consultation with an independent and highly-experienced outside compensation expert. The independent compensation expert advises the Committee on what is reasonable compensation for the demands of the role, based on exhaustive analysis of compensation at organizations of similar size, scope and reach. WWF makes compensation determinations within these guideposts. Part I, line 4b: Supplemental Non-qualified retirement plan: WWF has both 457(b) and 457(f) supplemental nonqualified retirement plans. The 457(b) plan is open to participation by employees at the level of Vice President and above. Amounts contributed by the organization are included in Part II, Column C. The 457(f) plan, which is specifically designed and authorized for nonprofits and governments to retain executive talent, was adopted by WWF in 2013. As with other organizations that have established such deferred compensation plans, the goal is to ensure retention, at critical moments, of key leaders who would be difficult, if not impossible, to replace. Amounts deferred under this plan are subject to vesting periods established by terms of awards. Payments of 457(f) benefits are contingent on completion of future services and are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. Deferral amounts are fixed and not contingent on organizational net earnings or other financial performance metrics. Earnings are allocated to deferrals with reference to the annual return percentage (positive or negative) of WWFs Board Designated Reserves investment portfolio for the prior fiscal year. In calendar year 2018, the account for Marcia Marsh vested and paid out $416,728, which is included in Part II, Column B (iii) and Column F, and reported as taxable income on the employee's W-2. As reflected in Part II, Column F, 95% of the amount paid out in 2018 was previously reported as deferred compensation on prior form 990 tax filings. WWF also has a 403(b) qualified retirement plan for all employees, with a 3% match at one year of employment and a 6% contribution at 2 years of employment, with immediate vesting of all employer match and contribution payments.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 and Part III, Line 1: Form 990, Part I Summary: WHILE WWF'S LEVEL OF PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITIES DID NOT DECLINE, THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SHOW A DECLINE IN BOTH CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND GRANT EXPENSES. THIS IS BECAUSE IN 2019, WWF ADOPTED THE NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) REGARDING HOW REVENUE AND EXPENSES ARE RECOGNIZED. THE PERCEIVED DECLINE IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE ADOPTION OF THE NEW FASB STANDARDS AND ASSOCIATED ACCOUNTING PRACTICES, AND IS NOT A REFLECTION OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN FUNDRAISING, PROGRAMMATIC DECISION-MAKING OR SPENDING. WWF ADOPTED THE NEW STANDARDS EARLY, AND THUS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS MAY NOT SEE THE SAME TYPES OF DECLINES IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.

FORM 990, FY19 Results, Part III IN 2019, WWF MADE VALUABLE STRIDES IN ADDRESSING THE CONSERVATION CHALLENGES OF THE PLANET. AMONG MANY ACHIEVEMENTS, WE NOTE THESE: PERMANENT FINANCING FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PROTECTED AREAS. WWF, THE GOVERNMENT OF PERU, AND PARTNERS CLOSED A $140 MILLION DEAL TO EXPAND AND MANAGE OVER 42 MILLION ACRES OF PROTECTED AREAS IN THE AMAZON. DEFORESTATION, PRIMARILY TO MAKE WAY FOR AGRICULTURE, AND COUPLED WITH THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, THREATEN THE COUNTRY'S NATURAL BOUNTY AS WELL AS ITS GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT. BY PRESERVING KEY ECOSYSTEMS AND RESOURCES, THE NATION CAN BUILD RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND BOOST ITS ECONOMY. THE DEAL WAS WWF'S LATEST PROJECT FINANCE FOR PERMANENCE (PFP) INITIATIVE, AN APPROACH ALREADY SUCCESSFULLY USED TO SECURE FINANCING FOR PROTECTED AREAS IN BRAZIL AND BHUTAN. PFPS LEVERAGE PRIVATE INVESTMENT TO CREATE A TRANSITION FUND FOR NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS, HELPING THEM BUILD THE CAPACITY TO EVENTUALLY TAKE ON FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSERVATION OF THEIR PROTECTED AREAS. WWF IS USING THE SAME APPROACH IN COLOMBIA, WHERE THIS YEAR IT WORKED WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO EXPAND CHIRIBIQUETE NATIONAL PARK INTO THE WORLD'S LARGEST TROPICAL RAINFOREST NATIONAL PARK. DRIVING PUBLIC EDUCATION ON CONSERVATION ISSUES. WWF PARTNERED WITH NETFLIX AND SILVERBACK PRODUCTIONS TO CREATE AND PROMOTE OUR PLANET, AN EMMY-WINNING CONSERVATION DOCUMENTARY THAT BROUGHT AWE-INSPIRING NATURE IMAGERY AND WWF CONSERVATION MESSAGING TO AN ESTIMATED 25 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS IN THE FIRST MONTH ALONE. IN ADDITION, BY RALLYING PUBLIC AWARENESS AND ENGAGING IN ADVOCACY EFFORTS, WWF HELPED CONVINCE 130 GOVERNMENTS TO APPROVE THE FIRST REPORT OF THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL SCIENCE-POLICY PLATFORM ON BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (IPBES), WHICH CALLS FOR RADICAL SOCIETAL CHANGE TO PROTECT EARTH'S ECOSYSTEMS. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE IPBES REPORT FOUND THAT 75 PERCENT OF THE LAND AND ROUGHLY 66 PERCENT OF OCEANS HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY ALTERED BY HUMAN ACTIVITY. THE REPORT ALSO HIGHLIGHTED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE LOSS OF NATURE, A CALL FOR LEADERS IN ALL REGIONS OF THE WORLD AND ALL SECTORS OF SOCIETY TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. MOBILIZING INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE ACTION. WWF AND PARTNERS HELPED TO DEVELOP AND GUIDE THE LAUNCH OF ALLIANCES FOR CLIMATE ACTION (ACAS), THE WORLD'S FIRST INTERCONNECTED MOVEMENT OF MAYORS, GOVERNORS, CEOS, AND OTHER LEADERS DEDICATED TO HELPING NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS MEET-AND HOPEFULLY EXCEED-THEIR COMMITMENTS UNDER THE PARIS AGREEMENT. ACAS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES, MEXICO, JAPAN, ARGENTINA, VIETNAM, AND SOUTH AFRICA, AND INCLUDE MORE THAN 4,000 SIGNATORIES THUS FAR. A LARGE GAP REMAINS BETWEEN WHAT NATIONS ARE DOING TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE AND WHAT IS NEEDED TO KEEP PLANETARY WARMING BELOW THE CRUCIAL THRESHOLD OF 1.5C, CREATING AN URGENT NEED FOR NONSTATE ACTORS TO TAKE UP THE MANTLE OF CLIMATE LEADERSHIP. DOUBLING THE WILD TIGER POPULATION. INDIA, HOME TO 60 PERCENT OF THE GLOBAL TIGER POPULATION, ANNOUNCED NEW TIGER ESTIMATES, DEMONSTRATING MARKED PROGRESS TOWARD RESTORING THEIR WILD TIGER POPULATION. THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT COMES ON THE HEELS OF NEWS THAT NEPAL HAS NEARLY DOUBLED ITS WILD TIGER POPULATION SINCE 2009. THESE EFFORTS ARE PART OF A BROADER CAMPAIGN THAT BEGAN IN 2010, WHEN WWF JOINED LEADERS FROM TIGER RANGE COUNTRIES IN A COMMITMENT TO DOUBLE THE GLOBAL NUMBER OF WILD TIGERS BY 2022. SINCE THAT TIME, TIGER POPULATIONS HAVE GROWN OR BECOME MORE SECURE IN SEVERAL OTHER "TIGER RANGE COUNTRIES," INCLUDING RUSSIA AND BHUTAN. TOGETHER WITH GOVERNMENTS, COMMUNITIES, AND BUSINESSES, WWF IS HELPING TO END POACHING, CURB UNSUSTAINABLE COMMODITY PRODUCTION, IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, RESTORE DEGRADED TIGER HABITAT, AND MORE. REDUCING DEMAND FOR IVORY. FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR, WWF CONDUCTED THE LARGEST CONSUMER SURVEY ABOUT THE IVORY TRADE IN CHINA (2,000 PEOPLE IN 15 CITIES). THE SURVEY FOUND THAT DEMAND FOR IVORY HAS STABILIZED SINCE DROPPING PRECIPITOUSLY AFTER THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT IMPLEMENTED A BAN IN 2017. HOWEVER, THE SURVEY ALSO FOUND THAT INTENT TO BUY REMAINS HIGH AMONG CHINESE CITIZENS WHO TRAVEL TO OTHER NATIONS WHERE DOMESTIC TRADE IS STILL LEGAL. IN RESPONSE, WWF IS ENGAGING OPINION LEADERS, THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY AND OTHER NGOS IN A "TRAVEL IVORY FREE" CAMPAIGN TO PERSUADE TRAVELERS NOT TO PURCHASE GIFTS OR SOUVENIRS MADE FROM ELEPHANT IVORY. WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AFRICAN ELEPHANTS KILLED EVERY YEAR TO SUSTAIN IVORY MARKETS AROUND THE WORLD, WWF IS COMMITTED TO HELPING GOVERNMENTS ENACT AND ENFORCE STRONG BANS, WHILE ALSO EDUCATING CONSUMERS ABOUT THE EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THESE MAJESTIC CREATURES. PREVENTING ILLEGAL FISHING. ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED, AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING TAKES UP TO 26 MILLION TONS OF FISH OUT OF THE OCEAN EVERY YEAR - DESTABILIZING ECOSYSTEMS AND UNDERCUTTING LEGIMATE FISHERS. IN GHANA, WWF LED AN ELECTRONIC MONITORING PILOT PROGRAM TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY IN THE NATION'S FISHING INDUSTRY. THE NATION'S TOP FISHERIES EXPORT IS TUNA (ONE IN TEN GHANAIANS EARNS A LIVING FROM THE FISHING INDUSTRY) AND THEIR LARGEST EXPORT MARKET, THE EUROPEAN UNION, THREATENED TO BLOCK FURTHER EXPORTS DUE TO ALLEGATIONS ABOUT IUU FISHING. AS PART OF WWF'S PILOT PROGRAM, FIVE VESSELS WERE EQUIPPED WITH SOPHISTICATED CAMERAS TO MONITOR OPERATIONS, WITH THAT NUMBER EVENTUALLY EXPANDING TO INCLUDE ALL 14 ACTIVE PURSE SEINE TUNA FISHING VESSELS FLAGGED TO GHANA. MEANWHILE, THE GOVERNMENT CREATED A UNIT OF LAND-BASED OBSERVERS TO ANALYZE THE DATA. CRITICALLY, THIS UNIT OFFERED JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN IN AN INDUSTRY DOMINATED BY MEN: BY THE FINAL YEAR OF THE PILOT PROGRAM, 75 PERCENT OF FISHING TRIPS WERE OBSERVED BY FEMALE ANALYSTS. PROTECTING FREE-FLOWING RIVERS. AFTER YEARS OF COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH, EXPERTS FROM WWF, MCGILL UNIVERSITY, AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS PUBLISHED A GROUND-BREAKING STUDY ON RIVERS IN THE SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL NATURE. ACCORDING TO THE STUDY, INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER MAN-MADE CHANGES - PARTICULARLY DAMS - HAVE FRAGMENTED OR DISRUPTED TWO-THIRDS OF EARTH'S LONGEST RIVERS. THE STUDY HELPED DRIVE WWF'S STRATEGY TO STRENGTHEN LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR RIVERS, ASSIST COMMUNITIES IN ADOPTING NON-HYDRO SOURCES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY LIKE SOLAR AND WIND, AND PURSUE DAM REMOVAL AND RESTORATION EFFORTS AROUND THE WORLD. WORKING IN CONCERT WITH THE COMMUNITIES THAT DEPEND ON RIVERS, WWF ALSO LEVERAGED THE STUDY TO HALT THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW DAMS THAT WOULD DEVASTATE THEIR NATURAL BOUNTY. WWF'S EFFORTS HELPED TO STOP THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MEGA-HYDROPOWER DAM ON THE 683-MILE LUANGWA RIVER IN ZAMBIA, A CRITICAL RESOURCE FOR FRESHWATER FISH STOCKS, AGRICULTURE, AND WILDLIFE-BASED TOURISM. WWF ALSO HELPED TO STOP THE DAMMING OF THE 288-MILE MURA RIVER,WHICH SUSTAINS A VAST AND BOUNTIFUL WILDERNESS KNOWN AS THE "AMAZON OF EUROPE." ELIMINATING PLASTIC POLLUTION. IF THE WORLD REMAINS ON ITS CURRENT COURSE, THE OCEAN COULD CONTAIN MORE PLASTIC THAN FISH BY MID-CENTURY. PLASTIC POLLUTION ALSO POSES A THREAT TO RIVERS, LANDSCAPES, WILDLIFE AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE GLOBE. IN RESPONSE, MANY COMPANIES HAVE COMMITTED TO REDUCING THEIR PLASTIC FOOTPRINT, BUT SOME LACK A CLEAR ROADMAP OR METRICS TO MEASURE SUCCESS. SO IN 2019, WWF LAUNCHED RESOURCE: PLASTIC, A SUITE OF TOOLS TO HELP COMPANIES FULFILL THEIR COMMITMENTS TO CURB PLASTIC POLLUTION. RESOURCE OFFERS GUIDANCE FOR COMPANIES TO ADOPT A SYSTEM-WIDE APPROACH THAT ADDRESSES PLASTIC PRODUCTION, CONSUMPTION, WASTE MANAGEMENT AND RECYCLING. WWF ESTIMATES THAT AS FEW AS 100 COMPANIES ENGAGED IN CROSS-SECTOR COLLABORATION COULD PREVENT 10 MILLION METRIC TONS OF PLASTIC POLLUTION - AND THAT NUMBER COULD TRIPLE BY CATALYZING ACTION ACROSS SUPPLY CHAINS AND INDUSTRIES. RESOURCE'S PRINCIPAL MEMBERS INCLUDE KEURIG, DR PEPPER, MCDONALD'S, PROCTER & GAMBLE, STARBUCKS, TETRA PAK AND THE COCA-COLA COMPANY. PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RUBBER. WWF BECAME A FOUNDING MEMBER AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER OF THE GLOBAL PLATFORM FOR SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RUBBER, A MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PLATFORM CREATED TO PROMOTE THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF DEFORESTATION-FREE RUBBER. SOME 75 PERCENT OF NATURAL RUBBER ENDS UP IN TIRES FOR CARS, AIRPLANES AND OTHER VEHICLES. WITH THE WORLD'S FLEET PROJECTED TO DOUBLE BY 2040, SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RUBBER HAS BECOME A CORE PART OF WWF'S MISSION TO ACHIEVE NET-ZERO DEFORESTATION. TO THAT END, WWF PARTNERS WITH COMPANIES TO ENCOURAGE AND FACILITATE THE PRODUCTION, SOURCING AND USE OF SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RUBBER. TODAY, SEVEN OF THE WORLD'S TOP TIRE MAKERS AND THREE OF THE TOP AUTO MAKERS HAVE JOINED THEIR EFFORT. MEANWHILE, WWF ENGAGES RUBBER FARMERS ON THE GROUND IN SOUTHEAST ASIA- WHERE 90 PERCENT OF NATURAL RUBBER ORIGINATES-TO ADOPT SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES THAT BENEFIT ECOSYSTEMS, WILDLIFE, AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES. 1250 24 LLC 1250 24TH ST NW Washington DC 20037 814591595 REAL ESTATE DC 973119 1977740 WWF 1250 24 STREET LLC 1250 24TH ST NW WASHINGTON DC 20037 821723387 Real Estate DC 5778805 4464230 WWF
