THE LEASE WAS APPROVED BY DISINTERESTED BOARD MEMBERS AFTER DISCLOSURE OF THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE PARTICULAR BOARD MEMBER. THE BOARD DETERMINED THAT THE LEASE TERMS WERE REASONABLE AS COMPARED TO LEASE TERMS FOR COMPARABLE SPACE.

THE INSTITUTE IS ALSO FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECRUIT A NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING EXPERTS (BOTH RETIRED AND ACTIVE) IN THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF GEMS AND JEWELRY. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT FIRMS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF THESE GOVERNORS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE INSTITUTE'S THREE EXEMPT ACTIVITIES PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO AND APPROVED BY THE IRS: EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND GEM LABORATORY ACTIVITIES. (IN ADDITION, A RELATIVELY SMALL PORTION OF THE TRANSACTIONS INVOLVED SALES OF GEMOLOGICAL INSTRUMENTS, BOOKS AND SUPPLIES WHICH HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS NONEXEMPT ACTIVITIES.)

JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. IN ADDITION, GIA LAUNCHED THE GEMKIDS WEBSITE IN 2014, BRINGING INTERACTIVE, ONLINE GEMOLOGY AND GEOLOGY EDUCATION TO STUDENTS AGES 9-12. GIA HOSTS A JEWELRY CAREER FAIR AND OPEN HOUSE AT ONE OR MORE OF ITS CAMPUSES ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THE EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. AS THE JEWELRY INDUSTRY'S LARGEST JOB FAIR, THE EVENT ALWAYS ATTRACTS THE INDUSTRY'S TOP RETAILERS, MANUFACTURERS, LABORATORIES AND WHOLESALERS INTERESTED IN HIRING GIA STUDENTS AND GRADUATES. IN 2018, APPROXIMATELY 550 INDIVIDUALS ATTENDED THE CAREER FAIR AND OPEN HOUSE EVENT IN NEW YORK. THE MISSION OF THE INSTITUTE'S RICHARD T. LIDDICOAT GEMOLOGICAL LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CENTER IN CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA IS TO CONTINUE AS THE WORLD'S PREMIER RESOURCE FOR INFORMATION IN THE FIELDS OF GEM AND JEWELRY-RELATED STUDIES. AS SUCH, THE INSTITUTE PROMOTES THE USE OF ITS RESOURCES FOR EDUCATION AND RESEARCH BY THE PUBLIC, THE GEM AND JEWELRY INDUSTRY, AND THE INSTITUTE'S STUDENTS, FACULTY AND ALUMNI. THE INSTITUTE'S LIBRARY HOUSES THE WORLD'S LARGEST COLLECTION OF DIAMOND, GEM AND JEWELRY RESOURCE MATERIALS. WHETHER BY PHONE, E-MAIL OR IN PERSON, THE LIBRARY STAFF SERVES SCIENTISTS, JEWELERS, GEMOLOGISTS AND STUDENTS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE. THE EXPERT LIBRARY STAFF DRAWS UPON A GROWING COLLECTION OF OVER 17,000 ITEMS IN ITS CIRCULATING COLLECTION, OVER 49,000 ITEMS IN THE RENOWNED CARTIER RARE BOOK REPOSITORY AND ARCHIVES, OVER 214,000 PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES, 2,000 VIDEOS (VHS AND DVD FORMAT), APPROXIMATELY 700 JOURNAL AND MAGAZINE TITLES, 250 CD-ROMS AND 130 AUDIO CDS TO PROVIDE READY REFERENCE IN THE FIELDS OF GEMOLOGY AND JEWELRY. GIA'S LIBRARY COLLECTION ALSO INCLUDES 142 DIGITAL TITLES PURCHASED THROUGH OVERDRIVE, A DIGITAL CONTENT PROVIDER, AND 503 DIGITIZED VERSIONS OF RARE WORKS IN THE COLLECTION. THE INSTITUTE'S MUSEUM ALSO EDUCATES THE PUBLIC ON GEMS AND GEMOLOGY, DISPLAYING CUT GEMS, MINERAL SPECIMENS AND JEWELRY. IN 2018, 6,025 GUESTS VISITED AND TOURED THE MUSEUM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AS DISCUSSED BELOW, THE INSTITUTE PUBLISHES "GEMS & GEMOLOGY," A PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL THAT EDUCATES ITS READERSHIP ABOUT THE LATEST DISCOVERIES IN GEMOLOGY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B:	LABORATORY: THE MISSION OF THE INSTITUTE'S LABORATORY IS TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM MISREPRESENTATION PERTAINING TO GEMS (WHETHER INNOCENT, NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL), TO DETER GEM THEFT, TO ASSIST IN RECOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY AND PROSECUTION OF CRIMINALS, AND TO PROMOTE STATE-OF-THE-ART RESEARCH INTO THE TECHNIQUES BY WHICH GEMS ARE MODIFIED TECHNOLOGICALLY OR GROWN IN A LABORATORY. THE FBI'S JEWELRY AND GEM PROGRAM HAS DESIGNATED GIA AS A PARTNER LISTED ON THE FBI WEBSITE IN COMBATING GEM THEFT. IN 2018, GIA CONTINUED ITS PRACTICE OF FLAGGING STOLEN GEMSTONES IN ITS DATABASE, AND RECOVERED MULTIPLE GEMSTONES IN CASES IN WHICH STONES WERE RESUBMITTED TO THE LABORATORY AFTER HAVING BEEN STOLEN. GIA ALSO GRADED STONES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AT NO COST AND RESPONDED TO MANY INFORMATION REQUESTS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. FURTHERMORE, GIA PROVIDED MANY DOCUMENTS AT THE REQUEST OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TO ASSIST THEM IN THEIR DUTIES. THE LABORATORY FULFILLS ITS MISSION BY EXAMINING AND CLASSIFYING INDIVIDUAL GEM MATERIALS SUBMITTED TO THE GIA LABORATORY AND ITS INTERNATIONAL SUBSIDIARIES' LABORATORIES. DIAMONDS AND LABORATORY GROWN DIAMONDS ARE IDENTIFIED AND GRADED, WITH REPORTS ISSUED ON THEIR PRECISE IDENTIFYING FEATURES AND WITH QUALITY ASSESSMENTS ON THE 4CS: COLOR, CLARITY, CUT AND CARAT WEIGHT. COLORED GEMSTONES, LABORATORY GROWN COLORED STONES, PEARLS AND CULTURED PEARLS ARE IDENTIFIED, WITH REPORTS ISSUED UPON CLIENT REQUEST. THE DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES OF A GIVEN GEM ARE UNIQUE TO THAT GEM IN MUCH THE SAME WAY A FINGERPRINT IS UNIQUE TO AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON. ONCE A GEM HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR EXAMINATION, ITS CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES ARE RECORDED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IN CASE IT IS EVER RESUBMITTED, EITHER IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF EVENTS OR IN QUESTIONABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS WITH LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS. ADDITIONALLY, IF REQUESTED, AN IDENTIFICATION CODE CAN BE LASER INSCRIBED UPON THE GEM. THE SUBSTANTIAL AND CONTINUOUS VOLUME OF GEM MATERIALS THAT ARE SUBMITTED FOR EXAMINATION, TOGETHER WITH THE LARGE COLLECTION OF COMPARISON GEMS ACQUIRED BY GIA, CONSTITUTE AN INVALUABLE DATABASE FOR THE RESEARCH AND PUBLIC SERVICE CONDUCTED BY THE INSTITUTE. TO MAKE THIS PUBLIC SERVICE POSSIBLE, GIA CHARGES RELATIVELY MODEST FEES THAT VARY BY THE TYPE AND SIZE OF THE GEM MATERIAL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT GIA DOES NOT APPRAISE ANY GEM MATERIALS OR OTHERWISE ESTABLISH THEIR MARKET VALUE. COMMERCE IN GEMS IS GLOBAL, WITH THE RESULT THAT MANY GEM MATERIALS SOLD BY FOREIGN GEM OWNERS OR DEALERS ULTIMATELY FIND THEIR WAY TO THE U.S. MARKET, EITHER THROUGH WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION OR FUTURE RESALE. MOST DIAMONDS PURCHASED IN THE U.S. HAVE BEEN MINED AND PROCESSED OUTSIDE OF THIS COUNTRY. SOME PROPORTION OF THOSE DIAMONDS HAVE HISTORICALLY NOT BEEN SUBMITTED TO GIA'S LABORATORY BECAUSE OF THE GEOGRAPHIC DISTANCE BETWEEN GIA'S LABORATORY FACILITIES IN CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK AND THE DISTANT LOCATIONS OF MINES AND DEALERS. TO ENHANCE ITS ABILITY TO PURSUE THE MISSION OF PROTECTING THE GEM PURCHASING PUBLIC, DETERRING THEFT, AND ASSISTING IN RECOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY AND PROSECUTION OF CRIMINALS, GIA OPERATES LABORATORIES THROUGH ITS BRANCHES AND WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES IN BOTSWANA, HONG KONG, INDIA, ISRAEL, JAPAN, SOUTH AFRICA, AND THAILAND; AND GIA OPERATES AN INTAKE OFFICE OFFERING LOGISTICAL SUPPORT THROUGH A BRANCH IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C:	RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS: THE INSTITUTE'S RESEARCHERS UTILIZE SOPHISTICATED ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES AND SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT TO ADVANCE THE SCIENCE OF GEMOLOGY, INCLUDING DETECTION OF LABORATORY GROWN GEMS, CULTURED PEARLS AND TREATED NATURAL GEMS. THE MISSION OF THE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT IS TO (1) CHARACTERIZE THE GEMOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF GEM MATERIALS AND DEVELOP PRACTICAL WAYS TO IDENTIFY THEM; (2) UNDERSTAND THE CONDITIONS OF GEMSTONE FORMATION IN THE EARTH, AS WELL AS THE CONDITIONS OF GEM TREATMENT AND EVALUATION OF ANY LABORATORY GROWTH PROPERTIES, AS A FURTHER BASIS FOR DEVELOPING MEANS OF GEM IDENTIFICATION; (3) INVESTIGATE THE FACTORS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APPEARANCE OF DIAMONDS AND OTHER GEM MATERIALS, SO AS TO ESTABLISH METHODS TO EVALUATE THEIR QUALITY; AND (4) DESIGN AND IMPROVE INSTRUMENTS FOR GEM STONE TESTING. THE INSTITUTE IS THE WORLD LEADER IN RESEARCHING THE METHODS BY WHICH GEM MATERIALS CAN BE ENHANCED IN COLOR OR CLARITY OR GROWN IN A LABORATORY. THIS RESEARCH HELPS PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM POSSIBLE MISREPRESENTATIONS PERTAINING TO GEM MATERIALS. THE INSTITUTE ACTS AS A CONSUMER ADVOCATE TO ENSURE THAT CONSUMERS, ALONG WITH RETAILERS AND WHOLESALERS, ARE FULLY APPRISED OF THE TRUE CHARACTER - NATURAL, TREATED, OR LABORATORY GROWN - OF ANY SPECIFIC GEM. SINCE 2011, GIA HAS PARTICIPATED IN AN AGREEMENT WITH UNITED STATES CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION TO COLLABORATE ON ANALYSES OF GEMSTONES IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THEIR IDENTITY (NATURAL, TREATED-NATURAL OR LABORATORY GROWN), INDICATIONS OF COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, AND DEVELOP A DATABASE FOR INTERNATIONAL, FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT WILL FACILITATE TRADE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. THIS COLLABORATION HELPS TO LESSEN THE BURDENS OF GOVERNMENT. IN 2014, GIA INTRODUCED THE GIA DIAMONDCHECK, A DEVICE THAT DRAWS ON GIA'S DECADES OF RESEARCH TO ASSIST IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF DIAMONDS THAT ARE POTENTIALLY LABORATORY GROWN OR COLOR-TREATED. AS PART OF ITS PUBLIC BENEFIT MISSION, GIA, WORKING WITH THE WORLD FEDERATION OF DIAMOND BOURSES (WFDB), MADE THE DIAMONDCHECK AVAILABLE AT NO COST TO 20 DIAMOND BOURSES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. IN 2017, GIA INTRODUCED A PORTABLE INSTRUMENT ID100 FOR QUICK SEPARATION OF NATURAL DIAMONDS FROM LAB GROWN DIAMONDS. TO DISSEMINATE THEIR FINDINGS, GIA RESEARCHERS SPEAK AT SEMINARS, POST DEVELOPMENTS ONLINE ON THE GIA WEBSITE, AND PUBLISH FREQUENTLY IN SCHOLARLY TEXTS AND JOURNALS, INCLUDING "GEMS & GEMOLOGY," GIA'S QUARTERLY SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION. GEMS & GEMOLOGY, WHICH HAS BEEN IN CONTINUOUS PUBLICATION FOR 85 YEARS, PROVIDES INFORMATION ON NEW GEM MATERIALS, GEM LOCALITIES, TREATMENT AND LAB GROWTH TECHNIQUES, AND IDENTIFICATION METHODS. THE JOURNAL KEEPS STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS ALIKE UP-TO-DATE ON THE MOST CRITICAL TOPICS IN GEMOLOGY. IN RECENT YEARS, GIA HAS PUBLISHED THREE BOOKS CONTAINING ARTICLES FROM GEMS & GEMOLOGY, ON SYNTHETIC, COLORED AND TREATED DIAMONDS. THERE IS A CONSTANT DEMAND FOR BACK ISSUES BY STUDENTS, PROFESSIONALS AND HOBBYISTS RESEARCHING NUMEROUS GEMOLOGICAL SUBJECTS. IN ADDITION, GIA SUMMARIZES TECHNICAL ARTICLES PUBLISHED BY GIA RESEARCHERS IN GEMS & GEMOLOGY FOR REPUBLICATION IN TRADE JOURNALS NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, SO THE INFORMATION CAN BE BROADLY DISSEMINATED. SINCE NOVEMBER 2008, THE JOURNAL HAS BEEN AVAILABLE ONLINE AS WELL AS IN PRINT. BEGINNING IN 2013, GIA MADE ALL OF ITS CURRENT AND BACK ISSUES OF GEMS & GEMOLOGY AVAILABLE ONLINE AT NO COST, AS WELL AS SUPPLEMENTAL MEDIA AND DATA. GIA ALSO LAUNCHED THE GEM ENCYCLOPEDIA IN 2013, WHICH MAKES DETAILED BUT USER-FRIENDLY INFORMATION ON A RANGE OF GEMSTONES AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON ITS WEBSITE. IN ADDITION, GIA'S WEBSITE IS NOW AVAILABLE IN THREE LANGUAGES. WEBSITE PAGES VIEWS FOR THE YEAR 2018: GEMS & GEMOLOGY 849,925 RESEARCH & NEWS 656,787 PUBLICATION INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR 2018: ISSUES DISTRIBUTED TO SUBSCRIBERS: 3,330 CURRENT ISSUES ORDERED: 625 BACK ISSUES ORDERED: 952 TOTAL ISSUES: 4,877
