In 2018, with climate progress still blocked in Washington, DC, EDF pursued other ways to advance these goals. At the state level, for example, EDF helped stop massive coal bailouts in Ohio, worked closely with the Illinois Power Agency on implementing renewable energy regulations, and helped develop New Jersey policy to meet 50% of electricity needs with renewable sources by 2030. EDF also advised China on what will become the worlds largest carbon market, initially covering 1,700 companies in the power sector. And to reduce human-caused emissions of methane - which are responsible for more than 25% of today's global warming - EDF entered into a partnership with Harvard and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to develop a new satellite to monitor global methane emissions from space. 28032980 3646159 0 Ecosystems - EDF develops ways to meet peoples needs for food, water and other natural resources while improving ecosystems, rather than harming them. EDF worked with agribusiness and food interests including Campbell Soup Company, Land OLakes and Smithfield Foods on fertilizer efficiency plans that will help reduce serious fertilizer pollution of air and water. Together, these and other companies have committed to adopt best practices on more than 20 million acres. In 2018, to further accelerate progress, EDF partnered with the National Corn Growers Association, which represents about 80 percent of Americas corn farmers. EDF also worked with farmers, ranchers and others to improve habitat for endangered wildlife, including through the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Exchange, where farmers and ranchers can earn credits for growing milkweed, which is essential to the monarchs survival. And in Louisiana, EDF is helping coastal areas vulnerable to storms, sea level rise and flooding. 23755088 2877250 0 Oceans - To improve the health of the oceans and increase future supplies of seafood, EDF aims to sharply reduce overfishing and achieve a dramatic recovery in fish populations. EDF advocates secure fishing rights to give fishermen a financial stake in conserving fish for the future. To accelerate the adoption of sustainable fishing management, EDF and its partners have developed software, training manuals and case studies and have trained more than 700 fishery leaders from Chile to Spain to the Philippines. In 2018, EDF worked with Chile and Peru to help the countries share information on fish stocks and consider new management arrangements that could make their fisheries more resilient in the face of climate change. In Sweden, EDF worked with fishermen and government officials to design a sustainable fishing system that could be replicated across Europe. And along the West Coast of the United States, EDF and its allies helped safeguard 140,000 square miles of sensitive ocean habitat. 11344019 1434532 0 HEALTH 8702626 198429 0 EDUCATION 2706860 4150 0 OTHER 22753505 1637111 0 150381119 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false true true false true false true true true false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true false true X 491 0 true 816 true true true true MX UK CH false false false false false false false false X 40 40 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X ROBERT YOUNG 2125052100 257 PARK AVENUE SOUTH NEW YORK NY 10010 X Carl Ferenbach CHAIR 6.0 4.0 X X 0 0 0 Shelby W Bonnie vice chair 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Ruth Defries PH D vice chair 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Honorable Thomas H Kean vice chair 2.0 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Arthur P Cooley SECRETARY 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Herb Allen TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 G Leonard Baker Jr TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Joshua Bekenstein TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Bills TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Sally G Bingham MDiv TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Christopher A Cole TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Christopher J Costello TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 LESLIE DACH TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ann Doerr THRU 518 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Ford Dorsey TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Stanley Druckenmiller TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kirsten J Feldman TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Lynn R Goldman MD MPH TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Charles J Hamilton Jr Esq TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Griffith R Harsh IV MD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark W Heising TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kristine Johnson TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lisa Keith FROM 718 trustee 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 XUE LAN TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Richard Lazarus Esq TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Abby Leigh TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Katherine Lorenz TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Frank E Loy TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Dr Jane Lubchenco THRU 518 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ray Mabus FROM 118 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Mandel TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Murdoch TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Oberndorf FROM 1017 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Olden PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Signe Ostby TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stephen Pacala PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Julian Robertson Jr TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ginger Sall FROM 1017 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Peggy M Shepard TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lise Strickler TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 David Vogel FROM 1017 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Charles F Wurster PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Frederic D Krupp President 36.0 4.0 X 665748 0 54173 ROBERT YOUNG SEE SCH O CONTROLLER & INTERIM CFO 37.0 3.0 X 158455 0 31295 JOHN MCGEEHAN THRU 218 CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 37.0 3.0 X 284732 0 35910 GWEN RUTA EXECUTIVE VP -

In FY2018, EDF spent a total of $2,459,715, which comprises 1.34% of its total expenditures, on influencing legislation. Consistent with its tax-exempt purpose, EDFs lobbying activities were focused on the protection of the environment, human health, and wildlife. During FY2018, EDF held the line on environmental protections in an era of environmental assault. EDF was successful in ensuring bedrock statutory protections remained in place though the conflict with the environment continues. EDF will continue to find practical and lasting solutions to the most serious environmental problems. EDF worked to save the Environmental Protection Agency from budget cuts, ensured the preservation of the Bureau of Land Managements methane and waste prevention rule, and safeguarded against the rollbacks of other federal environmental protection laws. EDF was also active in voicing its position on nominations for federal environmental posts. Much of the lobbying work around these issues was carried out by Moms Clean Air Force, a special project of EDF. In addition to efforts focused on federal legislation, EDF was active during FY2018 at the state-level, including in the states of California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New Mexico. The work in California was directed towards adopting a 100% carbon free energy standard with the successful passage of SB 100, and in protecting communities and the climate from oil and gas pollution with the passage of AB 2195 and the attempted passage of AB 3146. The findings also helped shape new state regulations in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Wyoming, along with the first national standards to reduce emissions from oil and natural gas production. Additional efforts were carried out in New Jersey for a clean energy future, and in Ohio EDF also helped stop massive coal bailouts. EDF accomplishes its lobbying objectives through both in-house staff and outside consultants, who assist with strategizing and planning, and through grassroots and direct communications. EDFs largest lobby expenditure during FY2018 was a grant of $2.3M provided to Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDAF), the political action partner and affiliated 501(c)(4) organization of EDF. The purpose of the grant was to provide general support for the educational and lobbying activities of EDAF in furtherance of its mission, which is consistent with the shared program objectives of EDF and EDAF. As required by law, EDAF is restricted from using any of the EDF lobby grant funds for political campaign activities under the terms of the grant agreement between EDF and EDAF. 13242230 3011 1073741 597979 13721003 12453146 27521 1504407 742844 13242230 12170777 598267 315898 12453146 7492238 377594 282629 7587203 6401844 1335610 245216 7492238 0.53380 0.46620 false false 393319 92430 300889 21100372 8448436 12651936 5626271 4117304 1508967 5411124 4793036 618088 15079880 0 ANNUITIES PAYABLE 4407795 RETIREMENT PLAN LIABILITY 3680544 8088339 X 210535941 -73684 13385 -60299 210596240 210596240 183623616 13385 13385 183610231 183610231 PART V, LINE 4: ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND, INC.S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF TWENTY-ONE INDIVIDUAL FUNDS, ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES AND CONSISTING ENTIRELY OF DONOR-RESTRICTED FUNDS.
