We focused completing and updating the first phase of our research; and publishing and promoting the Penguin Random House book. We continued to assemble a broad-based coalition of climatologists, engineers, biologists, fellows, financial analysts, architects, indigenous leaders, agronomists, activists, NGOs, and agencies to review and validate all data, models, and text.RESEARCH-During January through March, our senior Research Team continued to prepare detailed documentation of the methodology behind our modeling of the atmospheric and financial impacts of the solutions featured in Drawdown. This included documentation of the process we used to integrate the solutions into sector and global models. -During the rest of the year, our senior Research Team devoted many hours to enhancing the rigor of our methodology and refining our standard atmospheric and financial models in preparation for sharing the models more broadly and for Phase 2 of Project Drawdowns ongoing research. OUTREACH-The outcome of the first phase of our research is contained in the book, Drawdown, published in the United States by Penguin Random House in April 2017 and also published at drawdown.org. -We executed a complete redesign of our website, drawdown.org, which was launched in March. The new website has a custom design that mirrors the stunning graphics featured in Drawdown, along with the addition of extensive information about the drawdown solutions. Six months after publication of Drawdown, sales momentum was growing, not leveling off or abating, an indicator that drawdown is not a fad but a growing movement. Within a week of release, Drawdown hit #9 on the New York Times bestseller list for paperback nonfiction and returned to that list on several occasions since its debut. As of September 2017, Drawdown had risen to #20 on Amazons overall best seller list. -Drawdown has continued to receive extensive media coverage in print, radio and television. Drawdown staff participated in many live speaking engagements, interviews and podcasts.-In addition to the book Drawdown, we saw significant engagement with our research and methodology via our website, drawdown.org. During Q2 Q4, drawdown.org had 1,016,000 page views and 260,000 unique visitors. Visitors to the site came from over 13,000 cities.-Beyond publication of the book Drawdown, we implemented a comprehensive communications and engagement strategy to introduce the public to Drawdown and the results of our research project and to grow our Coalition of partners who are aligned in intent to work collaboratively to promote drawdown and reverse global warming. COALITION-As a result of worldwide response to our work, we expanded the Drawdown Coalition by forming partnerships with individuals and organizations around the world who are using the Drawdown framework as a platform for engaging their communities and constituencies. -We increased the size of our Coalition, adding the 17 new Advisors and 54 Partners. 993268 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 31 0 false 5 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 12 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true false false CA X X Anne Marshall 5105574037 27 GATE 5 ROAD SAUSALITO CA 94965 PAUL HAWKEN President & ED 40.00 0.00 X X 102500 0 0 PETER BYCK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN LANIER Sec/Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LISA CRAIG GAUTIER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANINE BENYUS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PEDRO DINIZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LYN DAVIS LEAR Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PEGGY LIU Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARTIN O'MALLEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN WICK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David de Rothschild Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Craid McCaw Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 102500 1 false false false 0 1168407 1168407 0 0 0 0 0 6033 13511 -7478 -7478 -7478 0 0 0 0 1160929 -7478 X 0 0 0 0 102500 71750 10250 20500 0 342123 333713 6920 1490 0 23945 24724 -1024 245 33574 30824 1157 1593 310289 274320 35969 0 10509 10509 0 0 0 147220 145622 1598 35888 35875 13 3544 1285 2235 24 0 0 36750 36750 33445 29201 1 4243 0 3470 379 1661 1430 0 0 3316 3316 1898 1898 PUBLICATION MATERIALS 30744 30744 Postage and Shipping 6963 6687 276 DUES &,SUBSCRIPTIONS 6846 3615 2961 270 TELECOMMUNICATION & SERVERS 2876 1213 233 1430 833 833 1136733 993268 112227 31238 197461 229341 0 0 52 11155 0 0 0 0 0 17346 4892 13471 12454 0 0 0 0 6502 0 217486 252950 27523 38791 50000 50000 77523 88791 X 139963 164159 139963 164159 217486 252950 24196 X false false false X 67657 80295 691634 1158862 1168407 3166855 0 0 67657 80295 691634 1158862 1168407 3166855 0 3166855 5643 249 5892 0 0 3172747 0.99810 0.99730 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10616 2985 7631 6730 1907 4823 12454 PAUL HAWKEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WORKING CAPITAL X 100000 50000 false true true 50000 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Form 990 is e-mailed to the Executive Director by the CPA prior to filing for review and comment.
