DescIN 1816, AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY (THE SOCIETY) WAS FOUNDED IN NEW YORK CITY AS A CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO DISTRIBUTING AND ENGAGING PEOPLE WITH GODS WORD IN THE UNITED STATES AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. SERVING ALONGSIDE THE GLOBAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH, THE SOCIETY REMAINS DEDICATED TO THIS ORIGINAL PURPOSE, WITH A MISSION: TO MAKE THE BIBLE AVAILABLE TO EVERY PERSON IN A LANGUAGE AND FORMAT EACH CAN UNDERSTAND AND AFFORD, SO ALL PEOPLE MAY EXPERIENCE ITS LIFE-CHANGING MESSAGE. TODAY, THE SOCIETY INVITES MILLIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE TO EXPERIENCE THE PROFOUND, LIFE-CHANGING MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE, FOCUSING ON: TRANSLATION. WE MAKE THE WORD OF GOD AVAILABLE AND ALIVE FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE STILL WAITING FOR A BIBLE IN THEIR LANGUAGE. WE WORK WITH MINISTRIES AND BIBLE SOCIETIES ACROSS THE GLOBE TO ACCELERATE BIBLE TRANSLATION THROUGH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS, AND A SHARED SENSE OF URGENCY. Our goal is that by 2026, WE WILL SEE 100 percent OF LANGUAGES OPEN TO SCRIPTURE ENGAGEMENT. Bible based TRAUMA HEALING. TRAUMA IS A BARRIER TO THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL. BIBLE-BASED TRAUMA HEALING USES THE POWER OF SCRIPTURE, COMBINED WITH MENTAL HEALTH BEST PRACTICES, TO BRING JOY TO WOUNDED HEARTS. WE BRING GODS MESSAGE OF LOVE, HOPE, AND REDEMPTION TO SOME OF THE WORLDS DARKEST PLACES: REFUGEE CAMPS, ORPHANAGES, PRISONS, AND WAR-TORN VILLAGES. TRANSFORMING AMERICA. AMERICAN VIRTUES LIKE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE ARE DRAWN FROM THE PAGES OF SCRIPTURE. THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY FROM THE FOUNDING FATHERS TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, THE BIBLE HAS GUIDED AMERICAN HEROES IN THEIR PURSUIT OF JUSTICE. TODAY, WE INVITE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TO ENGAGE WITH THE WORD OF GOD TO TRANSFORM OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, OUR CITIES, AND OUR COUNTRY, ONE HEART AT A TIME. THE SOCIETY CARRIES OUT ITS MISSION BY: AFFIRMING THE POWER OF GOD TO SPEAK TO EVERY GENERATION THROUGH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES; PROVIDING TRANSLATIONS OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES THAT ARE FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL BIBLICAL TEXTS; WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES AND CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES; ENGAGING CULTURE AND EMPOWERING THE CHURCH WITH GODS WORD THROUGH TECHNOLOGY, NEW MEDIA, AND DIGITAL CHANNELS. THE ONGOING WORK OF THE SOCIETY, INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN 1841, IS DEPENDENT ON STRONG CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THOUSANDS OF financial partners AND SUPPORTERS. THE SOCIETY HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS A NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS AN ORGANIZATION WHICH IS NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION. WHILE REMAINING INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE SOCIETY began transitioning out of its New York city headquarters in January 2015 and RELOCATED TO PHILADELPHIA IN AUGUST 2015. After marking our bicentennial in 2016, American Bible Society began its 201st year of Bible ministry in 2017 by faithfully moving ahead with our vision of seeing 100 million people living in the United States actively engaged in Gods Word by the year 2026. We will reach this goal by working closely with churches and other Bible ministries in cities across the United States, offering our wide variety of Scripture resources in print and digital formats, as well as our Bible based trauma healing ministry that uses the healing power of Gods Word to ease wounded hearts. We are also proud to continue our global ministry as we seek to finish the Bible translation work of the remaining 1,700 languages that do not have at least a portion of Scripture in their native languages. As we work to see 100 percent of the worlds languages translated into Scripture, we are actively working to open first engagement opportunities for those who have yet to experience the Bible's life changing message. In the last fiscal year, American Bible Society saw more than 20 million people impacted by its Scripture engagement ministry. American Bible Society has a long history of reaching across denominational lines to focus on what unites all Christians: The Bible. Currently, American Bible Societys Board of Directors includes Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christians. Since its founding in 1816, American Bible Society has experienced many changes in culture and technology, but has continued to innovate Scripture delivery and engagement. To share Gods Word with people in the U.S., weve developed a two pronged innovative approach: advocating for the Bible in culture and working to encourage Scripture engagement in U.S. cities. This includes working among the military community; Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic churches; and those who have experienced great pain or trauma. Working through channels of culture, including media and the arts, we share the message of the Bible in a practical, relevant context. By working with church, ministry, and community partners in U.S. cities, we equip local leaders to share Gods Word in a way that addresses the needs of a particular city. The Bible is the most significant book in human history, influencing billions of lives and shaping the formation of Bible Societies around the world. Yet many in American culture today think the Bible is antiquated, irrelevant, or even dangerous. By highlighting the influence and message of the Bible within culture, we have the opportunity to foster authentic exploration and renewed attitudes about what the Bible has to offer human society. Over the last several years, American Bible Society and Barna Group have been carefully looking at the State of the Bible in the United States and found that negative attitudes toward the Bible are on the rise. In reference to The State of the Bible 2017, the data from Barna shows that 81 percent of Americans feel that morals are declining in the United States and that lack of Bible reading is one of the core reasons for that decline. The survey also indicated that 68 percent of adult Americans engage with the Bible as they feel it brings them closer to God and strengthens their faith. Some 58 percent of Americans also long to spend more time reading and engaging with the Bible, which provides American Bible Society with fertile ground to continue to grow our ministry to help people access and engage with the Bible, as well as ensure future generations can fully experience its life changing message. Additional findings from the 2017 State of the Bible survey include: Nearly one half of all adults (48 percent) believe the Bible has too little influence in American society today and that more needs to be done to restore the Bibles influence here. Americans were asked whether they feel the Bible encourages, discourages, or is silent about 10 specific attitudes or behaviors. The most common behaviors Americans feel the Bible strongly encourages are patience (94 percent), generosity (93 percent), and serving the poor (93 percent). In the United States today, most people have a Bible, but not everyone reads it. Thats why were working together with ministry and financial partners to advocate for the Bible in our culture and equip local churches and communities to share the message of Scripture with those who need it most. Whether people dont have time to read the Bible, dont know where to start, or doubt the relevance of the Bibles message for their lives, Americans need help breaking down the barriers that prevent them from reading and being changed by Gods Word. The trend of Bible engagement is declining while Bible skepticism is rising in the U.S. today. As fewer Americans read, study, and share Gods Word, we have an opportunity to counter the trend starting in cities. Through collaboration with urban churches and community leaders, we can equip more people in more U.S. cities to engage with Gods Word. Church and community leaders from Phoenix to New York City want to share the life changing message of Gods Word. But many of them lack the resources they need to effectively reach their communities with the Bible. To deliver the good news of Jesus Christ in these diverse urban contexts, leaders must have access to resources created specifically for their cities. Moving the needle of Bible engagement requires strategic partnership. Thats why, with the help of American Bible Societys financial partners, we collaborate with church and community leaders to host listening sessions and distribute contextualized Bible resources. This work includes: Listening: By listening to and convening key urban leaders, we have identified barriers to Bible engagement in cities like Phoenix, Dallas, Charlotte, New York City, and Philadelphia. Collaborating: By collaborating with churches, organizations, and leaders in these cities, we have begun developing Bible resources tailored for Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant ministries. Equipping: By distributing these contextualized Bible resources to church and community leaders, more people will be able to engage with Gods Word. In the U.S., American Bible Society works to make Gods WordDesc

Schedule D, Part III, Line 1aAmerican Bible Society maintains a rare scripture collection that has been acquired through purchases and contributions since American Bible Society's inception. The collection preserves historically significant scriptures, provides for scholarly research, and contributes to the public good through educational exhibitions.
Schedule D, Part VENDOWMENT FUNDS American Bible Society's endowment funds (quasi & true permanently restricted endowment) exist to support the organization's mission. The unrestricted funds (quasi-endowment) help subsidize the operating budget via an annual spending formula, which allows more current donor contributions to directly fund programs. A spending formula is also applied to the restricted funds (true endowment) WHICH ARE appropriated for both general and specific purposes as designated by original donor intent. AMERICAN Bible Society HAS maintainED the historical principal value on true endowments. On September 17, 2010, New York State passed the New York State Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act. All not-for-profit organizations formed in NEw York, including the Society, must comply with this law, commencing with the Society's 2011 fiscal year. From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with an individual donor-restricted endowment fund may fall below the funds historic dollar value.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2Fin 48 (ASC 740) In July 2006, guidance was issued in the area of "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." The standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This standard provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. It was effective for the Bible Society on July 1, 2009, and had no material impact on the accompanying financial statements. The tax years ending 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. The Bible Society has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and, to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions.

Form 990, Part VI, Section AGoverning Body and Management Line 3: Name of Management Company: Ten Talents Partners LLC Description of Services: Interim CFO Individual Listed in Part VII: Robert Lipps Effective Start Date: April 5, 2016 Effective Term Date: March 6, 2017 as interim CFO Form 990, Part VI, Section B Policies Line 11: The Form 990 was prepared and reviewed by an independent accounting firm, grant thornton llp, in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated to the full Board of Directors for discussion and comment. Each Board Member was provided ample opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to its filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Line 12: Employees are regularly counseled by the legal staff in conflict of interest awareness and are required to file conflict of interest disclosure statements annually. Conflicts identified are investigated by the internal audit staff for resolution with management and the Board Audit Committee. Line 15: Compensation for the president & CEO is determined by a compensation committee appointed by the board of directors. The compensation committee relies on a number of different sources to determine compensation, including, but not limited to, compensation benchmark surveys and studies, compensation paid to similar officers at similar institutions (i.e. by reviewing the form 990 of other organizations), including those in major urban centers. Recommendations were based on a comprehensive study leveraging external, independent research by Guide star and other 3rd party consulting organizations.
