(See schedule o for more) false false 55734477 2153238 5510872 Field Conservation: In 2016, Audubon adopted a new strategic plan with the goal of protecting birds during every point of their lifecycles throughout the Americas. Audubon maximizes its conservation results by focusing on five strategies critical for birds: 1. Coasts: Audubon and its partners in Latin America work to strengthen populations of shorebirds, while preserving the breeding, stopover and wintering sites in vital habitats along the coasts of the Americas. in fy16, Audubon played a key role in two landmark decisions regarding the ocean habitat critical to shorebirds. More than 20,000 members sent letters supporting NOAAs rules to preserve 200,000 square miles of Pacific fisheries. Our research on the wintering grounds of the Atlantic Puffin supported the Obama administration decision to create the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument. 2. Working Lands: Audubon works with landowners, land managers, private industry and government agencies to create bird friendly, sustainable land-management practices on the millions of acres across the hemisphere that are dedicated to agriculture and grazing. in fy16, Audubon California worked cooperatively with Central Valley farmers to protect all of the tricolored blackbird colonies nesting in agricultural fields these 57,000 birds represent one-third of the global population of the species. 3. Water: Audubon works to ensure that critical wetlands, in peril due to water allocation and quality issues, get the water they need to remain important wintering and migratory stopover habitats and sustain wildlife. in fy16, Working with local water agencies and leveraging the power of our Western Rivers Action Network, Audubon helped shape critical water-use policy in Colorado. The policy now protects streams covering 80% of the states watershed by 2030. In New Mexico, Audubon brokered a historic water donation for strictly environmental purposes, deliver 264 million gallons of water to the Middle Rio Grande. 4. Climate: Audubon seeks to create greater demand to change on the climate issue by tapping into people's passion for birds to protect the 314 North American bird species threatened by climate change by caring for the places they need now and in a climate-changed future. in fy16, Staff in Audubon Minnesota and the National Climate Initiative helped create and pass a Minnesota bill to set voluntary standards for solar energy sites that are bird-friendly and planted with native plants to benefit birds and other pollinators. 5. Bird-Friendly Communities: Audubon's network works in America's cities and towns, the places where birds and people intersect the most, to protect and restore bird populations by providing food, shelter, safe passage and places to raise their young. in fy16, Audubon launched a national Plants for Birds native-plants program that seeks to create suitable habitat in backyards, local parks and commercial property to attract and protect birds and other habitat. Our goals include the installation of 5-10 million native plants and at least 500 community-level programs and partnerships. Field Conservation Programs operate Audubon's 23 regional and state offices and combine local policy, science and on the ground conservation efforts to advance Audubon's mission. The Field Conservation Programs also connect the work of Audubon chapters, nature centers, volunteers, partners, and other supporters along each of the four migratory flyways. Through this work, Audubon weaves a seamless web to achieve full lifecycle conservation for both migratory and non-migratory species. Integrated, shared flyway conservation goals enhance our impact, and coordinated resources and expertise increases efficiency across the network. impact, and coordinated resources and expertise increases efficiency across the network. 23594504 1180246 882418 National Conservation Programs focus and align Audubon's unparalleled network to meet today's unprecedented environmental challenges. National Conservation provides strategy, expertise and leadership for Audubon's conservation work and ensures efforts are integrated for maximum effectiveness. National programs include: - Climate Initiative works to protect the places birds need in a warmer world, and advocate for significant public policy changes at the local, state and federal levels. Audubon seeks to create greater demand for change on the climate issue by building sustained grassroots influence among Audubon's bipartisan, 1 million members and supporters. Our work includes action to protect and monitor climate strongholds (places where birds will have the best chance to survive), and influence policies and regulations that reduce greenhouse gases and encourage renewable energy. - Network works to increase the capacity, diversity, connectedness and effectiveness of Audubon's network. Working with Audubon staff in state offices and centers, and our 463 independent chapters, Network develops tools and programs that advance our shared conservation priorities. The goal is to bring Audubon's conservation mission to life in communities through creative and relevant local action that achieves lasting outcomes and builds durable public support for birds and conservation. Audubon nature centers are one of the principle elements of Audubon's network, reaching a million visitors each year. - Science engages in research and analysis to support the development of our conservation strategies, and build our authority as a science-led thought leader. The Science program establishes common metrics to track progress across initiatives and flyways, including biological response of species, and acres of habitat restored, protected or managed. It conducts citizen science bird monitoring and data collection through the Christmas Bird Count and Great Backyard Bird Count, and the Climate Watch program, to gain a unique view on bird trends across the hemisphere to identify and understand threats like climate change. Science's work was at the center of the Climate Initiative launch, based on an analysis of more than 100 years of observations from our citizen scientists that indicated that more than half of America's 314 bird species are in peril from changing climatic conditions. - Policy uses a centrist approach to environmental advocacy that has earned a reputation as a trusted and influential voice. We combine grassroots organizing, advocacy and communication to support large state and multi-state efforts such as: the restoration of large iconic ecosystems, like the Arctic Slope in Alaska, the wetlands of the Everglades, and the Mississippi River Delta; protection of 2,838 Important Bird Areas covering approximately 400 million acres of public and private lands; and safeguarding common sense laws like the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act. - Marketing & Engagement builds the size and effectiveness of Audubons network of supporters and volunteers so that more people take action for birds and the environment. We reach supporters through a variety of channels including www.audubon.org, social media, email marketing, and AUDUBON magazine, which reaches approximately 1.5 million readers. In April 2015, Audubon acquired the assets of digital applications bearing the Audubon branded nature guides. The guides have been downloaded more than 1 million times, and advance Audubons mission of educating people about birds. Hemispheric Strategy works through partner organizations as part of BirdLife International to deliver concrete, on the ground actions that address critical threats to Audubons priority bird species. Audubon provides science, technical expertise, and policy development tools to build the conservation capacities of in-country organizations. Audubon collaborates with international partners in nine countries on conservation work and five more to foster grassroots action on climate change issues. We are the BirdLife International partner for the United States. Diversity and Inclusion is a core value and strategic imperative for Audubon. Achieving our conservation goals requires authentic representation of all the communities we work in to build a brighter future for birds. Audubons diversity and inclusion efforts will broaden our network of supporters and increase our staff diversity, inspiring more people to work to conserve more habitats. Audubon is dedicated to providing a work environment that prioritizes fairness and respect, and a workplace free of any kind of discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, national or ethnic origin, politics or veteran status. 79328981 true true false true false false true true true true true true false false true true false true false false true true false true true false false true true true false false false false false false false false true true false false false true true false false false true 497 0 true 994 true true true false false false false true true false false false true false X 29 29 false false false false true true false true true false true true true true true true true true true false false AL AK AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X SEAN MURPHY 2129793000 225 VARICK STREET New York NY 10014 Jane Alexander Director 8.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Karim Al-Khafaji Director 8.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Peter Alpert Director 8.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Leigh Altadonna Director 8.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Bell Asst.

These policies included meeting with the landowners, site reviews, completion of questionnaires to ensure the landowner compliance, annual inspections, assignment of staff, and board approval of significant items. Form 990, Part II, Line 9 Audubon does not include a footnote in its audited financial statements to describe its accounting for conservation easements. Audubon records the acquisition of easements and sanctuaries at cost when purchased and fair market value when donated. artwork - part III, Line 4 From time to time Audubon receives artwork relevant to our mission, such as drawings and illustrations of birds, and displays such art in various Audubon centers and sanctuaries. In the year ending June 30, 2016, Audubon Received $79,200 in donated artwork, none of which was individually greater than $5,000, and as such, no artwork was capitalized. Funds Held for Others - Part IV Audubon holds approximately $2,724,000 in agency funds for other organizations and independent Audubon chapters and $47,000 in funds held for employees and former employees of Audubon related to a deferred compensation plan to which funds are no longer being contributed. These amounts have been recorded in Part X on the balance sheet. Description of intended use of endowment funds - Part V, line 4 The endowment funds are funds restricted by donors to be held in perpetuity. the board has established budgeted spending limits for specific endowment funds; 2%, 3.5% or 4.5% of the average of the rolling five year market values, subject to limitations where applicable under donor restrictions or regulatory requirements. These funds are used to further Audubon's Mission. Fin 48 - Part X, Line 2 Audubon follows guidance that 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 guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. Audubon is exempt from income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. Audubon has processess 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. the tax years ending june 30, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. Audubon has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positons that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

During the past two years, Audubon has received public funding from the USFWS for work in Panama and Chile, and a significant 3-year project from the inter-american development bank for a regional tourism project covering four countries, The bahamas, belize, Guatemala and Paraguay. Audubon values its close working relationships with our international partners, and makes grants to organizations in support of projects that advance our strategic plan. We believe careful oversight and clear deliverables aid us in building local capacity, and establishing trust to further our support of hemispheric wide conservation projects. All of our grants to foreign entities are based on written contracts that establish specific deliverables and detailed budgets for the expenditure of funds on joint programs of work. We monitor compliance of grant contracts through site visits, written reports, and frequent interaction through calls and emails. Audubon's foreign grants may be in the form of cash and/or equipment. Equipment (other than vehicles) is purchased by Audubon and donated to the recipient organization. Vehicles are purchased locally only after independent quotes are obtained to verify effective use of organizational funds. Form 990, Schedule F, Part IV Audubon invests in domestic and foreign investment vehicles that may own an interest in a foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company, or foreign partnership.
