| Desc | STUDENT PROGRAMS: HEART'S HUMANE LIVING PROGRAM IS A FLEXIBLE HUMANE EDUCATION CURRICULUM THAT COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF HUMAN RIGHTS, ANIMAL PROTECTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION ISSUES. WE OFFER THE HUMANE LIVING PROGRAM TO STUDENTS IN K-12 IN FOUR AGE-APPROPRIATE VERSIONS: K-2ND GRADE; 3RD-5TH GRADE; MIDDLE SCHOOL; AND HIGH SCHOOL. HEART'S SPECIALLY TRAINED EDUCATORS TEACH THESE LESSONS IN A FORMAT THAT IS ADAPTED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND STUDENT POPULATIONS. IN 2015, HEART REACHED MORE THAN 5,300 STUDENTS IN THE NEW YORK CITY, CHICAGO, INDIANAPOLIS AND PORTLAND (OREGON) AREAS. WE OFFERED MULTI-LESSON IN-CLASS PROGRAMS AT OVER 50 PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WE ALSO FACILITATED MANY EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PROJECTS, WHERE STUDENTS PUT THEIR VALUES INTO ACTION THROUGH OUR SERVICE LEARNING CURRICULUM CONDUCTED IN BOTH SCHOOL-BASED AND AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS. IN ADDITION, WE CONDUCTED CUSTOMIZED SUMMER CAMPS: A 1-WEEK "HAVE A HEART CAMP" AT ANIMAL HAVEN SHELTER IN MANHATTAN; A 3-WEEK SUMMER PROGRAM WITH THE ACADEMY FOR GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP IN CHICAGO, AND A 2-WEEK "CLIMATE CHANGE CAMP" IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PEACE LEARNING CENTER IN INDIANAPOLIS. | Desc |

| Desc | TEACHER TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: HEART REACHED COUNTLESS TEACHERS AND FUTURE EDUCATORS THROUGH NUMEROUS WORKSHOPS. ONE OF OUR MAJOR TEACHER TRAINING PROJECTS WAS A CREDIT-BEARING 36-HOUR HUMANE EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSE WE CONDUCTED FOR SCHOOLTEACHERS THROUGH THE NYC DOE THAT QUALIFIED THEM TOWARD A SALARY DIFFERENTIAL. THIS COURSE HAD THE RIGOR OF A GRADUATE LEVEL COURSE AND WAS OFFERED ONLINE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2015. ANOTHER MAJOR TRAINING INITIATIVE IN 2015 WAS THE LAUNCH OF OUR HEART-CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR PROGRAM. WE DEVELOPED A RIGOROUS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM AND EXPANDED OUR GEOGRAPHIC REACH TO FL, WA AND CA WHERE OUR CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS ARE TEACHING PART-TIME FOR HEART. WE ALSO EXTENDED OUR NATIONAL REACH THROUGH TEACHER TRAINING WITH THE LAUNCH LAST YEAR OF OUR FREE WEBINAR SERIES IN WHICH WE TRAIN PARTICIPANTS TO TEACH HUMANE EDUCATION. THROUGH VARIOUS PARTNERSHIPS WE TRAINED VOLUNTEER TEACHERS, ATTORNEYS, LAW STUDENTS, ANIMAL ACTIVISTS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS TO CONDUCT LESSONS AT SCHOOLS AND IN OUT-OF-SCHOOL VENUES LIKE LIBRARIES AND COMMUNITY CENTERS. WE EXPANDED OUR PUBLIC SERVICE PROJECT WITH THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION TO MICHIGAN TO TRAIN ATTORNEYS AND LAW STUDENTS TO TEACH ANIMAL PROTECTION LESSONS TO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS. WE OFFERED A WORKSHOP FOR CHICAGO AREA LAW STUDENTS TO GUIDE THEM IN TEACHING OUR LESSONS AND ADVOCATING FOR HUMANE EDUCATION LAWS. WE PARTNERED WITH THE ANIMAL PROTECTORATES IN LOS ANGELES TO TRAIN A NETWORK OF 40 VOLUNTEERS TO TEACH HUMANE EDUCATION. WE TEAMED UP WITH TRIBES LEARNING COMMUNITY TO ADD A HUMANE EDUCATION COMPONENT TO ITS EXISTING 24 HOUR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING TRAINING AND PILOTED THIS PROGRAM IN INDIANAPOLIS. WE OFFERED A HUMANE EDUCATION WORKSHOP THROUGH THE UNITED FEDERATION OF TEACHERS HUMANE EDUCATION COMMITTEE TO SHOW TEACHERS HOW TO IMPLEMENT SELECTED LESSONS FROM OUR HUMANE EDUCATION RESOURCE GUIDE. WE PARTNERED INTERNATIONALLY AS WELL WITH UNIVERSIDAD COOPERATIVA, A LAW SCHOOL IN COLOMBIA, TO CONDUCT A 3-DAY TRAINING WEBINAR FOR LAW STUDENTS TO TEACH ANIMAL WELFARE LESSONS IN HIGH SCHOOLS. | Desc |

| Desc | RESOURCE AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT: HEART WORKED ON DEVELOPING NUMEROUS RESOURCES IN THE PAST YEAR. WE DISTRIBUTED OUR EXTENSIVE 160 PAGE RESOURCE GUIDE OF 40 LESSONS AND ACTIVITIES FOR BOTH SEASONED AND LESS EXPERIENCED EDUCATORS TO IMPLEMENT IN K-12 PROGRAMS IN SCHOOLS AND NON-TRADITIONAL VENUES. MANY OF THE LESSONS IN THIS GUIDE WERE ALSO TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH FOR USE BY PARTICIPANTS WE TRAINED IN COLOMBIA. WE PROVIDED SPECIALIZED CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT FOR SCHOOLS AND NON-PROFIT AGENCIES TO EXPAND THE HUMANE LIVING PROGRAM TO MEET SPECIFIC NEEDS. WE WORKED WITH ANIMAL HAVEN SHELTER TO DEVELOP A NEW SUMMER CAMP FOR 5-8 YEAR OLD CHILDREN EMPHASIZING EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND SERVICE PROJECTS. WE ALSO DEVELOPED A THIRD 10-LESSON UPPER ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM FOCUSED ON EMPATHY, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL ASSEMBLY, LIBRARY AND CAMP PROGRAMMING. WE PROVIDED RESOURCE SUPPORT ON THE ANIMAL WELFARE THEME FOR THE GAMES FOR CHANGE STUDENT CHALLENGE WHERE PUBLIC NYC MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN A DIGITAL GAME THAT ADDRESSES THE CAT AND DOG OVERPOPULATION CRISIS. WE ALSO ADDED RESOURCES ON OUR WEBSITE, INCLUDING OUR HUMANE RESOURCE GUIDE, A HUMANE BOOKLIST REVIEW, AND A LIBRARY OF ARCHIVED HEART WEBINARS AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD.

| Desc | RAISING AWARENESS FOR HUMANE EDUCATION: HEART WORKS TO PROMOTE THE VALUE OF HUMANE EDUCATION AND TO ARGUE FOR THE ADHERENCE TO EXISTING HUMANE EDUCATION STATE MANDATES, PARTICULARLY IN NEW YORK STATE.

| FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 | HEART'S HUMANE EDUCATION PROGRAMS CULTIVATE COMPASSION AND RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE, ANIMALS AND THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES. HEART HAS SPECIALLY DESIGNED AGE-APPROPRIATE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS TAUGHT BY ITS OWN STAFF OF HUMANE EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS. HUMANE EDUCATION IS REQUIRED BY STATE MANDATE TO BE TAUGHT IN ALL PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK WITH A LOSS OF PUBLIC FUNDING FOR NON-COMPLIANCE. IN REALITY, FEW TEACHERS OR ADMINISTRATORS ARE EVEN AWARE OF THE LAW AND HEART IS ONE OF THE FEW ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDING CRITICAL HUMANE EDUCATION SERVICES. IN 2015 THERE WAS A CONTINUED FOCUS ON INCORPORATING SERVICE LEARNING INTO ALL ASPECTS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRAMMING, INCLUDING BOTH THE IN-CLASS PROGRAM AND THE AFTER-SCHOOL AND OUT OF SCHOOL PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, HEART ALSO RAN SUMMER CAMPS IN NEW YORK CITY, CHICAGO, AND INDIANAPOLIS. THIS PAST YEAR WE CONTINUED TO EXPAND OUR TEACHER TRAINING EFFORTS. WE LAUNCHED TWO MAJOR INITIATIVES LAST YEAR: OUR NEW HUMANE EDUCATION WEBINAR SERIES AND OUR RIGOROUS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR HUMANE EDUCATORS. WE AGAIN CO-SPONSORED A 36 HOUR CREDIT-BEARING HUMANE EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSE FOR SCHOOLTEACHERS THROUGH THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. WE CONTINUED OUR PUBLIC SERVICE PROJECT WITH THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION BY TRAINING VOLUNTEER ATTORNEYS AND LAW SCHOOL STUDENTS TO TEACH OUR LESSONS IN LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. WE TEAMED UP WITH TRIBES LEARNING COMMUNITY TO ADD A HUMANE EDUCATION COMPONENT TO ITS EXISTING SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING TRAINING. WE OFFERED A HUMANE EDUCATION WORKSHOP THROUGH THE UNITED FEDERATION OF TEACHERS HUMANE EDUCATION COMMITTEE TO SHOW TEACHERS HOW TO IMPLEMENT LESSONS FROM OUR HUMANE EDUCATION RESOURCE GUIDE. WE PARTNERED WITH VARIOUS NON-PROFITS AND AGENCIES TO TRAIN NETWORKS OF VOLUNTEERS TO TEACH HUMANE EDUCATION. HEART CONTINUED TO EXPAND ITS NATIONAL REACH IN 2015 THROUGH OUR OFFICES IN CHICAGO, INDIANAPOLIS AND PORTLAND OREGON, OUR NATIONAL TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS THE DISTRIBUTION OF OUR RESOURCE MATERIALS, INCLUDING OUR HUMANE EDUCATION RESOURCE GUIDE PUBLISHED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ASPCA AND THE INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR ANIMAL WELFARE. HEART IS CONTINUING TO WORK TO FORM A NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORK THAT CAN LEVERAGE OUR EXTENSIVE CURRICULUM THAT INCLUDES OVER 180 LESSONS AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF OUR STAFF NOW LOCATED IN 8 CITIES. |
