BY STIMULATING IDEAS AND SHAPING EMERGING FIELDS OF KNOWLEDGE, THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION ISLAND PRESS EMPOWERS DECISION MAKERS FROM THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND NONPROFIT SECTORS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THEY NEED TO MAKE CRITICAL CHOICES ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET. IN 2015, ISLAND PRESS WORKED CLOSELY WITH VOICES FROM ACADEMIA, THE PRIVATE SECTOR, THE ADVOCACY COMMUNITY, GOVERNMENT, AND THE MEDIA. WITH HELP FROM OUR GENEROUS SUPPORTERS, WE ELEVATE THESE VOICES OF CHANGE, SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON CRUCIAL ISSUES, AND FOCUS ATTENTION ON SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS. ISLAND PRESS PUBLISHED 27 NEW TITLES IN 2015, SELLING 190,453 UNITS AND DISTRIBUTING 12,643 COMPLIMENTARY UNITS. AMONG THESE WERE: "BRILLIANT GREEN: THE SURPRISING HISTORY AND SCIENCE OF PLANT INTELLIGENCE" BY BIOLOGIST STEFANO MANCUSO - COMBINING A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE WITH THE LATEST IN PLANT SCIENCE, MANCUSO ARGUES THAT WE UNDERESTIMATE PLANTS. FAR FROM PASSIVE MACHINES, PLANTS ARE INTELLIGENT AND AWARE. THROUGH A SURVEY OF PLANT CAPABILITIES FROM SIGHT AND TOUCH TO COMMUNICATION, MANCUSO CHALLENGES OUR NOTION OF INTELLIGENCE, PRESENTING A VISION OF PLANT LIFE THAT IS MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN MOST IMAGINE-AND SHOWS THAT PLANTS HAVE MUCH TO TEACH US. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR IN "THE GUARDIAN" RECEIVED NEARLY 600 COMMENTS AND 68,000 SHARES. "TACTICAL URBANISM" BY MIKE LYDON AND ANTHONY GARCIA - TACTICAL URBANISM EMPOWERS LOCAL CITIZENS AND POLICYMAKERS TO IMPROVE SAFETY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND HEALTH USING QUICK, INEXPENSIVE PROJECTS. BY SHOWING WHAT IS POSSIBLE, SUCH PROJECTS CAN ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND LEAD TO LONG-TERM CHANGE. ISLAND PRESS ARRANGED FOR MIKE TO MEET WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND CITIZENS AROUND THE COUNTRY TO SHOW HOW TACTICAL URBANISM PROJECTS CAN MAKE CITY STREETS SAFER. "TOMS RIVER: A STORY OF SCIENCE AND SALVATION" BY JOURNALIST DAN FAGIN - "TOMS RIVER" TELLS HOW THE SMALL NEW JERSEY TOWN'S STRUGGLE WITH DECADES OF CHEMICAL POLLUTION AFFECTED THE HEALTH OF THEIR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. IT SHOWS HOW CONCERNED CITIZENS, PUBLIC OFFICIALS, AND SCIENTISTS CAME TOGETHER TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE. THE BOOK WON THE 2014 PULITZER PRIZE FOR GENERAL NONFICTION. WHEN WE PUBLISHED THE PAPERBACK EDITION IN APRIL 2015, OUR GOAL WAS TO BRING THIS STORY TO NEW READERS, ESPECIALLY STUDENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SCIENCE JOURNALISM. ALREADY MORE THAN 600 PROFESSORS ARE REVIEWING THE BOOK FOR USE IN THE CLASSROOM. "START-UP CITY: INSPIRING PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP, GETTING PROJECTS DONE, AND HAVING FUN" BY GABE KLEIN WITH DAVID VEGA-BARACHOWITZ - "START-UP CITY" DEMONSTRATES HOW TO AFFECT BIG, DIRECTIONAL CHANGE IN CITIES-AND FAST. KLEIN'S OBJECTIVE IS TO INSPIRE WHAT HE CALLS "PUBLIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP," A START-UP-PACE ENERGY WITHIN THE PUBLIC SECTOR, BROUGHT ABOUT BY LEVERAGING THE IMMENSE RESOURCES AT ITS DISPOSAL. KLEIN OFFERS GUIDANCE FOR CUTTING THROUGH THE MORASS, AND A ROADMAP FOR GETTING REAL, MEANINGFUL PROJECTS DONE QUICKLY AND HAVING FUN WHILE DOING IT. THIS BOOK IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CHANGE THE WAY WE LIVE IN CITIES WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE GLACIAL PACE OF CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT. 902014 708151 MARKETING, COMMUNICATION, AND DISTRIBUTIONISLAND PRESS DISSEMINATES AND COMMUNICATES INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS THROUGH BOOK PUBLISHING AND SALES, AS WELL AS IN-PERSON AND ONLINE OUTREACH TO AUDIENCES.

IN 2015, WE LAUNCHED THE ISLAND PRESS URBAN RESILIENCE PROJECT, WHICH FOCUSED ON CREATING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT TO INCREASE UNDERSTANDING AND ACTION ON URBAN RESILIENCE. WE PRODUCED 35 ARTICLES REPRESENTING THE WORK OF 28 AUTHORS AND 27 PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THESE ARTICLES COVERED A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICAL ISSUES - ENERGY, FOOD, SOCIAL JUSTICE, CLIMATE CHANGE, URBAN PLANNING, AND MORE. OUR CONTENT WAS PUBLISHED IN 17 OUTLETS WITH A COMBINED REACH OF MORE THAN 213 MILLION VIEWS - INCLUDING "THE HUFFINGTON POST", "GRIST", "THE HILL", "SALON", AND "GOVERNING". OUR ARTICLES GENERATED OVER 14,000 ENGAGEMENTS ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA (FACEBOOK, TWITTER, TUMBLR, PINTEREST, GOOGLE +, LINKEDIN) AND MORE THAN 1,200 READER COMMENTS. THIS WORK WAS SHARED BY MANY WELL-KNOWN ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING GREENPEACE, WORLDWATCH INSTITUTE, SIERRA CLUB, ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION, US CLIMATE ACTION NETWORK, POST CARBON INSTITUTE, NEXTGEN CLIMATE, AMERICAN RIVERS, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HOME BUILDERS, AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS, NAACP, AND THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS. 808570 15000 PROGRAM SERVICES/TECHNICAL ASSISTANCECONSERVATION FINANCE NETWORKACROSS THE COUNTRY, INTEREST IN USING COMMERCIAL, INVESTOR-DRIVEN TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR CONSERVATION IS GROWING RAPIDLY. WHILE A NUMBER OF CONSERVATION FINANCE DEALS HAVE GENERATED FINANCIAL AS WELL AS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RETURNS, THIS FIELD IS NOT YET WIDELY RECOGNIZED. THE CONSERVATION FINANCE NETWORK (CFN) AT ISLAND PRESS IS WORKING TO CHANGE THAT. CFN ADVANCES LAND AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION BY EXPANDING THE USE OF INNOVATIVE FUNDING AND FINANCING STRATEGIES. BY TRAINING, CONVENING, AND SUPPORTING A GROWING NETWORK OF PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND NONPROFIT PROFESSIONALS, CFN HELPS TO INCREASE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES DEPLOYED FOR CONSERVATION.CFN HOSTS ANNUAL "BOOT CAMPS," INTENSIVE TRAININGS ON INNOVATIVE FINANCE TECHNIQUES FOR CONSERVATION PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING THE 9TH ANNUAL CONSERVATION FINANCE BOOT CAMP HELD JUNE 1-5, 2015, AT THE YALE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES. IN 2015, CFN ALSO COLLABORATED ON A CONSERVATION IMPACT INVESTMENT CONFERENCE HELD IN NEW YORK CITY IN JANUARY. THE CONFERENCE BROUGHT TOGETHER OVER 150 INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS, FUND MANAGERS, FOUNDATION PROFESSIONALS, AND FEDERAL AGENCY LEADERS TO FIND WAYS TO MAINSTREAM AND GROW THE FIELD OF CONSERVATION FINANCE. CFN ALSO LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR A NEW SERIES OF CONVENINGS, THE CONSERVATION FINANCE PRACTITIONER ROUNDTABLE, FUNDED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION SERVICE. THIS SERIES OF MEETINGS WILL BRING TOGETHER AN EXPERT COHORT OF PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND PHILANTHROPIC PRACTITIONERS TO ADVANCE THE CONTRIBUTION OF INVESTMENT CAPITAL TO WORKING LANDS CONSERVATION OUTCOMES.BUILDING CAPACITY THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS IN 2015, WE EMPHASIZED MORE DIRECT WORK WITH PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS AND OTHER PARTNERS TO BETTER DISSEMINATE OUR CONTENT TO THEIR MEMBERS AND BUILD THE CAPACITY OF PROFESSIONALS TO TACKLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES. ONE WAY WE PARTNER FOR OUTREACH IS THROUGH OUR COLLABORATION WITH THE SECURITY AND SUSTAINABILITY FORUM (SSF), AN ONLINE LEARNING ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON CLIMATE SECURITY. THE FORUM REACHES POLICYMAKERS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, ACADEMICS, AND INDUSTRY AND NON-PROFIT PROFESSIONALS, WHICH ALIGNS WELL WITH ISLAND PRESS' OWN TARGET AUDIENCE. THE WEBINARS REACH 15,000 PEOPLE THROUGH SSF'S NETWORK OF PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. OUR CONTINUING EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP WITH THE U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL LAUNCHED IN 2014 AND HAS GROWN INTO A STRONG EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATION. WE HAVE DEVELOPED SEVEN ONLINE COURSES ON SUSTAINABLE CITIES EXCLUSIVELY FOR THEIR NETWORK OF NEARLY 200,000 LEED PROFESSIONALS, DELIVERING ALMOST 8,000 HOURS OF EDUCATIONAL CONTENT TO 19,000 UNIQUE USERS. PROGRAMS LIKE THESE MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE BY REACHING PROFESSIONALS WHO CAN INTEGRATE NEW IDEAS AND TESTED SOLUTIONS INTO THEIR WORK. ISLAND PRESS IS INCREASING OUR EFFORTS TO EXPAND THE NUMBER AND TYPES OF PARTNERS WE HAVE THAT CAN LINK US DIRECTLY WITH THE AUDIENCES WE SERVE. OUR COURSES ARE CONSISTENTLY AMONG THE MOST COMPLETED AND MOST HIGHLY-RATED ON THE PLATFORM. EACH OF THESE ACTIVITIES ADVANCES OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE THE BEST IDEAS AND INFORMATION TO THOSE SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND CREATE SOLUTIONS TO ITS COMPLEX PROBLEMS. 3636278 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 373 0 1 35 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X THE ORGANIZATION 2022327933 2000 M STREET NW SUITE 650 WASHINGTON DC 20036 CHARLES C SAVITT PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 197133 0 11853 BILL MEADOWS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA SHACKLETON DANN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA A HOOK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RON SIMS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TERRY GAMBLE BOYER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARGO ERNST DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY EVERETT TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KATIE DOLAN CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHEN BADGER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MERLOYD LUDINGTON LAWRENCE SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAMELA MURPHY VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DECKER ANSTROM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH SLUSSER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAULA DANIELS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISON GREENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY JAMES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISON SANT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBORAH WILEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEN HARTZELL VP & CFO 40.00 X 146823 0 7469 JULIE FILLLERUP VP SALES & MARKETING 40.00 X 93321 0 826 DAVID MILLER SVP & PUBLISHER 40.00 X 150745 0 10615 MEREDITH HARKEL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR 40.00 X 75146 0 4631 663168 0 35394 3 0 1 0 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS 1130 S LANGLEY AVENUE CHICAGO IL 60628 FULFILLMENT SERVICES 362792 THOMSON-SHORE INC 7300 WEST JOY ROAD DEXTER MI 481309701 PRINTING & BINDING & FREIGHT 262998 WALSWORTH PUBLISHING COMPANY 7300 WEST JOY ROAD DEXTER MI 481309701 PRINTING & BINDING & FREIGHT 150888 3 1262367 1262367 BOOK SALES 511130 2212972 2212972 2212972 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 9004 9004 9004 3484343 2212972 0 9004 X 15000 15000 698562 318203 185640 194719 1203627 919556 211761 72310 72563 61652 1542 9369 148804 105651 14880 28273 506743 444760 50596 11387 54996 24835 21694 8467 275749 197974 30694 47081 183816 137467 11739 34610 11466 8274 1491 1701 62428 45433 7935 9060 COST OF BOOKS SOLD 1067222 1067222 PROMOTIONS 304237 286902 7555 9780 SALES TAX AND FEES/DUES 2182 1914 140 128 BAD DEBT EXPENSE 1435 1435 4608830 3636278 545667 426885 600 600 1926286 1893602 1831500 953008 550698 514346 1263684 1080583 163227 151969 107268 55797 51562 51471 307214 283518 6094771 4929097 413439 341626 260263 290889 673702 632515 X 2830465 2496442 2590604 1800140 5421069 4296582 6094771 4929097 -1124487 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1485630 2032530 2442724 4012748 1262367 11235999 2748868 2766503 2538499 2446945 2212972 12713787 4234498 4799033 4981223 6459693 3475339 23949786 499500 459700 1681350 3310879 632415 6583844 1061992 1018531 1028469 826259 302652 4237903 1561492 1478231 2709819 4137138 935067 10821747 13128039 1295 7585 7203 2691 0 18774 1295 7585 7203 2691 18774 6584 24589 3938 13804 9004 57919 4242377 4831207 4992364 6476188 3484343 24026479 0.54640 0.47600 0.00080 0.00080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 24416 8138 16278 59419 32826 26593 23433 14833 8600 51471 PREPUBLICATION COSTS 49059 ROYALTY ADVANCES, NET 234459 283518 ROYALTIES PAYABLE 163200 DEFERRED RENT 127689 290889 X 3484343 0 3484343 0 3484343 4608830 0 4608830 0 4608830 PART X, LINE 2: UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN THE CENTER'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS ACCOUNTED FOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE FASB.
