| Desc | SEE SCHEDULE O TO REALIZE ITS MISSION, THE NATURE CENTER MAINTAINS A NATURAL GREEN OASIS IN THE HEART OF AN URBAN AREA AND OFFERS EXTENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS OF ALL EDUCATIONAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS. THE NATURE CENTER MANAGES TWENTY ACRES OF LAND; MAINTAINS TWO DISTINCT WALKING/HIKING TRAILS, INCLUDING ONE THAT IS FULLY ACCESSIBLE TO VISITORS WITH DISABILITIES; PROTECTS MULTIPLE ANIMAL AND PLANT HABITATS; AND SERVES AS A MODEL FOR GREEN BUILDING PRACTICES. ITS ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS INCLUDE CLASSES, FIELD TRIPS, GUIDED NATURE HIKES AND CAMPS FOR CHILDREN; FAMILY PROGRAMS; AND HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS AND FORUMS ON SUSTAINABILITY TOPICS FOR ADULTS. THE NATURE CENTER HAS LONG BEEN A LEADER IN PROVIDING EXCELLENT ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES. PARTICULARLY WELL- KNOWN FOR ITS EARLY CHILDHOOD CURRICULA FOR HEAD STARTS AND OTHER PRESCHOOLS IN THE AREA, THE NATURE CENTER PROVIDES ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND CAMPS FOR OVER 14,500 CHILDREN PER YEAR IN ITS CLASSROOMS AS WELL AS ON ITS TRAILS, WHICH IS A 33% INCREASE OVER LAST FISCAL YEAR. THE CENTER REGULARLY EVALUATES AND MODIFIES ITS CURRICULA TO ENSURE THAT IT FULLY MEETS ALL OHIO ACADEMIC CONTENT STANDARDS. THIS YEAR THE CENTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ITS FIRST YEAR OF THE APPLIED SCIENCE FOR KIDS (ASK) PROGRAM FOR CLEVELAND METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT, PROVIDING SCIENCE EDUCATION AND UNIQUE FIELD EXPERIENCES FOR 75% OF ALL PRESCHOOL, KINDERGARTEN, AND 1ST GRADE STUDENTS AT THE DISTRICT (OVER 4,000 STUDENTS), AS WELL AS CLASSROOM KITS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR 194 DISTRICT TEACHERS. THE VALUE OF THE NATURE CENTER AT SHAKER LAKES TO THE NORTHEAST OHIO COMMUNITY WAS CLEARLY AFFIRMED THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR THROUGH OUR GROWTH IN EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS, PROGRAMMATIC SERVICES AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. OUR FISCAL STRENGTH WAS ALSO AFFIRMED AS THE NATURE CENTER COMPLETED ANOTHER YEAR WITH A SURPLUS, SUSTAINING A PERIOD OF FINANCIAL STABILITY AND REVENUE GROWTH. -APPROXIMATELY 40,000 VISITORS TO THE NATURE CENTER ENJOYED THE TRAILS, EXHIBIT SPACE, EVENTS AND PROGRAMS. -INDIVIDUAL, FOUNDATION, AND CORPORATE SUPPORT INCREASED BY 7.8% OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. -INCOME FROM PROGRAM FEES SUCH AS SUMMER CAMP INCREASED BY 5% OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. -PARTICIPATION IN FAMILY AND ADULT PROGRAMMING HAD A SLIGHT INCREASE OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. -SPECIAL EVENTS WERE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL. BOTH HIKE & RUN AND THE SUMMER BENEFIT SET RECORDS FOR PARTICIPATION AND REVENUE GENERATION. THE SUMMER BENEFIT WAS A SELL-OUT EVENT FOR THE FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW AND RAISED A RECORD NET OF OVER 126,000 WITH 560 ATTENDEES. -OVER 800 VOLUNTEERS, INTERNS AND SERVICE LEARNING GROUPS PROVIDED MORE THAN 9,500 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE IN LAND MANAGEMENT, EDUCATION, EVENTS AND ADMINISTRATION FOR THE EQUIVALENT OF 4.5 FULL-TIME STAFF MEMBERS, OR APPROXIMATELY 204,000 WORTH OF SERVICE. BY ANY MEASURE, FISCAL YEAR 2014 WAS A SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN FURTHERING OUR MISSION TO CONSERVE A NATURAL AREA, CONNECT PEOPLE WITH NATURE, AND INSPIRE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. | Desc |

| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE MISSION OF THE NATURE CENTER AT SHAKER LAKES IS TO CONSERVE A NATURAL AREA, CONNECT PEOPLE WITH NATURE, AND INSPIRE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. TO MEET THIS MISSION, THE NATURE CENTER ENGAGES IN NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | TO REALIZE ITS MISSION, THE NATURE CENTER MAINTAINS A NATURAL GREEN OASIS IN THE HEART OF AN URBAN AREA AND OFFERS EXTENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS OF ALL EDUCATIONAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS. THE NATURE CENTER MANAGES TWENTY ACRES OF LAND; MAINTAINS TWO DISTINCT WALKING/HIKING TRAILS, INCLUDING ONE THAT IS FULLY ACCESSIBLE TO VISITORS WITH DISABILITIES; PROTECTS MULTIPLE ANIMAL AND PLANT HABITATS; AND SERVES AS A MODEL FOR GREEN BUILDING PRACTICES. ITS ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS INCLUDE CLASSES, FIELD TRIPS, GUIDED NATURE HIKES AND CAMPS FOR CHILDREN; FAMILY PROGRAMS; AND HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS AND FORUMS ON SUSTAINABILITY TOPICS FOR ADULTS. THE NATURE CENTER HAS LONG BEEN A LEADER IN PROVIDING EXCELLENT ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES. PARTICULARLY WELL- KNOWN FOR ITS EARLY CHILDHOOD CURRICULA FOR HEAD STARTS AND OTHER PRESCHOOLS IN THE AREA, THE NATURE CENTER PROVIDES ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND CAMPS FOR OVER 14,500 CHILDREN PER YEAR IN ITS CLASSROOMS AS WELL AS ON ITS TRAILS, WHICH IS A 33% INCREASE OVER LAST FISCAL YEAR. THE CENTER REGULARLY EVALUATES AND MODIFIES ITS CURRICULA TO ENSURE THAT IT FULLY MEETS ALL OHIO ACADEMIC CONTENT STANDARDS. THIS YEAR THE CENTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ITS FIRST YEAR OF THE APPLIED SCIENCE FOR KIDS (ASK) PROGRAM FOR CLEVELAND METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT, PROVIDING SCIENCE EDUCATION AND UNIQUE FIELD EXPERIENCES FOR 75% OF ALL PRESCHOOL, KINDERGARTEN, AND 1ST GRADE STUDENTS AT THE DISTRICT (OVER 4,000 STUDENTS), AS WELL AS CLASSROOM KITS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR 194 DISTRICT TEACHERS. THE VALUE OF THE NATURE CENTER AT SHAKER LAKES TO THE NORTHEAST OHIO COMMUNITY WAS CLEARLY AFFIRMED THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR THROUGH OUR GROWTH IN EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS, PROGRAMMATIC SERVICES AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. OUR FISCAL STRENGTH WAS ALSO AFFIRMED AS THE NATURE CENTER COMPLETED ANOTHER YEAR WITH A SURPLUS, SUSTAINING A PERIOD OF FINANCIAL STABILITY AND REVENUE GROWTH. -APPROXIMATELY 40,000 VISITORS TO THE NATURE CENTER ENJOYED THE TRAILS, EXHIBIT SPACE, EVENTS AND PROGRAMS. -INDIVIDUAL, FOUNDATION, AND CORPORATE SUPPORT INCREASED BY 7.8% OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. -INCOME FROM PROGRAM FEES SUCH AS SUMMER CAMP INCREASED BY 5% OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. -PARTICIPATION IN FAMILY AND ADULT PROGRAMMING HAD A SLIGHT INCREASE OVER THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. -SPECIAL EVENTS WERE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL. BOTH HIKE & RUN AND THE SUMMER BENEFIT SET RECORDS FOR PARTICIPATION AND REVENUE GENERATION. THE SUMMER BENEFIT WAS A SELL-OUT EVENT FOR THE FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW AND RAISED A RECORD NET OF OVER 126,000 WITH 560 ATTENDEES. -OVER 800 VOLUNTEERS, INTERNS AND SERVICE LEARNING GROUPS PROVIDED MORE THAN 9,500 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE IN LAND MANAGEMENT, EDUCATION, EVENTS AND ADMINISTRATION FOR THE EQUIVALENT OF 4.5 FULL-TIME STAFF MEMBERS, OR APPROXIMATELY 204,000 WORTH OF SERVICE. BY ANY MEASURE, FISCAL YEAR 2014 WAS A SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN FURTHERING OUR MISSION TO CONSERVE A NATURAL AREA, CONNECT PEOPLE WITH NATURE, AND INSPIRE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. |
