Expert care of these ambassadors is a time-honored tradition at CZS, where innovations in husbandry techniques and pioneering breeding programs are part of the cuttting edge culture of excellence. Staff in the CSAW integrate disciplines such as endocrinology, population biology, behavioral science, nutrition and veterinary science to determine the best ways to provide and continuously care for the animals. They also incorporate models and practices from around the world, and from an array of animal care professionals, to develop the best possible zoo-based animal care and management practices. 10435000 Care of Buildings and Grounds The CZS maintains over 214 acres of land and 72 buildings to exhibit over 2,500 animals. Guests see examples of our environmentally sound policies throughout the Zoo grounds including energy efficient cooling systems, plentiful recycling containers and clean burning natural gas vehicles. 8535000 6806897 Visitor Services Brookfield Zoo served over 2.1 million visitors in 2013, providing them with transportation, shops and restaurants. In addition to motorized, narrated educational tours throughout the park, the Zoo offers strollers, wheelchairs, wagons, etc. to help visitors have a more enjoyable visit. The shops make available goods which promote an interest in and understanding of the natural world and an awareness of how people around the world co-exist with the animals and the ecosystems where they live, and how choices made by humans impact the animals and the environment. The restaurants allow our visitors to stay in the park for lunch and expand the time they can enjoy the park. Visitor Services works closely with educators and designers to develop food packaging programs and select products which convey education and conservation related messages. Visitor Services also provides opportunities for families, businesses, senior groups, social clubs, etc. to hold special outings at the park where they receive admission, special tours and interaction with zoo staff. 22392000 242091 9260769 57016641 true true false true false true false true true true true false false false true true true false false true true true true true true true false true

false false true 95537 false false 95537 false II-B 1A-J The Chicago Zoological Society is a private non profit organization that operates Brookfield Zoo on land owned by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. Brookfield Zoo was created through an act of the Illinois Legislature and the Society annually receives partial funding from Cook County to maintain and operate the Zoo. Occasionally, the laws and regulations under which the Society was organized and is funded and operated require updating. The Society may advise and assist appropriate legislative bodies in this activity. It may also advocate the adoption or rejection of legislation. By virtue of a management agreement with the District, the Society is periodically called upon to advise on matters of public policy. The Society also employs certain staff and consultants to communicate with the State of Illinois, federal officials, county commissioners and other government officials, to inform those parties of the activities of the Society. Additionally, as required during the year, the Societys President and designated staff attend national and international professional group meetings and otherwise communicate with those groups on various matters, including the expression of opinions to appropriate congressional representatives, congressional committees or other deliberative bodies that influence public policy concerning species in danger of extinction, environmental management, the biological sciences and kindred subject, and federal regulatory agency activities affecting wildlife and its management. Also, as needed from time to time, the Society may contact its members, staff and volunteers to encourage them to express their views on pending legislation that may have a direct impact on the Society and its conservation programs. 2 349029 252778 2105377 false false X X X X false false true X 17011000 345000 2120000 776000 37000 18663000 15199000 316000 2193000 664000 33000 17011000 15750000 325000 -390000 454000 32000 15199000 14012000 412000 2092000 689000 77000 15750000 11708000 344000 2586000 521000 105000 14012000 0.28000 0.40000 0.32000 true false 237394783 106783379 130611404 7235501 5356295 1879206 1242776 1242776 133733386 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes Accrued Post Retirement Benefit Obligation 3871924 Accrued Sick Pay Benefit Obligation 1795083 Charitable Gift Annuity Obligation 361732 Market Value of Swap Agreements 1792310 Other 108995 7930044 X 77929000 871217 86269 957486 76971514 20421 -4321797 -4301376 72670138 69401000 86269 3387714 3473983 65927017 20421 20421 65947438 I 5 and 6 The Society does not maintain any donor advised funds. Other Funds consist of the Chicago Board of Trade Endangered Species Fund and the CZS Womens Board Fund. Contributions to these funds come from donors as well as proceeds from fundraising events and investment income. Grants are decided by committees as described in Schedule I. At times, donors who have given money to the fund may also sit on the granting committee but no one donor may decide on the grant awards. All grants awarded must follow the guidelines and processes established by CZS. CZS Board of Trustees has final approval of all Chicago Board of Trade Endangered Species Fund Committee recommended grant awards. CZS Management has final approval of all CZS Womens Board recommended grant awards. III 1A Animal Collections, which were acquired through breeding loans, purchases and contributions, are not recognized as assets on the Statement of Financial Position. Costs to acquire collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the animals are acquired. Proceeds from deaccessions are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset class. The Societys animal collection consists of specimens with numerous attributes including taxonomic group, age, sex, relationship and value to other animals, endangered status and breeding potential. The Society retains a record of every animal in a permanent file. An inventory of the collection is prepared annually. Professionally trained keeper staff and population managers provide daily care for the collection and determine population needs. III 4 The more than 2500 ambassadors of the animal kingdom which make up the CZS collection provide our visitors a rare opportunity to see species from around the globe. The collection, in connection with our education programs, provides CZS the opportunity to teach guests about animals and nature, conservation and other related topics. V 4 The Societys endowment consists of 11 different funds established to support a variety of CZS programs including conservation and research, education and outreach, care of the animal collection and grounds, and general operations. Additionally, the Society is the designated beneficiary of the interest income on a 1 million endowment established and maintained by the Chicago Community Trust. The CCT maintains variance power over this endowment and, accordingly, the Society has not included it in its financial statements. VI 1A-E The Society operates a zoological park on land owned by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, IL which is provided to the Society at no charge. The land site of the Zoo, accordingly, is not recorded on the Societys financial statements. All park improvements acquired by the Society are legally owned by the District. All park improvements acquired by the Society, including those acquired with District funds, are recorded as park improvements on the Societys financial statements. The amount in Other represents construction in progress on capital assets. Once a capital asset is complete and in use, the total amount for that project is closed out of construction in progress and transferred to park improvements. X 2 The Societys application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America GAAP regarding uncertain tax positions had no effect on its financial position as management believes the Society has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit status. The Society would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense. The Society is no longer subject to examination by federal, state, or local tax authorities for periods before 2010.

The funds are tracked separately on CZSs books as an offsetting asset and liability. Funds expended from these accounts are subject to the same policies as other CZS expenses. If the Chair of the group changes or moves to another institution, the funds are transferred to that institution. true Central America and the Caribbean grants to recipient for fieldwork in region 4820 Central America and the Caribbean program services conservation research fieldwork 2685 East Asia and the Pacific program services attend conservation related conferences 7291 East Asia and the Pacific grants to recipients for fieldwork in region 5000 Europe program services attend conservation related conferences 2276 Europe grants to recipients for fieldwork in region 10000 Europe program services memberships in conservation related organizations 12597 North America program services attend conservation related conferences 2270 North America grants given to recipients for fieldwork in region 4100 South America fundraising observe conservation fieldwork 13867 South America 1 program services conservation research fieldwork 50362 South America program services membership in conservation related organization 1000 South America program services attend conservation related conferences 2014 South America grants given to recipients for fieldwork in region 30975 South Asia grants given to recipients for fieldwork in region 7920 Sub-Saharan Africa fundraising observe conservation fieldwork 28302 Sub-Saharan Africa program services conservation education fieldwork 1313 Sub-Saharan Africa program services conservation research fieldwork 686 Sub-Saharan Africa grants given to recipients for fieldwork in region 39665 1 1 186792 40351 227143 Europe spt for conservation organization 10000 wire transfer Sub-Saharan Africa conservation research fieldwork 20000 wire transfer South America conservation research fieldwork 10000 check 3 conservation research fieldwork South America 1 1500 wire transfer conservation research fieldwork Central America and the Caribbean 1 4820 wire transfer false false false false false false Part I Line 2 The Society awards grants through its Chicago Board of Trade Endangered Species Fund CBT ESF.

Status reports are required from recipients 6 months after the receipt of the funds. Final reports are due 1 year after the receipt of the funds along with a final accounting of the grant funds expended. In addition, other grant funds are given by the Society to major, internationally known conservation organizations in support of their general conservation mission. These contributions are determined by Society management They are approved by the Board either as part of the annual operating budget process or as part of a periodic spending authorization from the Societys Board Designated Conservation Fund.
