The workshops are one-day in length and NEED provides participating educators with substitute reimbursement, classroom curriculum materials, and professional development credits. In any given year, NEED hosts approximately 600 workshops in diverse geographic areas. There are some special topic workshops that include content specific to certain energy issues - i.e. solar, wind, oil and natural gas, efficiency and conservation. All curriculum taught and provided at the workshops is aligned to the National Science Education Standards and to state standards as well. Additional teacher professional development opportunities (weeklong conferences) are held during the summer. 983292 Kits and Materials: NEED's mission is to design and deliver comprehensive energy education curriculum. All NEED curriculums is updated with new data, technologies, and issues on an annual basis. NEED's hands-on approach to energy education requires that educators be provided the tools and resources needed in the classroom. This often means the provision of hands-on science equipment and tools. NEED's Teacher Advisory Board and Curriculum Committee create kits for multiple grade levels and for multiple content areas. These kits are integrated with the printed NEED curriculum and are provided to educators attending NEED workshops. NEED curriculum materials are designed at four reading levels - primary, elementary, intermediate, and secondary. Each guide contains a teacher guide and student lessons for the energy units. The entire NEED portfolio is available free of charge online at www.need.org. 847107 Program Administration: NEED's mission is to design and deliver comprehensive energy education curriculum and training. As part of this effort, NEED establishes and administers many signature programs for agencies, companies and organizations. Most of these programs including the curriculum, training workshops, and kits mentioned throughout NEED's federal Form 990, but these programs also include turn-key staff support of local schools - providing classroom visits, local community support for programming, in-class teaching opportunities, teacher support and classroom trouble-shooting, design and delivery of websites to support programmatic goals, and overall administration of the energy education programs NEED has underway each year. In addition, NEED has developed strong grant-making capability and administers a number of grant programs thanks to the support of several donors. All of these grant programs have a rubric, independent reviewers and NEED both administers the recruitment/marketing phase of the grants, but also the online application, selection, and actual payment of the grant to the individual school. 621139 Curriculum Development 432272 3000 Youth Awards Program 332376 Training Conferences 101113 Program Development 1486900 3000 6287906 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 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 0 1 49 0 1 21 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Mary E Spruill 7032571117 8408 Kao Circle Manassas VA 201101702 Richard R Zuercher 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Diane Lear 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Wendy Wiedenbeck 2.00 X X 0 0 0 John Weiner 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Constance Beatty 2.00 X 0 0 0 Guy Caruso 2.00 X 0 0 0 Philip Cochrane 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kristi Des Jarlais 2.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Downey 2.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Fry 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Galligan 2.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Lung 2.00 X 0 0 0 Randall Luthi 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Marks 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kristi Monk 2.00 X 0 0 0 Barry Russell 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mary E Spruill 40.00 X X 161709 0 9801 161709 0 9801 1 0 1 0 Foundation for Environmental Education PO Box 340581 Columbus OH 43234 Solar Installation 405810 Nada Scientific Ltd PO Box 1336 Champlin NY 12919 Kit Parts 296507 Better Impressions 45159 Business Court Suite 450 Sterling VA 20166 Printing 271296 Niagara Compensation 45 Horsehill Rd Suite 106 Cedar Knolls NJ 07927 Custom Energy Kits 183706 UPS PO Box 650580 Dallas TX 75265 Shipping 158430 5 223714 6137029 13112 6360743 Confer. & youth awards 900099 244706 244706 244706 21297 21297 509640 509640 0 Other income 900099 6294 6294 6294 6633040 244706 0 27591 998905 998905 171510 168080 3430 1316987 1272225 16960 27802 23901 20053 3848 76460 61168 15292 273611 260932 6988 5691 375 375 516731 376259 119386 21086 98463 56073 42390 884896 874631 906 9359 839670 839670 3086 2947 77 62 11451 10934 285 232 Kit purchases 644840 644840 Substitute pay 200985 200985 Curriculum purchases 192524 192524 Youth awards 150190 150190 164037 157115 3314 3608 6568622 6287906 212876 67840 82834 54592 2069139 1908416 904938 893734 317201 264054 125670 125670 3086 0 343872 2189 2189 3379387 3466857 145908 202239 43107 3764 13592 192779 215831 X 1388779 1162734 1797829 2088292 3186608 3251026 3379387 3466857 64418 0 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 5252242 4857959 6869576 4642866 6360743 27983386 5252242 4857959 6869576 4642866 6360743 27983386 14320409 13662977 5597 14995 4943 10697 21297 57529 13741 20833 14637 6294 55505 28096420 3502016 0.48630 0.53860 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 79694 79694 0 45976 45976 0 0 Certificates of deposit 343872 F 343872 Deferred rent 13592 13592 6633040 6568622 64418 64418 7149930 7250 509640 516890 6633040 0 6633040 7085512 7250 509640 516890 6568622 0 6568622 Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X: NEED performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2011, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status.

The rubric includes evaluation on the following items: energy content (related to the subject grant), goal setting and evaluation techniques, community involvement and partnerships, student leadership, and intended outcomes. In addition, all grants are evaluated based on the functionality and applicability of the proposed budget as aligned to the proposed project. Does the budget proposed provide adequate support for the program proposed? Are all budget requests germane to the proposed program? Grants are also evaluated based on criteria established for each program - including public vs. private schools, grade level, subject matter of the proposed grant application, geographic footprint of the grant program, and grant timeline. Each grant is reviewed by two or more reviewers selected from subject matter and grant professionals within NEED's network. Scores are tabulated, the extent to which the grant meets established and published criteria is reviewed, and grantees are notified of the success of the proposal. Grant recipients submit W-9 forms to NEED and are given one year to complete the program. Upon completion, the project report is delivered to NEED and includes information such as final budget details, narrative success of the project and examples of student work as appropriate.

Revisions as needed are made by Raffa, P.C. and a final draft is delivered to the Executive Director for full Board of Directors review. Any additional revisions are made by Raffa, P.C., then the Form 990 is filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The NEED Board of Directors is small and interactions and activities are easily and regularly monitored. At least once per year, the policy is reviewed by the Board of Directors and new Conflict of Interest forms are completed and returned to NEED. In addition, NEED has a Conflict of Interest Policy for staff. Disclosures are made annually. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The NEED Board of Directors annually reviews the compensation for the Executive Director and considers all aspects of the position requirements, success based on an annually agreed upon set of goals and action items, and the overall financial health of NEED. In 2010, the Board of Directors asked a Board Member Committee to undertake a review of the Executive Director's salary to determine comparability in the regional area, comparability within range of position requirements, and to remain competitive in retaining the current skill set and organizational memory. The Board of Directors, acting independently from all NEED staff including the Executive Director, consulted consistently cited salary surveys including those from the American Society of Association Executives, BoardSource, and the Washington Council of Agencies. In addition, the Board of Directors reviewed a similar salary survey done for a partner non-profit in 2009. Annually, the Executive Committee reviews the performance of the Executive Director, sets a percentage of salary increase, and a possible percentage derived bonus should NEED's organizational performance and fiscal health warrant it. NEED's Executive Committee shares its recommendation with the Board of Directors immediately following the Executive Committee's discussion at the annual December Board Meeting. The Board of Directors then approves the decision. The Executive Committee issues the review of performance and the upcoming year's salary to the Executive Director and Accounting Manager for filing and action. The Executive Directors salary is reaffirmed annually per the by-laws at the Spring Board of Directors Meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 NEED makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public on request. Also, a section of the need.org site is set aside for the audited financial statements, Form 990 and annual report.
