OUR MISSION IS FULFILLED THROUGH EXHIBITS, AND EDUCATION, CONSERVATION, AND RESEARCH PROGRAMS. 0 0 19792950 22793751 EXHIBITION - THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES A PUBLIC AQUARIUM IN THE CITY OF BOSTON AND CHARGES ADMISSION TO GUESTS VISITING CENTRAL WHARF AND ITS OTHER FACILITIES TO ENGAGE AND EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORLD OF WATER, AQUATIC LIFE AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO A HEALTHY AND VIBRANT ENVIRONMENT. OUR EXHIBITS INSTIL A SENSE OF WONDER AT THE BEAUTY OF THE OCEAN AND PROVIDE A GLIMPSE OF LIFE BELOW ITS SURFACE. WHEN OPENED IN 1969, THE AQUARIUM PROVIDED A REVOLUTIONARY WAY TO VIEW AQUATIC ANIMALS, AND WE REMAIN A LEADER TODAY IN EXHIBITS, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY AND VISITOR ENGAGEMENT. WE WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO DISPLAY HABITATS AND ECOSYSTEMS RATHER THAN ISOLATED SPECIES. WE WERE THE FIRST AQUARIUM TO INVITE VISITORS TO HANDLE LIVE ANIMALS IN THE EDGE OF THE SEA TIDEPOOL TOUCH TANK AND WE CONTINUE TO ADD MORE TOUCH EXPERIENCES TO ENHANCE THE VISITORS' EXPERIENCE. DURING 2010, WE BUILT-OUT LEASED SPACE AT AN OFF-SITE LOCATION TO FUNCTION AS AN ANIMAL CARE CENTER. THIS CENTER ALLOWS THE AQUARIUM TO BETTER CARE FOR AQUATIC ANIMALS RESCUED FROM THE WILD, AS WELL AS THOSE IN OUR COLLECTION, AND TO RELEASE THEM BACK TO THE WILD WHERE APPROPRIATE AND SAFE TO DO SO.DURING 2011, THE ORGANIZATION AGAIN WELCOMED OVER 1.3 MILLION VISITORS TO ITS CENTRAL WHARF LOCATION.WE OPENED A NEW EXHIBIT ON THE UPPER FLOOR OF THE WEST WING, THE SHARK AND RAY TOUCH TANK, ON APRIL 15,2011 ALONG WITH A RECONFIGURED JELLIES EXHIBIT ON THE LOWER FLOOR OF THE WEST WING. THIS EXHIBIT PROVIDES OUR VISITORS WITH A UNIQUE, INTIMATE INTERACTION WITH WILD ANIMALS THAT IS RARELY EXPERIENCED AND HOPEFULLY ENHANCES THEIR APPRECIATION FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTECTING OUR MARINE RESOURCES.WE ACQUIRED AND ACCLIMATED TWO SEA LION PUPS IN OUR MARINE MAMMAL CENTER, AND DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED FOUR NEW INTERACTIVE PROGRAMS FOR VISITORS (BOTH DRY AND WET, USING WADERS).CLIMATE CHANGE INTERPRETATION IS NOW A REGULAR FEATURE ON OUR DAILY VISITOR PROGRAM SCHEDULE. A NATIONAL CLIMATE INTERPRETER.ORG WEBSITE WILL HOST THE TOOLKIT WE HAVE DEVELOPED FOR TRAINING INTERPRETERS ON CLIMATE CHANGE. WE ARE CONTINUING TO EXTEND OUR REACH TO NEW INSTITUTIONS WITH NEW STUDY CIRCLES AND TRAINING WORKSHOPS IN NORTH CAROLINA AND SAN FRANCISCO.WE COMPLETED A $1.5 MILLION RENOVATION OF OUR RESEARCH LABORATORY IN 2011. WE NOW HAVE A STATE OF THE ART ENDOCRINOLOGY LABORATORY, NEW LIFE SUPPORT FOR EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS AND ADVANCED TOOLS FOR ASSESSING OCEAN HEALTH. 4288472 132660 4311018 CONSERVATION AND RESEARCH - AS THE FIRST AQUARIUM IN THE COUNTRY TO ESTABLISH CONSERVATION AND RESEARCH DEPARTMENTS, WE HAVE LONG BELIEVED THAT SOLUTIONS TO ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. SCIENTISTS AT THE AQUARIUM PRODUCE MORE PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLES ON MARINE CONSERVATION AND RESEARCH THAN ANY OTHER U.S. AQUARIUM. THIS RESEARCH HAS INFORMED EFFORTS TO UNDERSTAND AND PROTECT SPECIES AND THEIR HABITATS AROUND THE GLOBE.SINCE 1980, AND CONTINUING IN 2011, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TO PREVENT NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE EXTINCTION. WE ADVOCATED FOR THE RECENTLY ENACTED REGULATION OF SHIP SPEEDS IN U.S. WATERS TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF SHIP STRIKES, ONE OF THE GREATEST THREATS TO THESE ENDANGERED CREATURES. SIMILAR WORK IN CANADA'S BAY OF FUNDY REDUCED STRIKES BY 90 PERCENT. BEGINNING IN 2000, OUR SCIENTISTS LED EFFORTS TO EXPLORE AND PROTECT THE PRISTINE CORAL REEFS AND BIODIVERSITY OF THE CENTRAL PACIFIC'S PHOENIX ISLANDS. DIRECTLY RELATED TO THAT WORK AND OUR ONGOING ENGAGEMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF KIRIBATI, IN 2008 THE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED THE DECISION TO FORM THE WORLD'S LARGEST CONTIGUOUS MARINE PROTECTED AREA, AN UNPRECEDENTED ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR AN INSTITUTION SUCH AS THE AQUARIUM. IN 2010, THE PHOENIX ISLANDS PROTECTED AREA (PIPA) WAS DESIGNATED BY UNESCO AS A WORLD HERITAGE SITE. THERE WAS WIDESPREAD MEDIA ATTENTION TO THIS ACHIEVEMENT. IN ADDITION, THE FIRST MEETING OF THE NEWLY FORMED PHOENIX ISLANDS PROTECTED AREA CONSERVATION TRUST (PIPA TRUST) WAS HELD IN TARAWA IN MARCH, PROVIDING FOCUS TOWARDS HIRING A TRUST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BUILDING THE TRUST ENDOWMENT GOING FORWARD. IN SEPTEMBER, NEAQ HOSTED THE FIRST-EVER PIPA SCIENCE AGENDA MEETING AND BROUGHT TOGETHER SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATORS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE. WE ARE NOW ACTIVELY SEEKING NEW AND RE-ENGAGING EXISTING FUNDING SOURCES TO SUPPORT A 10-YEAR RESEARCH PROGRAM AND A JUNE 2012 EXPEDITION TO PIPA.TAKING A COMPREHENSIVE, MULTI-TIERED APPROACH TO THE ISSUE, THE AQUARIUM IS A NATIONAL LEADER IN ADVANCING SEAFOOD SUSTAINABILITY. AQUARIUM RESEARCHERS WORK WITH THE FISHING INDUSTRY TO HELP THEM IMPROVE PRACTICES AND REDUCE ACCIDENTAL BYCATCH. OUR CONSERVATION STAFF ADVISES SOME OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST SEAFOOD RETAILERS AND SUPPLIERS TO ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF THE WORLD'S FISHERIES AND INFORMED PURCHASING DECISIONS. DURING 2011, THE AQUARIUM WORKED ON CONSUMER COMMUNICATIONS WITH SEVERAL NATIONAL WHOLESALE AND RETAIL ORGANIZATIONS IN ADDITION TO A VARIETY OF OTHER CONSERVATION PROJECTS RELATED TO SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD SOURCING. OUR SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD OUTREACH PROGRAMS CONTINUED TO GROW; THE WORLD OCEANS DAY CELEBRATION IN JUNE ATTRACTED OVER 1,500 ATTENDEES, MANY OF WHOM ENJOYED TASTINGS FROM THE FOUR SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD DEMONSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO EXPAND THE RANGE OF OUR PROGRAM BY PARTICIPATING IN MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL EVENTS, SUCH AS THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCES LETS TALK ABOUT FOOD FESTIVAL AND WERE THE RECIPIENTS OF TURNER FISHERIES CHARITABLE GIVING CAMPAIGN IN AUGUST AND WAS FEATURED IN THE MEDIA. CREATING A UNIFIED OCEAN HEALTH TRACKING SYSTEM IS A SIGNIFICANT SCIENTIFIC ENDEAVOR AND NUMEROUS SCIENTISTS AND INSTITUTIONS SPENT CONSIDERABLE TIME AND RESOURCES ON THIS IN 2010. UNDER THE GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION OF THE THREE FOUNDING OCEAN HEALTH INDEX (OHI) ORGANIZATIONS CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC AND THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM, THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT EFFORTS OVER THE COURSE OF THIS PAST YEAR TO FUNDRAISE AND STRATEGIZE FOR A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF THE FIRST VERSION OF THE INDEX IN 2012. FUNDRAISING EFFORTS HAVE BEEN REWARDING, INCLUDING OUR SUCCESS WITH DARDEN ENVIRONMENTAL TRUST TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SENTINEL SPECIES INDICATOR BY THE AQUARIUM'S RESEARCH SCIENTISTS. THERE WERE MANY DEVELOPMENTS DURING 2011, INCLUDING THE PRESENTATION OF SIX SCIENTIFIC TALKS AT THE INTERNATIONAL MARINE CONSERVATION CONGRESS IN VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ACCEPTANCE OF A PROPOSAL TO PRESENT A SYMPOSIUM ENTITLED THE OCEAN HEALTH INDEX: DIAGNOSIS FOR A CROWDED BLUE PLANET AT THE 2012 AMERICAN ACADEMY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE (AAAS) ANNUAL MEETING. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON HOW TO INCORPORATE THE OHI INTO OUR EXHIBIT PATH AND EDUCATION/OUTREACH, AS WELL AS COLLABORATING WITH OUR OHI PARTNERS IN DEVELOPING THE GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA RELATIONS STRATEGY FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE INDEX IN 2012.DATA FROM AN AQUARIUM STUDY ON SKATE MORTALITY IN COMMERCIAL FISHERIES WAS ADOPTED BY NOAA FISHERIES (VIA THE NEW ENGLAND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCIL) FOR INSTITUTING THE 2012/2013 SKATE CATCH LIMITS. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF HOW RESULTS FROM NEAQ RESEARCH ARE USED FOR CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT DECISIONS.IN FEBRUARY 2011, THE CONSORTIUM FOR WILDLIFE BYCATCH REDUCTION, WHICH IS HEADED BY THE AQUARIUM, CONVENED A WORKSHOP OF OVER 50 FISHERMEN, ENGINEERS AND WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS TO UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF LARGE WHALE ENTANGLEMENTS IN FISHING GEAR. THIS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL WORKSHOP SYNTHESIZED DECADES OF DATA FROM FISHING GEAR, WHALE BEHAVIOR, AND ENTANGLEMENT EVENTS, LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIES TO REDUCE THESE ENTANGLEMENTS TO INSIGNIFICANT LEVELS. 3628707 964169 EDUCATION - FOR 40 YEARS, THE AQUARIUM HAS PROVIDED LIFE-CHANGING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, FROM A CHILD TOUCHING A SEA STAR TO AN ADULT LEARNING HOW HIS DAILY ACTIONS CAN AFFECT THE OCEAN. THE AQUARIUM'S EDUCATIONAL IMPACT IS BROAD AND EVER-EXPANDING. FROM TODDLERS TO RETIREES, FROM THE HEART OF BOSTON, ACROSS NEW ENGLAND AND AROUND THE WORLD, OUR DIVERSE AUDIENCES HAVE EXPERIENCES THEY WILL NEVER FORGET.PROGRAMS SUCH AS HARBOR DISCOVERIES CAMP EXPOSE YOUNG PEOPLE TO MARINE ANIMALS AND HABITATS, ENCOURAGING A LIFETIME COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING THE BLUE PLANET. DURING 2011, OUR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS ENGAGED 327 PARTICIPANTS INCLUDING 75 FULL SCHOLARSHIP PARTICIPANTS FROM BOSTON. 244 TEENS APPLIED FOR SUMMER INTERNSHIPS AND 67 WERE HIRED TO WORK IN 13 AQUARIUM DEPARTMENTS/PROGRAM AREAS. THEY REPRESENTED 13 BOSTON NEIGHBORHOODS, CAMBRIDGE AND CHELSEA AND SPOKE 5 LANGUAGES.WE COMPLETED OUR FIRST FULL YEAR OF FUNDED PARTNERSHIPS IN 2011 WITH THREE BOSTON SCHOOLS AND SEVEN SALEM PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, INCLUDING A SUCCESSFUL TWO-DAY WORKSHOP REACHING 25 PARTNER TEACHERS. WE LAUNCHED A REVAMPED SHARKS OUTREACH PROGRAM, WHICH WAS USED EXTENSIVELY OVER THE SUMMER IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND WAS IMPLEMENTED FOR USE DURING THE 2011/12 SCHOOL YEAR. OVER THE SUMMER, OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH TEAM OF EIGHT TEEN INTERNS AND SIX EDUCATORS VISITED 70 SITES AND REACHED ALMOST 3,000 PEOPLE. WE ALSO HOSTED THREE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE EVENTS AT THE AQUARIUM (SCHOOL PARTNERS, CHINESE, AND HAITIAN COMMUNITIES) IN AN EFFORT TO REACH OUT TO AND ENGAGE UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS IN GREATER BOSTON. AS AN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE, WE HAVE HELPED THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS CAPTIVATE THEIR STUDENTS WITH MARINE AND ENVIRONMENTAL TOPICS WHILE IMPROVING ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. MORE THAN 140,000 SCHOOL CHILDREN EXPERIENCE THE AQUARIUM EVERY YEAR, EITHER THROUGH FIELD TRIPS OR SPECIAL PROGRAMS AT THEIR SCHOOLS. 5278121 0 584437 OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES - THE AQUARIUM WAS A PIONEER IN RESCUE AND REHABILITATION OF MARINE MAMMALS AND OTHER SPECIES. OUR MARINE ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM RESPONDS TO CALLS TO PROVIDE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR WHALES, DOLPHINS, PORPOISES, SEALS AND SEA TURTLES. OVER TIME, OUR EFFORTS HAVE SHIFTED FROM REHABILITATING SEALS TOWARDS MORE ENDANGERED SPECIES SUCH AS SEA TURTLES. OUR PROGRAM INCLUDES STRANDING RESPONSE, NECROPSY AND TISSUE SAMPLING OF DECEASED ANIMALS AND THE REHABILITATION OF ENDANGERED SEA TURTLES AT OUR MEDICAL FACILITIES.DURING 2011, WE CONTINUED TO REHABILITATE APPROXIMATELY 50 KEMP'S RIDLEY TURTLES AND ULTIMATELY RELEASED THOSE REMAINING SEA TURTLES FROM OUR SECOND HIGHEST STRANDING YEAR IN 2010. ADDITIONAL ENDANGERED SEA TURTLES WERE RESCUED FROM THE COASTAL WATERS OF SOUTHERN MASSACHUSETTS AND CAPE COD DURING THE LAST FOUR MONTHS OF 2011. WE ALSO MANAGED AN EXTREMELY HIGH MARINE MAMMAL STRANDING CASELOAD IN 2011, SURPASSING LAST YEAR'S TOTAL BY THE THIRD WEEK IN JULY, WITH OVER 500 CASES. THE NEW ENGLAND REGION AND CANADA EXPERIENCED A DIE OFF OF ADULT HARP SEALS THAT WE PERFORMED DETAILED NECROPSY EXAMS UPON DETERMINING THE CAUSE OF DEATH AS A FORM OF INFLUENZA. EVERY SUMMER WE HIRE UP TO 100 TEENS (AGES 15-17) FROM BOSTON AND CAMBRIDGE TO 6 WEEK INTERNSHIPS. TEENS EARN A STIPEND AND MAKE IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS WHILE LEARNING NEW SKILLS AND DEVELOPING THEIR INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS AND TALENTS. THESE INTERNS ATTEND CAREER SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CLASSES AND ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS AS WELL AS FIELD TRIPS.WE INVITE EMINENT SCIENTISTS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TO CONDUCT LECTURES AND PRESENT FILMS TO PUBLIC AUDIENCES. WE COLLABORATE WITH THE WGBH FORUM NETWORK TO RECORD MOST LECTURES AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE VIA STREAMING VIDEO OVER THE INTERNET. WE REACHED OVER 3,500 PEOPLE THROUGH THIS EFFORT IN 2011.AT OUR IMAX THEATER, WE PRESENT VARIOUS MISSION-ORIENTED FILMS WITH MESSAGING ABOUT THE PRESERVATION OF AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS AND THE CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES.FINALLY, OUR EXHIBITION PROGRAM DESCRIBED IN ITEM 4A IS SUPPORTED BY OUR CAFETERIA AND GIFT SHOP WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE MAIN EXHIBITION BUILDING. THESE ANCILLARY ACTIVITIES ARE PROVIDED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF VISITORS (THE AVERAGE VISITATION IS IN EXCESS OF 1 1/2 HOURS) AS WELL AS PROVIDING THE AQUARIUM WITH AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF REVENUE THAT IS USED TO SUPPORT OTHER MISSION ORIENTED PROGRAMMING THAT IS NOT SELF-SUSTAINING. THE GIFT SHOP ALSO PROVIDES SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR VISITORS TO PURCHASE ITEMS THAT EXTEND THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE, AND HAVE CONSERVATION MESSAGING, TO THEIR HOMES. 5278121 584437 32988250 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 43 0 1 435 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 20 19 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA CT NH ME NY X JOSEPH A ZANI VICE PRESIDENT CO 6179735456 177 MILK STREET BOSTON MA 02110 R WILLIAM BURGESS JR 10.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID ALTSHULER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT BEAL 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN J CAMPANELI 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID I CROWLEY 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN R DYNNER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL S EVANS 2.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE C FAGAN 1.00 X 0 0 0 HARRY A HANSON III 2.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA K HAZARD 2.00 X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN HEALY 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY G HEALY 1.00 X 0 0 0 OGDEN HUNNEWELL 2.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY HURST 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS KING 1.00 X 0 0 0 PE KRAUSS 2.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY PIERCE 2.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL S SHIFRIN PHD 2.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD ALLAN SODEN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LOUIS J VOLPE 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD RIS 40.00 X 284270 0 29700 WALTER J FLAHERTY 40.00 X 232524 0 44140 JANE WOLFSON 40.00 X 167453 0 3460 NANCY PERKINS 40.00 X 206353 0 5666 WILLIAM SPITZER 40.00 X 167097 0 21424 SCOTT D KRAUS 40.00 X 135721 0 11161 JOSEPH A ZANI 40.00 X 148551 0 18807 HEATHER TAUSIG 40.00 X 103291 0 13262 JOHN DAYTON 40.00 X 103570 0 8671 STEPHEN FULMER 40.00 X 102516 0 0 1651346 0 156291 10 0 1 0 CENTERPLATE 201 EBROAD STREET SPARTANBURG SC 29306 FOOD SERVICES MANAGEMENT 1719794 WISE CONSTRUCTION 21 EAST ST WINCHESTER MA 01890 CONSTRUCTION COMPANY 1362333 UNICCO SERVICE COMPANY 4002 SOLUTIONS CENTER CHICAGO IL 606724000 CLEANING COMPANY 999885 MULLEN WEN PUBLIC SERVICE PO BOX 7247-7279 PHILADELPHIA PA 191707279 ADVERTISING AGENCY 932966 IMAX CORPORATION 2525 SPEAKMAN DRIVE MISSISSAUGA ON CA FILM PRESENTATION MANAGEMENT 802118 16 3147368 13634623 553533 16781991 ADMISSIONS 900099 18215440 18215440 RESEARCH, CONSERVATION 900099 5338320 5338320 23553760 348259 348259 2858214 29412 3440355 50424 -582141 -21012 -603153 -603153 9827915 3556401 6271514 4170695 2100819 FEES 900099 738796 407616 331180 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 263804 263804 CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP 900099 257500 257500 1260100 47612471 28653375 2431999 -254894 132660 132660 1595182 669976 590217 334989 10273876 9041011 719171 513694 789573 663241 86853 39479 1357410 1045206 149315 162889 938380 788239 103222 46919 5666 4760 623 283 108000 90720 11880 5400 48000 48000 165878 165878 2067784 1736939 227456 103389 998779 838974 109866 49939 3210579 2711573 324354 174652 239528 201204 26348 11976 313883 263662 34527 15694 655404 550540 72094 32770 3815482 3205005 419703 190774 432634 363412 47590 21632 COST OF GRANTS & CONTRA 4696383 4696383 OUTSIDE SERVICES 4558868 3961107 525002 72759 EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND MA 986547 838565 98655 49327 PROFESSIONAL FEES 369546 310419 40650 18477 981229 826654 105513 49062 38741271 32988250 3693039 2059982 261478 1391978 3854820 7142738 1562580 2642031 134894 200658 594658 589598 106324808 49486474 57082682 56838334 12218461 13296861 2507132 2376251 78216705 84478449 6165731 3425908 3950277 4309872 20330000 19865000 3042145 3664231 33488153 31265011 X 32661246 32695986 5952321 14523909 6114985 5993543 44728552 53213438 78216705 84478449 X 8871200 -386314 X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X 13729923 11822453 9439372 6958804 16781991 58732543 19531925 19795782 20700001 21006250 23553760 104587718 33261848 31618235 30139373 27965054 40335751 163320261 919355 3548399 3047509 591744 3712807 11819814 0 919355 3548399 3047509 591744 3712807 11819814 151500447 726284 360444 339432 282710 348259 2057129 726284 360444 339432 282710 348259 2057129 192410 192410 1170178 706457 1090255 790524 1002599 4760013 35350720 32685136 31569060 29038288 41686609 170329813 0.88950 0.88690 0.01210 0.01460 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 48000 48000 37031485 37079485 1000000 250000 0 0 1000000 1000000 1000000 1000000 4000000 6000000 96000 79109 74776 48000 297885 250000 250000 250000 250000 1000000 1500000 1 100000 49790 385092 1 1 6114985 12783 -134183 5993585 6193544 118754 29200 226513 6114985 6174305 19239 6193544 6354221 1000 -57017 123899 6174305 1.00000 1 0 50235 50235 67712640 26552546 41160094 6943579 2375910 4567669 23903582 16602249 7301333 7714772 3955769 3759003 56838334 47612471 38741271 8871200 404726 -791040 -386314 8484886 51448900 404726 3431703 3836429 47612471 0 47612471 42973100 4231829 4231829 38741271 0 38741271 DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: PART V, LINE 4: TO GENERATE EARNINGS TO SUPPORT VARIOUS MISSION RELATED PROGRAMS (PER INTENT OF NAMED ENDOWMENT FUND) AND GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
