We partner with leaders and communities for just, meaningful impact to address the climate crisis. 0 0 19055668 6183333 2022832 Policy Relevant Research: Scientific excellence is the foundation for all of Woodwell Climate Research Center's activities, and distinguishes WCRC from other NGOs in the environmental sector. Through a holistic, multidisciplinary, applied, and team-focused approach, we seek to create breakthrough understanding of climate change impacts and solutions, for the purpose of informing sound environmental policies from the local to global scale. WCRC's research is focused on the land-climate connection - how changes in land use effect the climate system; how the changing climate is altering systems on land such as forests, ecosystems and agriculture; and what land-management strategies can harness the power of nature to slow climate change. Most of this research is conducted in the arctic and the tropics-critical regions where natural systems contain disproportionate shares of the planet's biodiversity and stored carbon, but where deforestation, agriculture, fire, and climatic warming place these assets at great risk. 5209583 2350000 Center Funded Science: This category of expenditures represents Woodwell Climate Research Center's commitment to stimulating innovation, investing in future science leaders and investing in our scientific staff by funding projects of our own choosing. Center funded science aims to supplement/extend existing projects, or seed-fund projects that have the potential to have outsized impact in science and policy or which have good potential for return on investment by enabling external funding. 2431258 Policy Engagement, Education & Communication: Woodwell Climate Research Center has a long and rich history of impacting climate policy processes at multiple levels, and sharing our scientific understanding of climate change with the world through cutting-edge communication and education programs. WCRC builds partnerships with local and national governments, non-governmental and private-sector organizations to implement and measure progress towards national commitments to the Paris agreement. To leave an educational legacy, WCRC offers hands-on experiential programs to train a new generation of climate science leaders. WCRC fosters immersive educational programs that encourage students to link field research with big-picture solutions in the challenging and fast-changing environments where we work. 26696509 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 73 0 1 162 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X X John Arseneault 5085409900 149 Woods Hole Road Falmouth MA 025401644 C Gail Greenwald Chair (7/1/24-6/6/25) 8.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas J Hynes III Vice Chair (7/24-6/6/25), Chair (6/7/25-6/30/25) 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael J Fanger Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jainey Bavishi Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jerry Brown Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christina Deconcini Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Andre L Guimarraes Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Kennedy III Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Roger A Kranenburg Clerk 2.00 X X 0 0 0 John L Le Coq Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Robert B Litterman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Wilhelm M Merck Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph J Mueller Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Georgia Chafee Nassikas Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn T Prickett Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kilaparti Ramakriashna Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel A Reifsynder Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph R Robinson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jean A Rogers Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aniket Shah Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ihsan K Speede Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Izabella M Teixeira Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie N Tomasky Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cyrus N Wadia Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sanjay J Wagle Vice Chair (6/7/25-6/30/25) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Max Holmes President & Chief Executive Officer 40.00 X 457268 0 52908 Philip Duffy President & Executive Director 40.00 X 333297 0 61907 Corrie Martin Chief Operating Officer 40.00 X 320816 0 33396 Wayne Walker Vice President of Science 40.00 X 237272 0 66117 John Arseneault Vice President of Finance 40.00 X 229989 0 32190 Leslie Kolterman VP of Philanthropy 40.00 X 248787 0 53160 Susan Natali Senior Scientist 40.00 X 196331 0 44209 Christopher Neill Senior Scientist 40.00 X 220472 0 35965 Christopher Schwalm Vice President of Science 40.00 X 205710 0 62604 David McGlinchey Chief of Government Relations 40.00 X 206628 0 20668 Michael Coe Sr. Scientist/Tropics Program Dir 40.00 X 199116 0 48968 Jonathan Sanderman Vice President of Science 40.00 X 186276 0 43542 3041962 0 555634 46 0 1 0 Velocity GlobalLLC 3290 El Camino Real 1010 Palo Alto CA 94306 Global employment and expansion service 541350 The Bridgespan Group Inc 2 Copley Place Suite 3700B Boston MA 02116 Business management consulting 529875 CliftonLarsonAllen LLP PO Box 829709 Philadelphia PA 191829709 Accounting services/software consulting 303278 Succentrix Business Advisors of McKinney 2098 Timineri Dr Princeton TX 75407 Accounting services/consulting 267844 Hemenway & Barnes LLP 75 State Street16th Floor Boston MA 021091466 Legal and advisory 117493 10 5545106 13342123 701393 18887229 Contract revenue 900099 4372832 4372832 4372832 1056185 1056185 3513210 3515626 523 -2416 -523 -2939 -2939 Other income 900099 24779 24779 24779 24338086 4372832 0 1078025 5695764 5695764 487569 487569 2467858 1773588 482193 212077 12032206 8647249 2350962 1033995 1067341 767071 208547 91723 1960765 1409153 383112 168500 1165381 837530 227703 100148 168125 133451 34674 571122 46610 488612 35900 36500 36500 75493 75493 1346505 1253820 92685 41586 29787 8577 3222 1637261 1191653 350242 95366 480197 343953 99036 37208 359280 60764 298516 1885789 1630159 179298 76332 658978 434648 177474 46856 25136 25136 639665 155058 483923 684 209270 149895 43160 16215 Common costs 1686966 1373506 212073 101387 Research supplies 275281 275281 34974038 26696509 6128731 2148798 2847411 1142976 26932781 20549183 15153941 10365062 1896724 2306988 370584 777224 16934034 11091184 5742118 5842850 13166802 14688742 335951 284030 66446312 55957055 3298927 2503802 826788 685147 41472 32318 4167187 3221267 X 18913816 19260618 43365309 33475170 62279125 52735788 66446312 55957055 X -10635952 1093465 -850 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 17100999 42170121 18269940 26619062 18887229 123047351 17100999 42170121 18269940 26619062 18887229 123047351 21256151 101791200 185814 193697 502922 1384772 1056185 3323390 126370741 19367989 0.80550 0.80320 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 160000 0 0 160000 0 Part II-B, Line 1: Woodwell Climate Research Center engaged in direct lobbying by meeting with federal legislators virtually and directly in Washington, DC.

At the discretion of the President/CEO, the bonus provided in 2024 for all staff was provided to recognize excellent work by those individuals over the prior fiscal year. The amount provided as bonuses was generally 3% of base compensation for all employees, determined to be appropriate by the CEO, with exceptions made in some cases where additional compensation was deemed warranted. The President/CEO's employment contract provides for a merit based bonus if approved by the Board of Directors. The Board determines incentive goals each year and then annually determines whether sufficient progress toward those goals has been made. In 2024 the Board approved a bonus to the President/CEO in the amount indicated based on successful attainment of those incentive goals.
