In 2019, EDF helped pass climate legislation in Colorado, worked with New Mexicos governor on a commitment to reduce climate pollution and helped develop policies to deploy more electric trucks and buses in California, New York and Texas. EDF also played a major role in working with the International Civil Aviation Organization on a system to cap carbon emissions from international flights beginning in 2021, the first global carbon market for an entire industry sector. And to reduce human-caused emissions of methane - which are responsible for more than 25% of today's global warming - EDF and Stanford University tested new methane sensors mounted on drones, trucks and planes, while EDFs affiliate MethaneSAT advanced plans to build and launch a satellite to measure methane pollution worldwide. 20935347 3212814 0 Ecosystems - EDF develops ways to meet peoples needs for food, water and other natural resources while improving ecosystems. In 2019, EDF helped broker a landmark deal in which Arizona, California and Nevada agreed to share cuts in the use of Colorado River water during dry years. Congress approved the historic pact in April 2019. To improve soil health and reduce air and water pollution from fertilizer, EDF has forged partnerships with Tyson Foods, the largest U.S. meat producer, and the National Corn Growers Association, which represents more than 300,000 farmers. So far, these and other partnerships have delivered improved fertilizer management and soil health on more than 5 million acres. EDF also worked with farmers, ranchers and others to improve habitat for imperiled wildlife, including the monarch butterfly. In Louisiana, EDF is working with a coalition of nonprofits on a $50 billion state plan to rebuild coastal wetlands and help communities prepare for rising seas and stronger storms. Applying lessons from Louisiana, EDF is helping other coastal states from New York to Texas prepare for the future. 19700557 786104 0 Oceans - To improve the health of the oceans and increase future supplies of seafood, EDF aims to reduce overfishing and achieve a dramatic recovery in fish populations. EDF promotes secure fishing rights to give fishermen a financial stake in conserving fish for the future, even as climate change is warming ocean waters, driving some species of fish toward the poles. In 2019, EDF worked with Chile and Peru to help those countries share information on fish stocks and develop an early warning system to predict climate impacts on fisheries. In Japan, lawmakers enacted the most significant reform of their fisheries laws in 70 years, incorporating EDF recommendations for greater reliance on science-based catch limits and to develop recovery plans for overfished stocks. And from the United States to Mexico to Indonesia, EDF began testing cameras, machine learning and low-cost sensors to monitor fishing more accurately and improve sustainability, as part of its Smart Boat Initiative. 20545578 1294452 0 RESEARCH & EDUCATION 5843890 2379039 0 OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SCIENTIST 6414987 1140387 0 HEALTH 32804455 4813878 0 149934525 true true false true false false false false false true true false false true true true false true false true true true false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true false true X 524 0 true 860 true false true MX UK CH ID NL false false false false false false false false false false X 43 43 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY LA 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 WILLIAM OBRIEN 2125052100 257 PARK AVENUE SOUTH NEW YORK NY 10010 X Carl Ferenbach CHAIR 6.0 4.0 X X 0 0 0 Shelby W Bonnie vice chair 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Ruth Defries PH D vice chair 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Honorable Thomas H Kean vice chair 2.0 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Arthur P Cooley SECRETARY 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Herb Allen TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 G Leonard Baker Jr TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Joshua Bekenstein TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Bills TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Sally G Bingham MDiv TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Matt Cohler FROM 519 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Christopher A Cole TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Christopher J Costello TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 LESLIE DACH TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Ford Dorsey TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Stanley Druckenmiller TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kirsten J Feldman TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Lynn R Goldman MD MPH TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Charles J Hamilton Jr Esq TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Griffith R Harsh IV MD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mark W Heising TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Alice Hill FROM 119 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kristine Johnson THRU 119 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lisa Keith trustee 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dani Lambert FROM 519 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 XUE LAN TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Richard Lazarus Esq TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Abby Leigh TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Katherine Lorenz TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Frank E Loy TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Secretary Ray Mabus TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Mandel TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 Marie Lynn Miranda PH D TRUSTEE (FROM 5/19) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Murdoch TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Susan Oberndorf TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Olden PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Signe Ostby THRU 519 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stephen W Pacala PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Julian H Robertson Jr TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ginger Sall TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Peggy M Shepard TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Strickler TRUSTEE 2.0 2.0 X 0 0 0 David S Vogel TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Abigail Wexner FROM 519 TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Charles F Wurster PhD TRUSTEE 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Frederic D Krupp President 36.0 4.0 X 766026 0 95653 WILLIAM O'BRIEN FROM 1018 CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 36.0 4.0 X 84098 0 1935 ROBERT YOUNG SEE SCH O INTERIM CFO/AVP CONTROLLER 36.0 4.0 X 202696 0 65616 JOE BONFIGLIO EDAF PRESIDENT 36.0 4.0 X 207709 0 82009 GWEN RUTA EXECUTIVE VP -

In FY2019, EDF spent a total of $4,044,415, which comprises 2.13% of its total expenditures, on influencing legislation. Consistent with its tax-exempt purpose, EDFs lobbying activities were focused on the protection of the environment, human health, and wildlife. During FY2019, EDF held the line on national environmental protections. EDF and its allies continue to fight assaults on the environment through proposed legislation - and winning victories. The bedrock laws remain intact and EDF continues a strong defense. EDFs largest lobby expenditure during FY2019 was a grant of $3.7M provided to Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDAF), the political action partner and affiliated 501(c)(4) organization of EDF. The purpose of the grant was to provide general support for the educational and lobbying activities of EDAF in furtherance of its mission, which is consistent with the shared program objectives of EDF and EDAF. As required by law, EDAF is restricted from using any of the EDF lobby grant funds for political campaign activities under the terms of the grant agreement between EDF and EDAF. DEFENDING THE RIGHT TO CLEANER CARS The largest source of U.S. climate pollution is transportation, yet certain Federal initiatives seek to roll back vehicle pollution standards. Some automakers have gone along, but Ford, Honda, BMW and Volkswagen rejected such initiatives and agreed with California on stronger standards. When Californias authority to set its own standards was challenged, EDF, its allies and 23 states - including Michigan, home of the U.S. auto industry - filed suit in federal court to block such challenge. EDF also challenged the repeal in court of the Clean Power Plan, a rule curbing carbon emissions from electrical power plants. EDF was joined by a broad coalition of states, municipalities and electric companies, as well as other environmental and health organizations. STOPPING DANGEROUS CHEMICALS, A 2016 overhaul of the nations badly outdated chemical safety law was a major victory for public health, and EDF was instrumental in that bipartisan win. EDF had a major victory in 2019, winning a federal court decision that supports the publics right to know about toxic chemicals in homes, schools and workplaces. Meanwhile, in response to a petition from EDF and its allies, the Food and Drug Administration banned seven cancer-causing chemicals from food. THE GROUNDSWELL OF ACTION is working. After years of climate denial, or the lack thereof, climate is clearly at the core and center in the nations capital. DEFEND OUR FUTURE, EDFs youth mobilization program, pitched in, turning out college and youth leaders across the country. Adding energy and momentum to the groundswell of climate action was MOMS CLEAN AIR FORCE. Our million-strong affiliate mobilized mothers and families to demand action on the environment, testifying before Congress and meeting with elected officials at all levels. In addition to efforts focused on federal legislation, EDF was active during FY2019 at the state-level, including in the states of Arizona, Colorado, California, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and Pennsylvania. COLORADO, EDF is working to slash dependence on fossil fuels across the country. In Colorado, a major oil and gas producing state, EDF helped pass legislation in May 2019 requiring a 90% economywide cut in climate pollution by 2050, putting the state on the path to a 100% clean economy. EDF fought hard for this law, finding champions in the legislature and building a diverse coalition of health, community and business organizations. NEW JERSEY, EDF helped block an unneeded natural gas pipeline in September 2019, setting a precedent for other states to do the same. In California, New York and Texas, were developing policies to deploy more electric trucks and buses, as part of our goal to achieve at least a 30% market share for such vehicles worldwide by 2030. And in New Mexico, the state has committed to a 45% reduction in climate pollution by 2030, starting with strong methane rules. NEW YORK, EDF built a powerful coalition (more than 150 allies) to reduce air pollution and fund mass transit in New York City. EDF was instrumental in the passing of landmark congestion pricing legislation. The historic agreement to limit traffic in congested areas, which will lead to cleaner air and lower carbon emissions. The passage of such caps a decade of work by EDF and makes New York the nations first city with congestion pricing. EDF accomplishes its lobbying objectives through both in-house staff and outside consultants, who assist with strategizing and planning, and through grassroots and direct communications. 13721003 103124 911174 633156 14102145 13242230 3011 1073741 597979 13721003 12453146 27521 1504407 742844 13242230 12170777 598267 315898 12453146 7492238 377594 282629 7587203 0.52670 0.47330 false false 393319 100296 293023 21350851 9996103 11354748 11324875 9824057 1500818 9853505 0 9853505 23002094 INTERCOMPANY RECEIVABLES 24299026 SECURITY DEPOSITS 546190 PENSION PLAN ASSETS 4342426 OTHER ASSETS 401261 29588903 0 ANNUITIES PAYABLE 4878694 PENSION PLAN LIABILITY 4187209 INTERCOMPANY PAYABLES 22201600 DEFERRED RENT 3125735 34393238 X 187174482 514193 10924 1009644 1534761 185639721 185639721 189663488 10924 1009644 1020568 188642920 188642920 PART V, LINE 4: ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND, INC.S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF TWENTY-ONE INDIVIDUAL FUNDS, ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES AND CONSISTING ENTIRELY OF DONOR-RESTRICTED FUNDS.
