Part X, Line 2: Under ASC 740-10 an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. WWF does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and accordingly it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. WWF has filed for and received income tax exemptions in the jurisdictions where it is required to do so. Additionally, WWF has filed IRS Form 990 and Form 990-T tax returns as required and all other applicable returns in those jurisdictions where it is required. WWF believes that it is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014. For the year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no interest or penalties recorded or included in the consolidated statements of activities related to uncertain tax positions.

I, line 1: PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: All grant agreement documents have payment provisions and terms and conditions for use of funds. Payments are made in incremental amounts for grants above $25,000 based on the cash flow needs and progress of the recipient. After the initial payment, all subsequent payments are made after receipt, review, and acceptance of signed financial and technical reports from the grantees. Final payments are made upon receipt and acceptance of final deliverables. All agreements, receipt of deliverables, and payments are tracked using a database designed for tracking of grants. All payments are documented in the accounting system. Grantee can only receive more funding than was in the original agreement budget through the issuance of an amendment document. For all government funded agreements, an expanded financial report is required from the Grantees. This includes monitoring adherence to donor requirements with emphasis on adherence to procurement requirements; use of equipment, timesheets, and separate bank accounts if required. For high risk grantees, additional monitoring requirements are employed as applicable, such as copies of general ledgers, receipts, bank reconciliations, and site visits. Grantees receiving more than $100,000 are required to submit an annual (outside) audit. Grantees receiving government funding are subject to additional donor requirements, including project audits or expense verifications. If Grantees are subject to an OMB A-133 audit, WWF seeks confirmation of an unqualified audit opinion. If there are findings, a corrective action plan is developed in collaboration with the Grantee and monitored for improvement; documentation is required as needed. FORM 990, SCHEDULE F, PART I, II and III: The accrual method of accounting is used to account for foreign expenditures and grants.

It does not reflect a true operating deficit, but rather a planned use of Temporarily Restricted Net Assets (funds raised in prior years designated for future use). Form 990, Part III, Line 4a-d, Program Services: Line 4a, Global Conservation: WWF works to protect and restore species and their habitats, strengthen local communities' ability to conserve the natural resources they depend upon and transform markets and policies to reduce the impact of the production and consumption of commodities. Our aim is to ensure that the value of nature is reflected in investments and decisions made by individuals, communities, governments and businesses. A science-based and results oriented conservation organization, the WWF Network works in over 100 countries to fulfill its mission to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. WWF strives to accomplish this mission by achieving six programmatic goals: Climate, Forests, Freshwater, Oceans, Sustainable Food, and Wildlife. Line 4b, Policy: WWF works to strengthen public policy related to international biodiversity conservation through analysis and advocacy on conservation issues, international funding and lending programs, international agreements, and global environmental and development policies and practices. WWF is also working to strengthen the international regime to mitigate climate change and reduce carbon emissions, assess climate changes impacts, undertake research and develop strategies to improve the resiliency of ecosystems to climate change, and improve energy efficiency in targeted sectors. LINE 4C,PUBLIC EDUCATION: WWF SHARES INFORMATION WITH THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ON NATURE'S VALUE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSERVATION THROUGH A VARIETY OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS, FROM OUR AWARD WINNING PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS, OUR WEBSITE AND MOBILE APPS, EARNED MEDIA, OUR SIGNATURE PUBLICATION WORLD WILDLIFE MAGAZINE, TO ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL EVENTS SUCH AS EARTH HOUR AND INNOVATIVE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS THAT EDUCATE THE CONSUMER. WITH 1.1 MILLION MEMBERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND 6 MILLION SUPPORTERS GLOBALLY, THE WWF NETWORK, OF WHICH WWF IS A PART, IS WORKING TO MOBILIZE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO SUPPORT CONSERVATION. Line 4d, Other Program Services: Market transformation: WWF partners with corporations, government agencies, NGOs, universities and research institutes to reduce the impact of the production and trade of commodities that most affect our conservation priorities. Our goal is to measurably reduce the most significant impacts of individual actors as well as entire industries.

But a new US government rule released in December aims to prevent illegally caught fish from winding up in US grocery stores and restaurants. The rule - supported by 750,000 WWF activists - is a huge victory for protecting vulnerable marine species. WWF Advocates for Ivory Ban In September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature reported a severe drop in Africas elephant population over the past decade, largely from poaching. But new commitments from the US and China - for which WWF advocated strongly - offer reason for hope. In July 2016, the US banned most trade of elephant ivory. China followed suit in December, announcing plans to close its domestic ivory trade by the end of 2017. US Bans Oil and Gas Drilling In 115 Million Acres of Arctic Ocean The Inupiat village in northwest Alaska belongs to a region that has been threatened by the prospect of offshore oil and gas drilling. That prospect ground to a halt on December 20, when then-President Barack Obama announced a permanent ban on oil and gas drilling throughout 115 million acres of Arctic ocean. WWF and 225,000 of its supporters called for that protective measure. Oil and gas drilling is unsafe in such a remote location and could cause massive damage to the regions indigenous communities, wildlife, and ecosystems. WWF will continue working to keep the ban intact to protect this extremely valuable landscape for future generations. As White House Leans Away from Paris Agreement, Other US Leaders Lean In Days after the US announced its intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, more than 1,200 leaders across the country signed a published open letter titled "We Are Still In." The signatories - which included governors, businesses, tribes, and universities - declared their support for the Paris Agreement and their commitment to lowering US carbon emissions. Building Coalitions for the Climate In addition to the coalition mentioned above, 70 companies now support the Corporate Renewable Energy Buyers Principles, a framework WWF helped create that makes it easier for large businesses to buy renewable energy. In April, Walmart launched Project Gigaton, a plan to remove a gigaton of emissions from its supply chain by 2030 with help from partners including WWF. FORM 990, PART III Additional Successes in FY17 Supporters raise $250,000 for bison WWF supporters raised more than $250,000 to extend bison habitat in Badlands National Park from 57,640 acres to 80,193 acres. The expansion will allow the park to sustain a herd of more than 1,000 bison. WWFs objective is to sustain five herds of this size in the Northern Great Plains by 2025. Mexico bans gillnets in Upper Gulf of California In June, the government of Mexico implemented a permanent ban on gillnets in vaquita habitat - fewer than 30 of the critically endangered porpoises remain, and their decline has been attributed primarily to bycatch - and committed to helping local communities resume legal, sustainable fishing activities. A recent WWF-coordinated vaquita campaign rallied more than 200,000 WWF supporters worldwide. UN's civil aviation body caps emissions Following active engagement from WWF, the United Nations civil aviation body agreed in October to cap carbon pollution from international aviation. At least 65 countries have signed the agreement. Aviation represents the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions driving global climate change, and this agreement will address more than three-fourths of expected emissions growth between 2021 and 2035. WWF releases analysis of grassland loss WWF released the first edition of the Plowprint Report, a publication that will track annual grassland conversion to cropland across the Great Plains. WWF is dedicated to achieving no net loss of grasslands and has focused its efforts on conserving the Northern Great Plains, a 180 million-acre region that remains largely intact. CARE-WWF Alliance improves crops, fish stocks in Mozambique Since 2012, the CARE-WWF Alliance in Mozambiques Primeiras e Segundas Archipelago has established 59 field schools teaching climate-resilient agriculture, doubling yields of staple crops. The Alliance has also supported no-fishing zones established and managed by three key communities, increasing fish stocks by at least 50%, fish diversity by 200%, and families reporting catches by 70%. McDonald's commits to better beef McDonalds committed to source only deforestation-free beef by 2020 in at-risk regions, including the Amazon and other valuable ecosystems across Latin America. WWF helped the company develop this goal. FSC certifies 320,000 acres in China The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified 320,000 acres of forestland in southern China, and secured commitments to improve management on another 450,000 acres. This marks a major milestone in WWF and Apples partnership to see 1,000,000 acres of forestland in China under improved management by 2020. General Motors commits to rubber sustainability policy In partnership with WWF, General Motors became the first automaker to commit to developing a policy to use tires made from sustainable natural rubber. Unsustainable production of natural rubber is rapidly becoming the leading cause of deforestation in mainland Southeast Asia; 75% of natural rubber goes into making tires for planes, buses, cars, and trucks. DRC grants women the right to own land The Democratic Republic of the Congo granted women the legal right to own land. Before, women who paid for and farmed the land lacked legal claim to it. WWF, in partnership with USAID, worked to empower women in the DRC by teaching them sustainable farming techniques and by successfully advocating for requirements that women be represented on natural resource committees. More Irrawaddy dolphins in Cambodia WWF-Cambodia staff members documented 11 new Irrawaddy dolphin calves in the Mekong River in February, and saw a 30% drop in dolphin mortality from 2015 to 2016. The Cambodian Mekong Dolphin Conservation Project, in which WWF participates, works to maintain a viable dolphin population and protect it from overfishing. Protection for Antarctic sea Twenty-four countries and the European Union agreed to protect for 35 years nearly a million square miles of Antarcticas Ross Sea, establishing 70% as a fully protected marine reserve and the rest as research zones. The agreement is the worlds largest ocean protection plan in history. Russia protects Amur tiger habitat The Russian Federal Forestry Agency cancelled new amendments to timber-cutting regulations that would have put 80% of old-growth Korean pine forests at risk. WWF-Russia and Greenpeace urged the Russian government to protect these forests, which are essential habitat for Amur tigers. 1250 24 LLC 1250 24TH ST NW Washington DC 20037 814591595 REAL ESTATE DC 386719 2523045 WWF 1250 24 STREET LLC 1250 24TH ST NW WASHINGTON DC 20037 821723387 Real Estate DC 0 0 WWF
