| Desc | EXPERIENCES AND OUTREACH The National Geographic Society's Experiences and Outreach programs enlighten and entertain global audiences to help further understanding of the world we share and inspire action to help create a healthy and more sustainable future. These programs include the National Geographic Museum and traveling exhibitions, the National Geographic Live programs in Washington, D.C., the National Geographic Museum retail store, and the digital media and short-form video groups. The National Geographic Museum--National Geographic Society creates exhibitions that allow visitors to experience the mission of The Society in a unique and highly educational setting. Each year, the museum presents exhibitions and programs that expand on National Geographic content and extend the life of the stories that we tell not only in Washington, but in museums around the country and around the world. The National Geographic Museum welcomed 150,000 visitors in 2016 including 10,000 students and school groups. The Museum mounted four exhibitions and hosted public programming that complemented the exhibitions. In addition, the museum toured many of its exhibitions to locations around the world. The Museum hosted 48 community programs, including student matinee programs, evening lectures, panel discussions, and special film screenings which inspired, educated, and enriched the lives of thousands in the D.C. area. The audience for the museum includes National Geographic members, local residents, national and international tourists, military personnel, congressional members and staffs, the diplomatic community, school groups, and students from around the region and beyond. Many of the exhibitions that originate at the National Geographic Museum are then offered to other museums around the U.S. and internationally so the audiences continue to grow for these projects even after they close in Washington. We began 2016 showcasing the work of National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore through "Photo Ark," an exhibition featuring large-format prints of species in need of greater conservation. Photo Ark is a multi-year initiative with a simple goal - to take portraits of all of the world's captive species, raise awareness about the extinction crisis, and inspire people to get involved in conservation efforts. The Museum opened a new exhibition in February created by Peeling Productions called "Crocs: Ancient Predators in a Modern World", which provided a unique and engaging window into the world of crocodiles. The exhibition featured the work of modern scientists, including several NGS grantees, and explored fascinating and rare species of Crocs from around the world. Summer brought the landmark exhibition on Greek history and culture, "The Greeks: From Agamemnon to Alexander the Great". Created in partnership with the Ministry of Culture in Athens, twenty-one of Greece's national museums, the Field Museum in Chicago, the Canadian Museum of History, and the Pointe a Calliere Museum in Montreal, the exhibition featured over 550 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of Greek history. It represented the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of its kind to come to North America in a generation. Washington, D.C. was the last stop on this impressive tour, with the exhibition running June 1 through October 9. The exhibition was accompanied by a three-hour documentary series produced by NG Studios that was broadcast in primetime on PBS in June. Additional exhibition greeted visitors and patrons in our M Street lobby throughout the year. "Pristine Seas" documented the extraordinary conservation program led by NGS Explorer-in-Residence Enric Sala, and "Invisible Boundaries: Exploring Yellowstone's Great Animal Migrations," a partnership with Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming and the National Park Service, featured the groundbreaking work of National Geographic photographer Joe Riis and National Geographic grantee and Yale scientist Arthur Middleton. The two have been tracking the migration patterns of the great elk of Yellowstone for over eight years. The exhibition coincided with the May issue of National Geographic magazine devoted to Yellowstone National Park. In November, NG Museum hosted the annual DC FotoWeek festival in partnership with FOTODC . The weeklong festival featured exhibitions of local photography as well as a series of special programs and events. TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS National Geographic traveling exhibitions were hosted by venues around the world in 2016. There were many photography shows including "National Geographic at 125," "50 Greatest Photographs," "The World in B&W," "Polar Obsession," "President's Photographer," "Lions & Tigers & Bears," "Ocean Soul," and "Colors of the World." These exhibitions were held in various venues in 15 countries including Canada, Mexico, Korea, Russia, Italy, Spain, Chile, Macedonia, Slovedia and the Netherlands. In addition, the National Geographic exhibition "Birds of Paradise: Amazing Avian Evolution" was on view at the Perot Museum of Natural History in Dallas, Texas. "Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers on Assignment" was on view at the Orlando Museum of Art, the Field Museum in Chicago, and the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. "Monsterfish: In Search of the Last River Giants" was hosted by the Tennessee Aquarium, and "Spinosaurus: Lost Giant of the Cretaceous" was exhibited at the Natural History Museums in Berlin and Barcelona in 2016. NG Live, the Society's signature live event series had wonderful spring and fall seasons in 2016 featuring over 40 lectures by scientists, photographers, and special guests. A first annual free Family Day was hosted on President's Day in February. The museum hosted a special summer series in 2016 to complement the "Greeks" exhibition. The Summer of the Greeks featured special programming that included a Democracy Forum, programs on Greek food, architecture, and archaeology, and dramatic readings from ancient Greek texts including a program by Caroline Alexander on Homer's The Iliad as well as a special 9/11 production of "Theater of War" highlighting the powerful writings of Sophocles on the human toll of conflict and war. The National Geographic Museum store helps visitors take National Geographic home with them by offering captivating books and unique handmade products from around the globe as well as travel accessories that will help guide them on their way. Many of the products come with "providence cards" containing descriptive histories educating the visitor about indigenous peoples or endangered species around the world. Digital media The Short form video team produces videos for distribution on the National Geographic Society's digital platforms as well as for marketing initiatives, education programs, and events. In 2016, a total of 759 videos were produced including 350 for digital distribution. The digital videos featuring the work of National Geographic Explorers garnered over 70 million views across all social and digital platforms. This number includes 6 million views for Big Cats Initiative-specific videos. Additionally, videos were screened at global events such as UN World Wildlife Day and the International Union for Conservation of Nature. | Desc |

| Desc | IMPACT INITIATIVES The National Geographic Society Impact Initiatives are multiyear projects that have the greatest potential to lead to new discoveries, push the boundaries of knowledge, or bring about the timely protection of endangered animals, cultures, or ecosystems. In 2016, these impact projects included the following: The National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project (NGOWP) is working to protect the Okavango watershed by exploring and surveying its source waters in Angola. The team is conducting a series of canoe- and land-based expeditions focusing on the least-known, most-inaccessible parts of the Okavango Basin's river catchments in southeastern Angola-a study area of approximately 150,000 square kilometers. This area, when linked to protected areas in Namibia and Botswana, would become one of the largest transboundary protected areas on the continent. The NGOWP is led by National Geographic Fellow Steve Boyes, who has built an interdisciplinary expedition team to explore the remote Angolan source rivers that feed the Delta. Starting in 2015 and slated to run through 2018, the NGOWP is surveying the river systems, collecting data and scientific insights to help determine strategies for protecting these essential waterways. In addition to building a case for conservation through expedition science, the team is focused on facilitating long term, sustainable management of protected areas in Angola through helping to establish partnerships between governments, NGOs, and local communities. In 2016, the team explored over 21,000 square kilometers of the study area, concentrating on land- and river-based exploration of the source lakes and the Cuanavale river. This resulted in the cumulative identification of over 24 species potentially new to science. A panel presentation was presented with the government in June as part of United Nations Development Programme regional World Environment Day celebrations in Luanda and a preliminary report of results was submitted in November. Pristine Seas is an exploration, research, and media project inspired and led by National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala to help protect the last wild places in the ocean. This includes not only preserving areas that are pristine or near pristine, but also helping to bring closer to restore areas that may have suffered some human impacts but still harbor unique features such as large animals, healthy bottom communities, and outstanding biodiversity. We envision a future ocean where representative examples of undisturbed ecosystems are protected from direct human activities, with the hope that these places will be healthier, more productive, and more resilient to the impacts of ocean warming and acidification. These protected areas will be the best baselines to understand the true magnitude of human impacts on ocean life, to evaluate the efficacy of management and conservation actions, and to help us determine what future ocean we want for our children and grandchildren. Pristine Seas has carried out expeditions in 23 places, 13 of which have since been protected, covering a total area of over 4.5 million square kilometers - more than six times the area of Texas. Over the next two years, Pristine Seas will target eight more locations to explore, aiming to inspire the protection of a total of 20 of the wildest places in the ocean by 2020. National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative (BCI) is a comprehensive, action-oriented program that supports on-the-ground big cat conservation projects and a global public awareness campaign, Cause an Uproar. This initiative supports the protection of lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, snow leopards, and other top felines who are quickly disappearing, all victims of habitat loss and degradation as well as conflict with humans. By the end of 2016, BCI awarded more than 100 grants covering 27 countries with a total of more than $3 Million. The BCI grants program has made important strides in helping communities understand and protect big cats. The Cause an Uproar campaign raises awareness and funds for BCI. BCI continues to offer several ways for public engagement including free educator lesson plans, the "Build a Boma" peer to peer fundraising platform, text and online donations platforms and a Sister School program that connects schools in Africa with schools in the United States under the theme of big cats. A World Lion Day forum was hosted by National Geographic, which brought together world leaders in conservation, including experts from the Society's Big Cats Initiative, to discuss trophy hunting and solutions to help protect big cats in the wild. The event was shared with the public via livestream. National Geographic Society CEO Gary E. Knell also marked the occasion by honoring three women leading the charge in lion conservation on his Medium blog and invited readers to join the fight to save lions and big cats. The National Geographic Photo Ark is a multiyear effort to raise awareness of and find solutions to some of the most pressing issues affecting wildlife and their habitats. The Photo Ark's three-pronged approach harnesses the power of National Geographic photography and the bold ideas of our explorers. Led by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore, the project aims to document every species living in the world's zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts. Joel Sartore started the Photo Ark in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, over a decade ago. Since then, Sartore, a world-renowned photographer, has visited 40 countries in his quest to create a photo archive of global biodiversity, which will feature portraits of an estimated 12,000 species of birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Once completed, the Photo Ark will serve as an important record of each animal's existence and a powerful testament to the importance of saving them. In 2016, Joel hit the halfway point in the project, photographing the 6,000th species in the Ark. No matter its size, each animal is treated with the same amount of affection and respect. The results are portraits that are not just stunningly beautiful, but intimate and moving. The National Geographic Photo Ark is a powerful tool to teach people of all ages about our planet's amazing biodiversity and foster a real connection to Earth's wildlife. The project engages students in the classroom through free educational materials and activities, and inspires the public through special exhibitions, books, TV specials, features in National Geographic magazine, and events around the world. An interactive digital experience allows people to engage with Photo Ark content on our website, explore animals in the collection, and share information about endangered species with their social networks. National Geographic is working to help species that are currently or will be featured in the Photo Ark, and species that are at risk. Building on National Geographic's 129-year history of investing in bold people and transformative ideas, the Photo Ark supports innovative, on-the-ground conservation projects designed to reduce human threats to wildlife, protect critical habitats, and create lasting change.

Out of Eden--Over the course of a decade, moving at the beat of his footsteps, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek is continuously re-walking the original 21,000-mile pathways of the first human ancestors who migrated out of Africa during the Stone Age. Guided by the latest scientific discoveries and propelled by insightful storytelling, Salopek's immensely long odyssey, called the Out of Eden Walk, is an exploration of the critical issues of our time-from climate change to technological innovation, from mass migration to cultural survival-as told through the lives of the ordinary people who inhabit these stories every day. In this way, he is reconnecting readers from across the globe with their common past-and with a vision of shared humanity that transcends borders, languages, politics, religions, and continents. In effect, the walk's "slow journalism" offers a thoughtful and innovative storytelling alternative to the shallower distractions of our wired, frenzied world. So far Salopek has trekked 10 million footsteps from Ethiopia to Central Asia. In the years ahead he will inch through India, China, Siberia, and the New World to his journey's finish line in chilly Tierra del Fuego, the last wild horizon trod by Homo sapiens.

| Desc | THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY'S EDUCATION PROGRAMS The National Geographic Society's Education Programs ignite the spirit of exploration in lifelong learners and support educators to ensure that the next generation is armed with geographic knowledge and global awareness. These programs include Explorer magazine, The National Geographic Bee, The National Geographic Education Foundation, Citizen Science, Giant Traveling Maps, State Geographic Alliances, and support for educators through training initiatives, grants, and curriculum, promoting global and geographic learning. Explorer magazine is a classroom magazine for elementary students providing authentic nonfiction content that showcases the adventures of National Geographic explorers and adapts their inspiring stories for young minds. Explorer's nonfiction content is engaging and supports national reading and science standards. Six leveled magazines engage students from Kindergarten through 5th grade in both print and digital formats. Each classroom subscription includes seven issues, starting in September, that arrive throughout the school year. Each issue of Explorer includes a free Teacher's Guide to help educators meet reading, language arts, and science standards; a free digital edition to view online or project in class; and each print issue includes a free classroom poster. The digital edition is a fully interactive version that is a complete multimedia experience with embedded videos, audio, and animations. Subscriptions for 2016 totaled 513,362. Of those subscriptions, 15,199 magazine subscriptions were underwritten by donor support. The National Geographic Bee is an academic competition for public schools, private schools, and home schools in the United States and its territories, as well as Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS). Students in grades 4-8 compete to win $90,000 in scholarships and other prizes. In 2016, more than 10,000 schools across the country held a National Geographic Bee, engaging 2.6 million students to learn about the world and how it works. Up to 100 school winners in each state went on to compete in the state competition, and the state champions traveled to Society headquarters in Washington, D.C., to compete in the National Finals. National Geographic created and distributed school Bee packets that included a question booklet, rules, participation certificates, and a champion medal. Additionally, the Society administered state competitions in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and created and disseminated question booklets, procedures, and prizes. The Bee culminated in 3 days of competition in Washington, D.C., in May. The last segment was the televised championship involving the 10 finalists. The National Geographic Society Education Foundation was established to commemorate the Society's centennial in 1988. With a mission "to support, promote and advance geographic education in the United States, Canada and elsewhere," the Foundation promotes improved teacher quality and classroom learning. Proposals are solicited from universities and other nonprofits for innovative projects. Since its inception, the Education Foundation has worked in programmatic partnership with other private donors and state governments to support university-hosted Geography Alliances-statewide partnerships between academic professors and K-12 teachers to provide professional development, networking, and more. In many cases, the Education Foundation supports individual Alliances through dedicated, state-specific endowments, called Geography Education Funds. While the Foundation emphasizes improvement of geographic literacy in the United States, select work is also supported in Canada. Citizen Science--A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. At a BioBlitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to get an overall count of the plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms that live in a place. In 2016, National Geographic supported 269 BioBlitzes, including events in 129 different units of the National Park Service. Every state was host to at least one BioBlitz, many of them supported by Alliances for Geographic Education. At least 100,000 people participated in citizen science through our BioBlitz program in 2016. The Giant Traveling Maps Program brings large (26' x 35') floor maps to schools across the U.S. The maps unroll on a gymnasium floor to allow students in grades K through 8 to explore a continent or an ocean using hands- and feet-on activities, props, and photographs. In 2016, twenty-one total maps of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, The Pacific, and the newly created Solar System map were in circulation during the academic year, reaching an estimated 70,000 students. In 2016, large scale maps of every state were added to the Giant Traveling Map family. Each state Alliance for Geographic education received two of these maps, reaching an estimated 35,000 students and 20,000 adults. CENGAGE LEARNING--National Geographic licenses the right to publish K-12 textbooks and English Language Teaching products to Cengage Learning under the National Geographic Learning trademark. National Geographic works closely with Cengage to ensure these products maintain the highest quality and inspire learners to explore the world. National Geographic Learning's products center on the unique stories of Society explorers, grantees, and photographers to engage learners. In 2016, National Geographic Learning reached nearly 3.4 million students domestically with Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Supplemental materials for the K-12 market. National Geographic Learning reached nearly 9 million students of all ages in over 92 countries with its English Language Teaching products. The Grosvenor Teacher Fellow (GTF) program is a professional development opportunity made possible by a partnership between Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Education. The program is named in honor of Gilbert M. Grosvenor, Chairman Emeritus National Geographic Society and Education Foundation Board member. It gives current K-12 classroom teachers and informal educators from the 50 U.S. states, Canada, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico the opportunity to extend Grosvenor's legacy of excellence in geographic education. Exemplary educators are recognized for their commitment to geographic education and given the opportunity to travel aboard the Lindblad-National Geographic fleet. Through this experience, they bring new geographic awareness into their learning environments and communities. In 2016, the program was funded by the LEX Fund and Google. National Geographic sent 35 educators on expeditions to regions including the Arctic, British and Irish Isles, Canadian Maritimes, Iceland, the Galapagos, Antarctica, and more. While aboard, Fellows shared the importance of geographic literacy with fellow travelers, developed activities to bring back to their classrooms, and had the adventure of a lifetime. Prior to the expedition, all 2016 Grosvenor Teacher Fellows traveled to Washington, D.C. for a pre-voyage workshop sponsored by Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic. GOOGLE-NGS TEACHER HACKATHON--Google Earth Outreach and NGS Education co-hosted a teacher hackathon event in Chicago, IL in 2016. Teachers from the Google Educator and NGS Educator networks were invited to complete a brief online application. From the applicant pool, 23 teachers were invited and attended from around the U.S. and Canada. About half of the attending teachers were from the Google educator network and half from the NGS educator network. At the event teachers learned about new Google mapping tools, National Geographic programs, and education resources. They also provided input on Google Earth, a tool that was in development at the time, and how Google and NGS could develop resources that would be useful to teachers in the classroom in the future. EDUCATION CONFERENCES--Education staff went to targeted professional conferences throughout 2016 to promote teacher materials, the natgeoed.org web site, teacher professional development programs and opportunities, the Bioblitz National Initiative, and Educator Certification. National Geographic Education had a booth presence, booth presentations, and workshop presentations as part of the regular conference schedule at the following events: -National Science Teachers Association conference in Nashville, TN -ASCD (curriculum developers and administrators) in Atlanta, GA -National Council for Geographic Education meeting in Tampa, FL -The Global Ed Forum in Philadelphia, PA -American Middle Level Educators conference in Austin, TX -National Council for the Social Studies conference in Washington, DC Education Program Description cont. on Sch.

Our goal is to identify, cultivate, and develop the world-changers of today and tomorrow by awarding grants to those who are pushing the boundaries of exploration and empowering the global community to generate solutions to change our world for the better. The Grant Programs are organized around the Society's three focus lenses: Our changing planet, Wildlife and wild places, and The Human Journey. These grants are given to early career and established scientists and explorers to support projects across the globe. The focus lens Our Changing Planet comprises projects looking at a spectacular variety of ever-changing ecosystems on land and in the sea. The dynamic systems of Earth and its oceans provide the energy, minerals, food, and water that sustain life on the planet, yet they are increasingly threatened by exploitation and mismanagement. Because our remarkable species can also provide solutions to environmental problems, we must understand these systems to develop more informed decisions. This lens seeks to reduce negative impacts on ecosystems, Earth processes, and human societies by increasing knowledge and inspiring action to develop effective solutions. Our Changing Planet supports innovative leaders in research, conservation, technology, education, and communication who seek a deeper understanding of Earth and its systems, as well as those who seek practical solutions for conserving large natural spaces on land and in the sea to promote long-term sustainability. In 2016, we awarded 164 grants in this area, including grants to the Alaska Whale Foundation to continue its important conservation work around Baranof Island in Southeast Alaska; Spanish paleontologist Soledad Domingo to excavate a rare and well-preserved fossil bone bed from 10 million years ago; and photographer Brian Skerry to document President Obama's efforts to create the world's largest marine protected area in the Pacific, featured in National Geographic magazine in 2016. The focus lens Wildlife and Wild Places includes projects on all living organisms, where they live, and the local evolutionary and ecological processes that sustain them. While extinction is a natural part of evolution, the current accelerated loss of species means that we need novel approaches and solutions that support biological diversity and abundance. This lens supports projects that seek to discover and identify species and ecosystems and to mitigate threats to Earth's life-forms. Projects will improve understanding of biological diversity, including behavior, life history, evolution, ecology, and habitat requirements. Wildlife and Wild Places supports innovative leaders in research, conservation, technology, education, and communication who will engage society and leverage action to protect the biological diversity of this planet. In 2016, we awarded 176 grants to support the study and protection of wildlife and wild places. These included grants to American biologist Elizabeth Anderson to research how the introduction of hippos is affecting the ecological health of a Colombian river; Mexican biologist Rodrigo Medellin, featured in the U.S. and Latin American National Geographic magazines, to observe the behavior of rare carnivorous bats; and photographer Steve Winter, also featured in National Geographic magazine, to document jaguar-human conflict in Brazil. The Human Journey lens focuses on learning more about who we are and what our future is on this planet. It supports projects in a range of fields that are helping us understand the origins and development of our species; how we modified and adapted to diverse landscapes across the globe; the evolution of cultures and societies; and the current status of and trends in our cultural, linguistic, and genetic diversity. Recognizing that human society is currently out of balance with the natural world, this lens also seeks projects that propose solutions to mitigate this imbalance. The Human Journey supports innovative leaders in research, conservation, technology, education, and communication who will change human attitudes and behaviors to help protect the cultural and natural resources of this planet and secure our future. In 2016, we awarded 137 grants in this focus lens, including grants to Isabella Apriyana, an Early Career Grantee from Indonesia searching her country for important evidence of early hominids; explorer Ben Ayers to research and document "the last Honey Hunters" of Nepal, featured in the July 2017 edition of National Geographic magazine; and Mexican underwater archaeologist Guillermo de Anda to begin a multifaceted research and conservation program around the Maya Aquifer of the Yucatan Peninsula. In 2016, The National Geographic Society awarded 100 Young Explorers grants. Since the program's inception in late 2006 through December 2016, 576 grants totaling $2,696,830 were awarded. The first Young Explorer Collaboration Grants were also awarded in 2016, encouraging partnerships across disciplines among previous Young Explorers Grantees. A series of National Geographic Young Explorers University Workshops were held in the United States and abroad in 2016. In April, a workshop was held at Yale University in conjunction with a Science and Storytelling Symposium on campus. The University of Wisconsin-Madison held a workshop in October for students interested in careers in science and exploration. The National Geographic Society staff also traveled to Singapore for a series of events at Yale-NUS College and Nanyang Technological University Singapore. Workshops have proven to be a successful recruitment tool for the Young Explorers Grants program in inspiring and identifying the next generation of explorers, researchers, and conservationists. In July, the second Young Explorers Meet-Up was held at National Geographic Society headquarters, focused on networking, training, mentorship, and collaboration. Nearly 50 Young Explorers of all disciplines gathered for four days to present their work to National Geographic Society staff and fellow explorers. Media and presentation training by the Society's communications team helped Young Explorers learn how to better share the importance of their work with a global audience. In October, we held two Hub Meet-Ups for Explorers in Denver and Los Angeles. These two-day events were pilots to test the value of bringing together more advanced Explorers with local educators and National Geographic Society stakeholders to share ideas and provide feedback on resources we could provide to empower local communities. |
| $7,135,514 | $0 | $1,413,368 | Other miscellaneous program administration--in addition to general program support and administration, this program area encompasses various miscellaneous program activities such as a joint effort by the National Geographic Society and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to draw attention to the pressing conservation issues facing our planet and propose solutions to solve them. As part of the partnership, the Society created a series of short, shareable videos highlighting the crucial conservation and development issues considered by IUCN Members at the 2016 Congress. Another miscellaneous service offered by the Society is its library. The National Geographic Library's reading room is open to the public by appointment, and our staffers respond to phone calls, letters, and emails. In 2016, they handled more than 100 queries from the public or scholars in 2016, and provided around 25+ tours to students, professional colleagues, and visitors, including groups from the National Park Service, Association of University Women, and the Society of Historical Archaeology. Librarians participated in regional interlibrary loan, loaning items from the physical collection to various D.C.-area libraries. The Library + Archives also helped students with History Day research, and hosted events for FedLink Librarians, Special Libraries Association, Council on Library & Information Resources, and D.C. Science Librarians. Also, hundreds of books were donated to Arlington, VA Title I schools as well as nonprofit organizations Turning the Page, D.C. Books to Prisons Project, and Better World Books. The Society also has a strong sustainability initiative. The National Geographic Society is committed to operating more sustainably in its own facilities and has expectations of sustainable operations from its suppliers, vendors, and partners. The Society's headquarters became the first LEED EB certified buildings in 2003 and, through the ongoing tracking of energy usage, maintenance activities, waste, and office and building supplies, the Society has maintained continuous LEED EB certification, rising from silver to gold in 2009. The Society has adopted a Corporate Responsibility Policy that it shares with employees, suppliers, vendors, and partners and is working toward four core company-wide sustainability goals: to become a carbon neutral company; to work toward zero landfill waste; to practice wise resource stewardship; and to have an engaged and healthy workforce. Becoming a Carbon Neutral Company The Society performs an annual carbon assessment of its Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions. The goal is to quantify carbon emissions from Society activities, reduce such emissions as much as possible, and offset emissions that cannot be eliminated. Business changes and sustainability efforts saw Society emissions, excluding offsets, decrease 29% from 2007 to 2015. The Society purchases wind Renewable Energy Certificates to offset all of the electrical usage of its buildings. Rainforest conservation offsets are purchased to cover emissions at the Society. Day-to-day operation of Society facilities is continually evaluated and improved to seek maximum energy efficiency. The Green Team works with the technology teams of the Society and tenants to keep computer hibernation and automated shutdown programs up to date and active to save energy. Versus 2003, electrical usage has been reduced by 16%, water usage by 34%, and natural gas usage by 21%. Rainforest conservation offsets are also purchased to help offset business travel emissions. Goal of Sending Zero Waste to the Landfill The Society seeks to reduce waste production at its headquarters and reuse, recycle, or compost as much unavoidable waste as possible. Employees and tenants are asked to share before they shop for office supplies, packaging material, furniture, books, and more. Employees, tenants, and guests are urged to use reusable dishware in the Cafe and Cafeteria and use refillable bottles at water fountains. Unneeded but still usable furniture, electronic equipment, office supplies, and older Nat Geo products are donated to local nonprofits for reuse. Recycling and composting is encouraged, and receptacles are readily available to employees, tenants and guests. Recycling streams include paper, metals, glass, plastics, electronics, salty snack bags, and construction materials. Centralized compost and recycling collection bins are being expanded throughout the campus and many desk side trash bins are voluntarily given up by employees to increase recycling and composting. Practicing the Wise Use of Resources Water Restoration Certificates are being purchased to offset water usage in our D.C. headquarters. Paper suppliers to the Society should provide paper from certified forestry sources and never from old-growth or high-conservation-value designated forests, and it should never be bleached with elemental chlorine. National Geographic Society activities and services will be legally and ethically conducted by treating employees, environments, and cultures with respect. Suppliers who provide manufacturing services to the Society are expected to follow Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production principles as defined by the United Nations Environmental Program--including such measures as awareness of and reduction in the use of hazardous materials, reuse of waste, and process modification. Only green-e certified cleaning products and non-VOC paints are used in the Society's complex. In addition, many of the building materials used in the Society are made from recycled material. Butterfly gardens and beehives on the headquarters grounds and rooftop support endangered species and educational efforts. Meatless Monday discounts are offered to all employees, tenants, and guests to promote consumption of less resource-intensive foods. An Engaged and Healthy Workforce Sustainability is a regular part of new employee orientation, and all employees are encouraged to join one of the Green Team subcommittees advising the Society on how to be more sustainable in its operations. All employees and tenants are encouraged to actively participate in and create the many sustainability events and initiatives on campus, including Earth Week, green markets, campus gardening, green newsletters, bike teams, staff beekeepers, and the Sustainability Leadership Network. Lessons learned from the workplace also help encourage healthier and more sustainable activities outside the office. The Society has been designated a bike-friendly workplace, encouraging bicycle commuting through the provision of sidewalk bike racks for the public, garaged bike racks for employees, a bike maintenance stand and air pump, lockers, showers, employee discounts at bike shops and bike sharing services, as well as serving as an official pit stop on Bike to Work Day. Carpooling and the use of low-emission vehicles are supported through parking discounts and charging spots for electric vehicles. Discounts with local car shares are offered to employees and tenants. Employees can also benefit from metro or bicycle commuting subsidies. Two exercise fitness rooms are available to all staff members and tenants. A rooftop herb garden staffed by Society employees supplies herbs to the Cafeteria. A local, sustainable farm sells CSA shares and runs a weekly farm stand in the headquarters courtyard throughout the summer, fall, and early winter that is available to all employees and the general public. Monthly, throughout the summer, a market is held in the courtyard featuring local and sustainable businesses. A "Swap Meet" is held three to four times a year in which employees can donate personal items they no longer want (e.g. clothes, books, toys, jewelry, small appliances) and take home items donated by others, with any remaining items donated to local charities. Employees and tenants can bring "difficult to recycle" CFLs and batteries from home to designated collection areas year-round and bring in personal electronics to annual e-cycling events. Achievements in 2016 - The Green Team was expanded to include employees and tenants - Transitioned to printing receipts by request in the Cafeteria - Added Jewelry Swaps to the annual Swap schedule - National Geographic Society employees joined the Anacostia Watershed Earth Day Clean Up - Green Team gardeners created community flower gardens on two headquarters balconies - A Society employee team rode in the NYC-DC Climate Ride - Held a Bike Summit at Society headquarters to engage bicycle commuters with security, medical, and facility staff |
| $6,334,763 | $1,599,528 | $23,638 | EXPLORER PROGRAMS The National Geographic Society nurtures and empowers the world's most innovative scientists, explorers, educators, and storytellers to help solve the planet's mysteries and challenges. The Explorer Programs consist of the Explorer-in-Residence program, the Emerging Explorer program, the National Geographic Fellows program, and the National Geographic Storytelling Bootcamp. The National Geographic Society created the Explorers-in-Residence program to develop and enhance its long-standing relationships with some of the world's preeminent scientists and storytellers. These explorers are dedicated to making notable advances in their respective fields and are highly regarded within scientific and exploration circles. National Geographic Explorers' groundbreaking discoveries fuel the kind of critical information, conservation initiatives, and compelling stories that are the hallmark of the National Geographic Society. National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence include Enric Sala, marine ecologist; Sylvia Earle, oceanographer; Bob Ballard, ocean explorer; Lee Berger, paleoanthropologist; Mike Fay, conservationist; Beverly and Dereck Joubert, filmmakers and conservationists; and Louise and Meave Leakey, paleontologists. The National Geographic Society's Emerging Explorer Program recognizes and supports uniquely gifted and inspiring scientists, conservationists, storytellers, and innovators-explorers who are already making a difference and changing the world. To help the emerging explorers realize their potential, The Society awards each of them $10,000 for research and exploration. The class of 2016 Emerging Explorers includes Asha de Vos, marine biologist and ocean educator; Marina Elliott, biological anthropologist; Gao Yufang, conservationist; Panut Hadisiswoyo, conservationist; Naftali Honig, wildlife crime investigator; Arthur Huang, engineer; Jedidah Isler, observational astrophysicist; Yukinori Kawae, archaeologist and egyptologist; David Lang, maker and writer; Jeffrey Marlow, geobiologist, writer, and educator; Thandiwe Mweetwa, lion biologist; Wasfia Nazreen, activist and climber; and Genevieve von Petzinger, paleoanthropologist. National Geographic Fellows provide expert consultation on active projects supported by the National Geographic society that have clear goals and deliverables. They lead novel, ambitious projects that promise to make an impact on the world. Focusing on collaboration with cross-divisional departments at the National Geographic Society, they deliver broad media impact during their term. They represent and illustrate the diversity of disciplines that the Society covers in its scientific and editorial efforts. National Geographic Fellows include Corey Jaskolski, engineer; Tom Lovejoy, tropical and conservation biologist; Sarah Parcak, archaeologist; Paul Salopek, writer; Joel Sartore, photographer; Bryan Christy, investigative reporter; Steve Boyes, conservation biologist; Jer Thorp, data artist; Shah Selbe, engineer and conservation technologist; Dan Buettner, author; Zeb Hogan, ecologist and photographer; and Mattias Klum, photographer and filmmaker. National Geographic Society's Storytelling Bootcamp is a four-day intensive course covering public speaking, narrative storytelling, videography, photography, social media, and writing and is taught by National Geographic magazine photographers, editors, and producers. Participants are taught to effectively communicate their work to audiences beyond peer-reviewed journals through compelling video, photos, and written stories from the field. The Stockholm and Rwanda Storytelling Bootcamps each hosted 20 participants; the Fulbright Bootcamp hosted 15 participants; and the Symposium Bootcamp hosted 40 people at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C. National Geographic Society's annual Explorers Week which engaged our members, donors, educators, scientists, grantees/explorers, and the public around the Society's commitment to investing in scientists, explorers, educators, and storytellers to change the world. We did this by expanding what was previously a two-day, internal-only Explorers Symposium to a week long, public-facing Explorers Week event that allowed the public to tune in to presentations, attend in-person meet-ups, and engage with the event through social platforms. We also piloted an educator/classroom program in the D.C. area. |
| $5,162,470 | $275,000 | $10,000 | CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE In 2016, the National Geographic Society Centers of Excellence focused on innovations and engagement around photography and mapping. Remote Imaging developed technology that helped scientists and explorers go further to uncover the mysteries of our world. Photocamp empowered young people to tell their stories and inspired them to become the storytellers of the future. The Great American Landscape project produced a visualization of land cover in the lower 48 states. the National Geographic society's Remote Imaging team helps National Geographic Society grantees and Explorers take their work further, developing and deploying novel tools for research, exploration, and conservation. 2016 was a busy and productive year with a diverse array of challenges, projects, and opportunities. In March, Remote Imaging (RI) staff deployed to Egypt to employ non-destructive GPR (ground-penetrating radar) in the most extensive survey of its kind ever done in the Valley of the Kings. This technology can allow archaeologists to non-destructively locate and evaluate hidden structures and features that might otherwise go undiscovered. We are building on this technology and experience to apply the technique to other sensitive archaeological sites around the world. Also in the field of non-invasive exploration, LIDAR and photogrammetric technology were combined to create an extremely highly detailed and physically accurate virtual representation of the Tomb of Christ in Jerusalem. This technique allows us to document an important site with an amazing level of detail, providing both a record of its current state for future reference and a way for both scientists and the public to "visit" this site from wherever in the world they may be. Another important tool in the study of historic structures and the people who inhabited them is the state of the art borescope, which was used to explore the ancient sewer systems under and around the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. A highly sophisticated exploration tool for use in delicate archaeological sites was constructed, which will allow researchers to access sealed-off sections of ancient sites with very little risk of damage or contamination. Able to penetrate more than a meter of solid stone, this device can provide scientists the opportunity to visually explore and even take samples from these spaces without significant physical intrusion. Remote Imaging's CRITTERCAM projects included urban wildlife studies of coyotes living around Chicago and feral cats in New Zealand. A new, tiny model Crittercam was deployed on Galapagos penguins--small enough not to over-burden the small birds--and bluefin tuna--which are huge but swim so fast that drag forces on any bulky instrument would just tear it right off. We conducted our largest ever field project, deploying 34 Crittercams on three species (elephants, waterbuck, and African buffalo) in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, helping researchers there build a picture of the ecology of the Park from the viewpoint of a variety of its inhabitants. The project was also a field test/demonstration of new, mesh-networked Crittercam systems, which can share information with each other to make smarter autonomous decisions while deployed. Deployments on lions with a Big Cats grantee in Botswana provided extremely intimate views of female lions with young cubs, providing him with a powerful tool in his mission to change attitudes towards lions in people who live in close proximity and haven't always had the best experiences with the big predators. In a new variant of animal-borne cameras, infrared systems for nocturnal recording were deployed on cows in Peru to document the feeding patterns of vampire bats. National Geographic Emerging Explorer Daniel Streicker is studying these bats to understand the transmission of rabies among the bats and ultimately the risk to people living in the areas where this disease is endemic. Our Deep-Ocean Dropcams continued to be a vital tool for exploration used by the Pristine Seas program. RI staff joined expeditions to Niue, Clipperton Atoll, and the Revillagigedo Islands, conducting several dozen deployments of this tool to explore deep ocean habitats. The Dropcams continue to provide volumes of rich images of seafloor life in these amazing marine oases, discovering new species and extending our understanding of the range and ecology of diverse marine organisms. We also received a pleasant surprise when a Dropcam that had been lost in 2013, after a deployment off the Florida coast during a study of pelagic communities, was amazingly discovered floating in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean by a French sailor, who rescued it and contacted our team. We met him in France and recovered the device, still functional and still full of data! Our new cousin to the Dropcam, the Driftcam (with an integrated buoyancy engine, allowing it to selectively visit and record data at various depths in mid-water--a huge, poorly understood volume of Earth's biosphere), was used near the Solomon Islands to document a bioluminescent phenomenon called Te Lapa. This activation of light-emitting organisms, possibly by the actions of currents around islands, is thought to be one of the techniques that allowed ancient Polynesian navigators to find tiny, isolated islands in the massive expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Our new Firecam system allows scientists and firefighting professionals to document and examine how fires develop and progress, and to evaluate the effectiveness of firefighting techniques, as never before possible. Remote Imaging projects feed scientific discovery, resulting in publications in top scientific journals as well as providing unique images that help capture the public's imagination and generate interest in science, exploration, and conservation. Our projects produce images and video that have contributed to many short-form pieces that reach millions through online and mobile media. Remote Imaging staff also participated directly in outreach on science, technology, and exploration at schools, universities, conferences, and other events across the country. PhotoCamp--National Geographic Society sponsored multiple PhotoCamps in the following locations in 2016: Montana, Shenandoah National Park (with refugee students from Baltimore), Cuba, and Rwanda. Our celebrated National Geographic Photographers who staffed these camps with faculty in 2016 included: David Guttenfelder, John Stanmeyer, Amy Toensing, Pete Muller, and Ronan Donovan. We reach underpriveledged youth and teach them to document their communities using the power of photography. Great American Landscape--the National Geographic Society partnered with GIS company Esri to produce a first-of-its-kind visualization of land cover in the United States. Using multiple datasets and variables, a map of the lower 48 states of the United States shows how valuable land is. Variables include such things as soil type, uniqueness, number of endemic species, cultural heritage, etc. The map produced by the National Geographic was published and distributed in the U.S. version of the December 2016 National Geographic magazine. There is also an online version on nationalgeographic.com. Extra copies were printed and are being used by our education team. |

| Schedule J, Part II NONTAXABLE BENEFITS | Components of benefits and deferred compensation provided to certain executives: life insurance, parking, 401(k), 457(b), dental & medical insurance, long-term disability, and travel/accident insurance. Below is a summary of all officers or key employees who had a severance clause in their respective employment contracts in 2016. These severance amounts are solely contingent upon an employee's involuntary termination without cause from the Society. As such, these amounts were not accrued or funded in any way and were considered unlikely to occur and did not occur in 2016. None of these amounts have been included in Column D. Gary E. Knell - 1.5 times base salary Brooke Runnette - 1 times base salary Chris Johns - 1 times base salary Tara Bunch - 1 times base salary Emma Carrasco - 1 times base salary |
| Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First-class or charter travel | The Society does not generally pay for first-class airfare. "First-class" refers to Society-paid full-fare first-class airfare. In 2016, one key employee flew first-class for one leg of a flight. No portion of this additional benefit was reported as taxable compensation to the recipient. |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Impact Initiatives cont. | one of the largest transboundary protected areas on the continent. The NGOWP is led by National Geographic Fellow Steve Boyes, who has built an interdisciplinary expedition team to explore the remote Angolan source rivers that feed the Delta. Starting in 2015 and slated to run through 2018, the NGOWP is surveying the river systems, collecting data and scientific insights to help determine strategies for protecting these essential waterways. In addition to building a case for conservation through expedition science, the team is focused on facilitating long-term, sustainable management of protected areas in Angola through helping to establish partnerships amoung governments, NGOs, and local communities. In 2016, the team explored over 21,000 square kilometers of the study area, concentrating on land- and river-based exploration of the source lakes and the Cuanavale river. This resulted in the cumulative identification of over 24 species potentially new to science. A panel presentation was held with the Angolan government in June as part of The United Nations Development Programme regional World Environment Day celebrations in Luanda and a preliminary report of results was submitted in November. Pristine Seas is an exploration, research, and media project inspired and led by National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala to help protect the last wild places in the oceans. This includes not only preserving areas that are pristine or near pristine, but also helping to restore areas that may have suffered some human impacts but still harbor unique features such as large animals, healthy bottom communities, and outstanding biodiversity. We envision a future ocean where representative examples of undisturbed ecosystems are protected from direct human activities, with the hope that these places will be healthier, more productive, and more resilient to the impacts of ocean warming and acidification. These protected areas will be the best baselines to understand the true magnitude of human impacts on ocean life, to evaluate the efficacy of management and conservation actions, and to help us determine what future ocean we want for our children and grandchildren. Pristine Seas has carried out expeditions in 23 places, 13 of which have since been protected, covering a total area of over 4.5 million square kilometers - more than six times the area of Texas. Over the next two years, Pristine Seas will target eight more locations to explore, aiming to inspire the protection of a total of 20 of the wildest places in the ocean by 2020. National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative (BCI) is a comprehensive, action-oriented program that supports on-the-ground big cat conservation projects and a global public awareness campaign, Cause an Uproar. This initiative supports the protection of lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, snow leopards, and other top felines that are quickly disappearing, all victims of habitat loss and degradation as well as conflict with humans. By the end of 2016, BCI awarded more than 100 grants covering 27 countries for a total of more than $3 Million. The BCI grants program has made important strides in helping communities understand and protect big cats. The Cause an Uproar campaign raises awareness and funds for BCI. BCI continues to offer several ways for public engagement, including free educator lesson plans, the "Build a Boma" peer-to-peer fundraising platform, text and online donations platforms, and a Sister School program that connects schools in Africa with schools in the United States under the theme of big cats. A World Lion Day forum was hosted by National Geographic Society, which brought together world leaders in conservation, including experts from the Society's Big Cats Initiative, to discuss trophy hunting and solutions to help protect big cats in the wild. The event was shared with the public at no charge via livestream. National Geographic Society CEO Gary E. Knell also marked the occasion by honoring three women leading the charge in lion conservation on his Medium blog and invited readers to join the fight to save lions and other big cats. The National Geographic Photo Ark is a multiyear effort to raise awareness of and find solutions to some of the most pressing issues affecting wildlife and their habitats. The Photo Ark's three-pronged approach harnesses the power of National Geographic photography and the bold ideas of our explorers. Led by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore, the project aims to document every species living in the world's zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts. Sartore started the Photo Ark in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, over a decade ago. Since then, Sartore, a world-renowned photographer, has visited 40 countries in his quest to create a photo archive of global biodiversity, which will feature portraits of an estimated 12,000 species of birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Once completed, the Photo Ark will serve as an important record of each animal's existence and a powerful testament to the importance of saving them. In 2016, Sartore hit the halfway point in the project, photographing the 6,000th species in the Ark. No matter its size, each animal is treated with the same amount of affection and respect. The results are portraits that are not just stunningly beautiful, but intimate and moving. The National Geographic Photo Ark is a powerful tool to teach people of all ages about our planet's amazing biodiversity and foster a real connection to Earth's wildlife. The project engages students in the classroom through free educational materials and activities, and inspires the public through special exhibitions, books, TV specials, features in National Geographic magazine, and events around the world. An interactive digital experience allows people to engage with Photo Ark content on our website, explore animals in the collection, and share information about endangered species with their social networks. The National Geographic Society is working to help species that are currently or will be featured in the Photo Ark and species that are at risk. Building on The Society's 128-year history of investing in bold people and transformative ideas, the Photo Ark supports innovative, on-the-ground conservation projects designed to reduce human threats to wildlife, protect critical habitats, and create lasting change.

Out of Eden--Over the course of a decade, moving at the beat of his footsteps, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and National Geographic Fellow Paul Salopek is continuously re-walking the original 21,000-mile pathways of the first human ancestors who migrated out of Africa during the Stone Age. Guided by the latest scientific discoveries and propelled by insightful storytelling, Salopek's immensely long odyssey, called the Out of Eden Walk, is an exploration of the critical issues of our time-from climate change to technological innovation, from mass migration to cultural survival-as told through the lives of the ordinary people who inhabit these stories every day. In this way, he is reconnecting readers from across the globe with their common past-and with a vision of shared humanity that transcends borders, languages, politics, religions, and continents. In effect, the walk's "slow journalism" offers a thoughtful and innovative storytelling alternative to the shallower distractions of our wired, frenzied world. So far, Salopek has trekked 10 million footsteps from Ethiopia to Central Asia. In the years ahead, he will inch through India, China, Siberia, and the New World to his journey's finish line in chilly Tierra del Fuego, the last wild horizon trod by Homo sapiens. Wildlife Tracking--Special Investigations Unit is a program designed to combat the wildlife trafficking crisis by actively investigating and reporting on wildlife crime. The unit is exploring the intensely challenging frontier of wildlife crime to expose transnational crime syndicates and their kingpins; to analyze policy in ways that engender fresh solutions; and to empower communities around the world to take action. This work is done in a combination of storytelling, capacity building, and engagement with general audiences to drive key influencers towards action. In 2016, the program continued publishing regular articles on its blog, Wildlife Watch. A forum, co-sponsored by the National Geographic Society and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, focused on wildlife trafficking and the challenges of enforcement. Attendees included field officers engaged in the fight against wildlife crime, policy experts, stakeholders, and representatives from communities around the world struggling to protect endangered animals and help those involved in the trade find jobs in wildlife protection. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Experiences & Outreach cont. | around the world. The National Geographic Museum welcomed 150,000 visitors in 2016, including 10,000 students and school groups. The Museum mounted four exhibitions and hosted public programming that complemented the exhibitions. In addition, the museum toured many of its exhibitions to locations around the world. The Museum hosted 48 community programs, including student matinee programs, evening lectures, panel discussions, and special film screenings that inspired, educated, and enriched the lives of thousands in the D.C. area. The audience for the museum includes National Geographic Society members, local residents, national and international tourists, military personnel, congressional members and staffs, the diplomatic community, school groups, and students from around the region and beyond. Many of the exhibitions that originate at the National Geographic Museum are then offered to other museums around the U.S. and internationally, so the audiences continue to grow for these projects even after they close in Washington. We began 2016 showcasing the work of National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore through "Photo Ark," an exhibition featuring large-format prints of species in need of greater conservation. Photo Ark is a multiyear initiative with a simple goal - to take portraits of all of the world's captive species, raise awareness about the extinction crisis, and inspire people to get involved in conservation efforts. The Museum opened a new exhibition in February created by Peeling Productions called "Crocs: Ancient Predators in a Modern World," which provided a unique and engaging window into the world of crocodiles. The exhibition featured the work of modern scientists, including several NGS grantees, and explored fascinating and rare species of Crocs from around the world. Summer brought the landmark exhibition on Greek history and culture, "The Greeks: From Agamemnon to Alexander the Great." Created in partnership with the Ministry of Culture in Athens, 21 of Greece's national museums, the Field Museum in Chicago, the Canadian Museum of History, and the Pointe a Calliere Museum in Montreal, the exhibition featured over 550 artifacts spanning 5,000 years of Greek history. It represented the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of its kind to come to North America in a generation. Washington, D.C., was the last stop on this impressive tour, with the exhibition running June 1 through October 9. The exhibition was accompanied by a three-hour documentary series produced by NG Studios that was broadcast in primetime on PBS in June. Additional exhibitions greeted visitors and patrons in our M Street lobby throughout the year. "Pristine Seas" documented the extraordinary conservation program led by NGS Explorer-in-Residence Enric Sala, and "Invisible Boundaries: Exploring Yellowstone's Great Animal Migrations," a partnership with The Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming, and the National Park Service, which featured the groundbreaking work of National Geographic photographer Joe Riis and National Geographic grantee and Yale scientist Arthur Middleton. The two have been tracking the migration patterns of the great elk of Yellowstone for over eight years. The exhibition coincided with the May issue of National Geographic magazine devoted to Yellowstone National Park. In November, NG Museum hosted the annual DC FotoWeek festival in partnership with FOTODC . The weeklong festival featured exhibitions of local photography as well as a series of special programs and events. TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS National Geographic traveling exhibitions were hosted by venues around the world in 2016. There were many photography shows, including "National Geographic at 125," "50 Greatest Photographs," "The World in B&W," "Polar Obsession," "President's Photographer," "Lions & Tigers & Bears," "Ocean Soul," and "Colors of the World." These exhibitions were held in various venues in 15 countries, including Canada, Mexico, Korea, Russia, Italy, Spain, Chile, Macedonia, Slovenia, and the Netherlands. In addition, the National Geographic exhibition "Birds of Paradise: Amazing Avian Evolution" was on view at the Perot Museum of Natural History in Dallas. "Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers on Assignment" was on view at the Orlando Museum of Art, the Field Museum in Chicago, and the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. "Monsterfish: In Search of the Last River Giants" was hosted by the Tennessee Aquarium, and "Spinosaurus: Lost Giant of the Cretaceous" was exhibited at the Natural History Museums in Berlin and Barcelona in 2016. NG Live, the Society's signature live event series had wonderful spring and fall seasons in 2016 featuring over 40 lectures by scientists, photographers, and special guests. A first annual free Family Day was hosted on President's Day in February. The museum hosted a special summer series in 2016 to complement the "Greeks" exhibition. The Summer of the Greeks featured special programming that included a Democracy Forum, programs on Greek food, architecture, and archaeology, and dramatic readings from ancient Greek texts including a program by Caroline Alexander on Homer's "The Iliad" as well as a special 9/11 production of "Theater of War" highlighting the powerful writings of Sophocles on the human toll of conflict and war. The National Geographic Museum store helps visitors take National Geographic home with them by offering captivating books and unique handmade products from around the globe as well as travel accessories that help guide them on their way. Many of the products come with "providence cards" containing descriptive histories educating the visitor about indigenous peoples or endangered species around the world. In 2016, the National Geographic Society Digital team made tremendous strides in expanding our digital platform to showcase and engage critical audiences around National Geographic's impact programs and initiatives. NatGeo.org saw a 70% increase in visitors . To expand the site to evolve for all National Geographic Society needs, the digital team initiated a new production and design framework with elegantly designed elements that allow efficient and beautiful page builds and reduces the investment required for each programmatic microsite by over 75%. Highlighted accomplishments include: -Over 30 components built and reused across programs -9 initiative site experiences built including: Okavango, Pristine Seas, Photo Ark, Museum Exhibitions and Events, Ways to Give, and Explorer Magazine subscriber experiences added to the site under a Site Information Architecture that is focused on an intuitive navigation for site visitors -Educator research to gather user insight into educator needs and online behavior to inform and prepare for the Education Strategy -Out of Eden Walk won a ""Min Web Award" for its editorial experience. The Society also produced videos for distribution on the National Geographic Society's digital platforms as well as for education programs and events. In 2016, a total of 759 videos were produced including 350 for digital distribution. The digital videos featuring the work of National Geographic Explorers, garnered over 70 million views across all social and digital platforms. This number includes 6 million views for Big Cats Initiative-specific videos. Additionally, videos were screened at global events such as UN World Wildlife Day and the International Union for Conservation of Nature. |

Each classroom subscription includes seven issues, starting in September, that arrive throughout the school year. Each issue of Explorer includes a free Teacher's Guide to help educators meet reading, language arts, and science standards; a free digital edition to view online or project in class; and each print issue includes a free classroom poster. The digital edition is a fully interactive version that is a complete multimedia experience with embedded videos, audio, and animations. Subscriptions for 2016 totaled 513,362, of which 15,199 were underwritten by donor support. The National Geographic Bee is an academic competition for public schools, private schools, and home schools in the U.S. and its territories. Students in grades 4-8 compete to win $90,000 in scholarships and other prizes. In 2016, more than 10,000 schools across the country held a Nat Geo Bee, engaging 2.6 million students to learn about the world and how it works. Up to 100 school winners in each state went on to compete in the state competition, and the state champions traveled to Society headquarters in D.C., to compete in the National Finals. The Society created and distributed school Bee packets that included a question booklet, rules, participation certificates, and a champion medal. Additionally, the Society administered state competitions in all 50 states plus D.C. and created and disseminated question booklets, procedures, and prizes. The Bee culminated in three days of competition in D.C. in May. The last segment was the televised championship involving the 10 finalists. The National Geographic Society Education Foundation Fund's mission is "to support, promote and advance geographic education in the U.S., Canada and elsewhere," the Foundation Fund promotes improved teacher quality and classroom learning. Proposals are solicited from universities and other nonprofits for innovative projects. Since its inception, the Education Foundation Fund has worked in programmatic partnership with other private donors and state governments to support university-hosted Geography Alliances-statewide partnerships between academic professors and K-12 teachers to provide professional development, networking, and more. In many cases, the Education Foundation Fund supports individual Alliances through dedicated, state-specific endowments called Geography Education Funds. While the Foundation Fund emphasizes improvement of geographic literacy in the U.S., select work is also supported in Canada. Citizen Science--A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. At a BioBlitz, scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members work together to get an overall count of the plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms that live in a place. In 2016, the Society supported 269 BioBlitzes, including events in 129 different units of the National Park Service. Every state was host to at least one BioBlitz, many of them supported by Alliances for Geographic Education. At least 100,000 people participated in citizen science through our BioBlitz program in 2016. The Giant Traveling Maps Program brings large (26' x 35') floor maps to schools across the U.S. The maps unroll on a gymnasium floor to allow students in grades K through 8 to explore a continent or an ocean using hands- and feet-on activities, props, and photographs. In 2016, 21 maps of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, The Pacific, and the newly created Solar System map were in circulation during the academic year, reaching an estimated 70,000 students. In 2016, large-scale maps of every state were added to the Giant Traveling Map family. Each state Alliance for Geographic education received two of these maps, reaching an estimated 35,000 students and 20,000 adults. CENGAGE LEARNING--the Society licenses the right to publish K-12 textbooks and English-Language Teaching products to Cengage Learning under the National Geographic Learning trademark. The Society works closely with Cengage to ensure these products maintain the highest quality and inspire learners to explore the world. National Geographic Learning's products center on the unique stories of Society explorers, grantees, and photographers to engage learners. In 2016, National Geographic Learning reached nearly 3.4 million students domestically with Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Supplemental materials for the K-12 market. National Geographic Learning reached nearly 9 million students of all ages in over 92 countries with its English-Language Teaching products. The Grosvenor Teacher Fellow program is a professional development opportunity made possible by a partnership between Lindblad Expeditions (LEX) and National Geographic Education. The program is named in honor of Gilbert M. Grosvenor, Chairman Emeritus of The National Geographic Society. It gives current K-12 classroom teachers and informal educators from the 50 U.S. states, Canada, D.C., and Puerto Rico the opportunity to extend Grosvenor's legacy of excellence in geographic education. Exemplary educators are recognized for their commitment to geographic education and given the opportunity to travel aboard a Lindblad-National Geographic trip. Through this experience, they bring new geographic awareness into their learning environments and communities. In 2016, the program was funded by the LEX Fund and Google. The Society sent 35 educators on expeditions to regions including the Arctic, British and Irish Isles, Canadian Maritimes, Iceland, the Galapagos, Antarctica, and more. While aboard, Fellows shared the importance of geographic literacy with fellow travelers, developed activities to bring back to their classrooms, and had the adventure of a lifetime. Prior to the expedition, all 2016 Grosvenor Teacher Fellows traveled to D.C. for a pre-voyage workshop sponsored by Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Society. GOOGLE-NGS TEACHER--Google Earth Outreach and NGS Education co-hosted a teacher event in Chicago in 2016. Teachers from the Google Educator and NGS Educator networks were invited to complete a brief online application. From the applicant pool, 23 teachers from around the U.S. and Canada were invited to attend the event. About half of the attending teachers were from the Google educator network and half from the Society educator network. At the event, teachers learned about new Google mapping tools, National Geographic Society programs, and education resources. They also provided input on Google Earth, a tool that was in development at the time, and how Google and the Society could develop resources that would be useful to teachers in the classroom in the future. EDUCATION CONFERENCES--Education staff went to targeted professional conferences throughout 2016 to promote teacher materials, the natgeoed.org website, teacher professional development programs and opportunities, the Bioblitz National Initiative, and Educator Certification. National Geographic Education had a booth presence, booth presentations, and workshop presentations as part of the regular conference schedule at the following events: -National Science Teachers Association conference in Nashville, TN -ASCD (curriculum developers and administrators) in Atlanta, GA -National Council for Geographic Education meeting in Tampa, FL -The Global Ed Forum in Philadelphia, PA -American Middle Level Educators conference in Austin, TX -National Council for the Social Studies conference in Washington, DC The Nat Geo Educator Certification Program is a free program for Pre K-12 formal and informal educators that connects them with National Geographic Society and a community of like-minded peers. The purpose of the program is to build affinity with educators and get them excited about doing lessons and activities with their students that are connected to The Society's Learning Framework. These educators become part of the Society's digital community, stay connected with the Society and each other, and begin to take on leadership roles. There are three phases to the program. During the first phase, an educator takes a 1.5-hour workshop rooted in National Geographic Society's Learning Framework. During the second phase, an educator implements two activities with students designed to promote global and geographic learning. During the third phase, an educator submits a multimedia capstone project about the activities that includes a written reflection, photos of student work, and a three-to-five minute video. The program launched as a beta program in the fall of 2015 with 46 educators. In 2016, 217 educators became certified, and an online version of the program was launched in June. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services | (Expenses $ 14,643,001 including grants of $ 8,790,912)(Revenue $ 150,000) THE GRANTS PROGRAMS The National Geographic Society invests in bold people and transformative ideas in the fields of conservation, education, research, storytelling, and technology. Our goal is to identify, cultivate, and develop the world-changers of today and tomorrow by awarding grants to those who are pushing the boundaries of exploration and empowering the global community to generate solutions to change our world for the better. The Grant Programs are organized around the Society's three focus lenses: Our changing planet, Wildlife and wild places, and The Human Journey. These grants are given to early career and established scientists and explorers to support projects across the globe. The focus lens Our Changing Planet comprises projects looking at a spectacular variety of ever-changing ecosystems on land and in the sea. The dynamic systems of Earth and its oceans provide the energy, minerals, food, and water that sustain life on the planet, yet they are increasingly threatened by exploitation and mismanagement. Because our remarkable species can also provide solutions to environmental problems, we must understand these systems to develop more informed decisions. This lens seeks to reduce negative impacts on ecosystems, Earth processes, and human societies by increasing knowledge and inspiring action to develop effective solutions. Our Changing Planet supports innovative leaders in research, conservation, technology, education, and communication who seek a deeper understanding of Earth and its systems, as well as those who seek practical solutions for conserving large natural spaces on land and in the sea to promote long-term sustainability. In 2016, we awarded 164 grants in this area, including grants to the Alaska Whale Foundation to continue its important conservation work around Baranof Island in Southeast Alaska; Spanish paleontologist Soledad Domingo to excavate a rare and well-preserved fossil bone bed from 10 million years ago; and photographer Brian Skerry to document President Obama's efforts to create the world's largest marine protected area in the Pacific, featured in National Geographic magazine in 2016. The focus lens Wildlife and Wild Places includes projects on all living organisms, where they live, and the local evolutionary and ecological processes that sustain them. While extinction is a natural part of evolution, the current accelerated loss of species means that we need novel approaches and solutions that support biological diversity and abundance. This lens supports projects that seek to discover and identify species and ecosystems and to mitigate threats to Earth's life-forms. Projects will improve understanding of biological diversity, including behavior, life history, evolution, ecology, and habitat requirements. Wildlife and Wild Places supports innovative leaders in research, conservation, technology, education, and communication who will engage society and leverage action to protect the biological diversity of this planet. In 2016, we awarded 176 grants to support the study and protection of wildlife and wild places. These included grants to American biologist Elizabeth Anderson to research how the introduction of hippos is affecting the ecological health of a Colombian river; Mexican biologist Rodrigo Medellin, featured in the U.S. and Latin American National Geographic magazines, to observe the behavior of rare carnivorous bats; and photographer Steve Winter, also featured in National Geographic magazine, to document jaguar-human conflict in Brazil. The Human Journey lens focuses on learning more about who we are and what our future is on this planet. It supports projects in a range of fields that are helping us understand the origins and development of our species; how we modified and adapted to diverse landscapes across the globe; the evolution of cultures and societies; and the current status of and trends in our cultural, linguistic, and genetic diversity. Recognizing that human society is currently out of balance with the natural world, this lens also seeks projects that propose solutions to mitigate this imbalance. The Human Journey supports innovative leaders in research, conservation, technology, education, and communication who will change human attitudes and behaviors to help protect the cultural and natural resources of this planet and secure our future. In 2016, we awarded 137 grants in this focus lens, including grants to Isabella Apriyana, an Early Career Grantee from Indonesia searching her country for important evidence of early hominids; explorer Ben Ayers to research and document "the last Honey Hunters" of Nepal, featured in the July 2017 edition of National Geographic magazine; and Mexican underwater archaeologist Guillermo de Anda to begin a multifaceted research and conservation program around the Maya Aquifer of the Yucatan Peninsula. In 2016, The National Geographic Society awarded 100 Young Explorers grants. Since the program's inception in late 2006 through December 2016, 576 grants totaling $2,696,830 were awarded. The first Young Explorer Collaboration Grants were also awarded in 2016, encouraging partnerships across disciplines among previous Young Explorers Grantees. A series of National Geographic Young Explorers University Workshops were held in the United States and abroad in 2016. In April, a workshop was held at Yale University in conjunction with a Science and Storytelling Symposium on campus. The University of Wisconsin-Madison held a workshop in October for students interested in careers in science and exploration. The National Geographic Society staff also traveled to Singapore for a series of events at Yale-NUS College and Nanyang Technological University Singapore. Workshops have proven to be a successful recruitment tool for the Young Explorers Grants program in inspiring and identifying the next generation of explorers, researchers, and conservationists. In July, the second Young Explorers Meet-Up was held at National Geographic Society headquarters, focused on networking, training, mentorship, and collaboration. Nearly 50 Young Explorers of all disciplines gathered for four days to present their work to National Geographic Society staff and fellow explorers. Media and presentation training by the Society's communications team helped Young Explorers learn how to better share the importance of their work with a global audience. In October, we held two Hub Meet-Ups for Explorers in Denver and Los Angeles. These two-day events were pilots to test the value of bringing together more advanced Explorers with local educators and National Geographic Society stakeholders to share ideas and provide feedback on resources we could provide to empower local communities. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services | (Expenses $ 7,135,514 including grants of $ 0)(Revenue $ 1,413,368) Other miscellaneous program administration--in addition to general program support and administration, this program area encompasses various miscellaneous program activities such as a joint effort by the National Geographic Society and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to draw attention to the pressing conservation issues facing our planet and propose solutions to solve them. As part of the partnership, the Society created a series of short, shareable videos highlighting the crucial conservation and development issues considered by IUCN Members at the 2016 Congress. Another miscellaneous service offered by the Society is its library. The National Geographic Library's reading room is open to the public by appointment, and our staffers respond to phone calls, letters, and emails. In 2016, they handled more than 100 queries from the public or scholars in 2016, and provided around 25+ tours to students, professional colleagues, and visitors, including groups from the National Park Service, Association of University Women, and the Society of Historical Archaeology. Librarians participated in regional interlibrary loan, loaning items from the physical collection to various D.C.-area libraries. The Library + Archives also helped students with History Day research, and hosted events for FedLink Librarians, Special Libraries Association, Council on Library & Information Resources, and D.C. Science Librarians. Also, hundreds of books were donated to Arlington, VA Title I schools as well as nonprofit organizations Turning the Page, D.C. Books to Prisons Project, and Better World Books. The Society also has a strong sustainability initiative. The National Geographic Society is committed to operating more sustainably in its own facilities and has expectations of sustainable operations from its suppliers, vendors, and partners. The Society's headquarters became the first LEED EB certified buildings in 2003 and, through the ongoing tracking of energy usage, maintenance activities, waste, and office and building supplies, the Society has maintained continuous LEED EB certification, rising from silver to gold in 2009. The Society has adopted a Corporate Responsibility Policy that it shares with employees, suppliers, vendors, and partners and is working toward four core company-wide sustainability goals: to become a carbon neutral company; to work toward zero landfill waste; to practice wise resource stewardship; and to have an engaged and healthy workforce. Becoming a Carbon Neutral Company The Society performs an annual carbon assessment of its Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions. The goal is to quantify carbon emissions from Society activities, reduce such emissions as much as possible, and offset emissions that cannot be eliminated. Business changes and sustainability efforts saw Society emissions, excluding offsets, decrease 29% from 2007 to 2015. The Society purchases wind Renewable Energy Certificates to offset all of the electrical usage of its buildings. Rainforest conservation offsets are purchased to cover emissions at the Society. Day-to-day operation of Society facilities is continually evaluated and improved to seek maximum energy efficiency. The Green Team works with the technology teams of the Society and tenants to keep computer hibernation and automated shutdown programs up to date and active to save energy. Versus 2003, electrical usage has been reduced by 16%, water usage by 34%, and natural gas usage by 21%. Rainforest conservation offsets are also purchased to help offset business travel emissions. Goal of Sending Zero Waste to the Landfill The Society seeks to reduce waste production at its headquarters and reuse, recycle, or compost as much unavoidable waste as possible. Employees and tenants are asked to share before they shop for office supplies, packaging material, furniture, books, and more. Employees, tenants, and guests are urged to use reusable dishware in the Cafe and Cafeteria and use refillable bottles at water fountains. Unneeded but still usable furniture, electronic equipment, office supplies, and older Nat Geo products are donated to local nonprofits for reuse. Recycling and composting is encouraged, and receptacles are readily available to employees, tenants and guests. Recycling streams include paper, metals, glass, plastics, electronics, salty snack bags, and construction materials. Centralized compost and recycling collection bins are being expanded throughout the campus and many desk side trash bins are voluntarily given up by employees to increase recycling and composting. Practicing the Wise Use of Resources Water Restoration Certificates are being purchased to offset water usage in our D.C. headquarters. Paper suppliers to the Society should provide paper from certified forestry sources and never from old-growth or high-conservation-value designated forests, and it should never be bleached with elemental chlorine. National Geographic Society activities and services will be legally and ethically conducted by treating employees, environments, and cultures with respect. Suppliers who provide manufacturing services to the Society are expected to follow Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production principles as defined by the United Nations Environmental Program--including such measures as awareness of and reduction in the use of hazardous materials, reuse of waste, and process modification. Only green-e certified cleaning products and non-VOC paints are used in the Society's complex. In addition, many of the building materials used in the Society are made from recycled material. Butterfly gardens and beehives on the headquarters grounds and rooftop support endangered species and educational efforts. Meatless Monday discounts are offered to all employees, tenants, and guests to promote consumption of less resource-intensive foods. An Engaged and Healthy Workforce Sustainability is a regular part of new employee orientation, and all employees are encouraged to join one of the Green Team subcommittees advising the Society on how to be more sustainable in its operations. All employees and tenants are encouraged to actively participate in and create the many sustainability events and initiatives on campus, including Earth Week, green markets, campus gardening, green newsletters, bike teams, staff beekeepers, and the Sustainability Leadership Network. Lessons learned from the workplace also help encourage healthier and more sustainable activities outside the office. The Society has been designated a bike-friendly workplace, encouraging bicycle commuting through the provision of sidewalk bike racks for the public, garaged bike racks for employees, a bike maintenance stand and air pump, lockers, showers, employee discounts at bike shops and bike sharing services, as well as serving as an official pit stop on Bike to Work Day. Carpooling and the use of low-emission vehicles are supported through parking discounts and charging spots for electric vehicles. Discounts with local car shares are offered to employees and tenants. Employees can also benefit from metro or bicycle commuting subsidies. Two exercise fitness rooms are available to all staff members and tenants. A rooftop herb garden staffed by Society employees supplies herbs to the Cafeteria. A local, sustainable farm sells CSA shares and runs a weekly farm stand in the headquarters courtyard throughout the summer, fall, and early winter that is available to all employees and the general public. Monthly, throughout the summer, a market is held in the courtyard featuring local and sustainable businesses. A "Swap Meet" is held three to four times a year in which employees can donate personal items they no longer want (e.g. clothes, books, toys, jewelry, small appliances) and take home items donated by others, with any remaining items donated to local charities. Employees and tenants can bring "difficult to recycle" CFLs and batteries from home to designated collection areas year-round and bring in personal electronics to annual e-cycling events. Achievements in 2016 - The Green Team was expanded to include employees and tenants - Transitioned to printing receipts by request in the Cafeteria - Added Jewelry Swaps to the annual Swap schedule - National Geographic Society employees joined the Anacostia Watershed Earth Day Clean Up - Green Team gardeners created community flower gardens on two headquarters balconies - A Society employee team rode in the NYC-DC Climate Ride - Held a Bike Summit at Society headquarters to engage bicycle commuters with security, medical, and facility staff |

The Explorer Programs consist of the Explorer-in-Residence program, the Emerging Explorer program, the National Geographic Fellows program, and the National Geographic Storytelling Bootcamp. The National Geographic Society created the Explorers-in-Residence program to develop and enhance its long-standing relationships with some of the world's preeminent scientists and storytellers. These explorers are dedicated to making notable advances in their respective fields and are highly regarded within scientific and exploration circles. National Geographic Explorers' groundbreaking discoveries fuel the kind of critical information, conservation initiatives, and compelling stories that are the hallmark of the National Geographic Society. National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence include Enric Sala, marine ecologist; Sylvia Earle, oceanographer; Bob Ballard, ocean explorer; Lee Berger, paleoanthropologist; Mike Fay, conservationist; Beverly and Dereck Joubert, filmmakers and conservationists; and Louise and Meave Leakey, paleontologists. The National Geographic Society's Emerging Explorer Program recognizes and supports uniquely gifted and inspiring scientists, conservationists, storytellers, and innovators-explorers who are already making a difference and changing the world. To help the emerging explorers realize their potential, The Society awards each of them $10,000 for research and exploration. The class of 2016 Emerging Explorers includes Asha de Vos, marine biologist and ocean educator; Marina Elliott, biological anthropologist; Gao Yufang, conservationist; Panut Hadisiswoyo, conservationist; Naftali Honig, wildlife crime investigator; Arthur Huang, engineer; Jedidah Isler, observational astrophysicist; Yukinori Kawae, archaeologist and egyptologist; David Lang, maker and writer; Jeffrey Marlow, geobiologist, writer, and educator; Thandiwe Mweetwa, lion biologist; Wasfia Nazreen, activist and climber; and Genevieve von Petzinger, paleoanthropologist. National Geographic Fellows provide expert consultation on active projects supported by the National Geographic society that have clear goals and deliverables. They lead novel, ambitious projects that promise to make an impact on the world. Focusing on collaboration with cross-divisional departments at the National Geographic Society, they deliver broad media impact during their term. They represent and illustrate the diversity of disciplines that the Society covers in its scientific and editorial efforts. National Geographic Fellows include Corey Jaskolski, engineer; Tom Lovejoy, tropical and conservation biologist; Sarah Parcak, archaeologist; Paul Salopek, writer; Joel Sartore, photographer; Bryan Christy, investigative reporter; Steve Boyes, conservation biologist; Jer Thorp, data artist; Shah Selbe, engineer and conservation technologist; Dan Buettner, author; Zeb Hogan, ecologist and photographer; and Mattias Klum, photographer and filmmaker. National Geographic Society's Storytelling Bootcamp is a four-day intensive course covering public speaking, narrative storytelling, videography, photography, social media, and writing and is taught by National Geographic magazine photographers, editors, and producers. Participants are taught to effectively communicate their work to audiences beyond peer-reviewed journals through compelling video, photos, and written stories from the field. The Stockholm and Rwanda Storytelling Bootcamps each hosted 20 participants; the Fulbright Bootcamp hosted 15 participants; and the Symposium Bootcamp hosted 40 people at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C. National Geographic Society's annual Explorers Week which engaged our members, donors, educators, scientists, grantees/explorers, and the public around the Society's commitment to investing in scientists, explorers, educators, and storytellers to change the world. We did this by expanding what was previously a two-day, internal-only Explorers Symposium to a week long, public-facing Explorers Week event that allowed the public to tune in to presentations, attend in-person meet-ups, and engage with the event through social platforms. We also piloted an educator/classroom program in the D.C. area. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services | (Expenses $ 5,162,470 including grants of $ 275,000)(Revenue $ 10,000) CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE In 2016, the National Geographic Society Centers of Excellence focused on innovations and engagement around photography and mapping. Remote Imaging developed technology that helped scientists and explorers go further to uncover the mysteries of our world. Photocamp empowered young people to tell their stories and inspired them to become the storytellers of the future. The Great American Landscape project produced a visualization of land cover in the lower 48 states. the National Geographic society's Remote Imaging team helps National Geographic Society grantees and Explorers take their work further, developing and deploying novel tools for research, exploration, and conservation. 2016 was a busy and productive year with a diverse array of challenges, projects, and opportunities. In March, Remote Imaging (RI) staff deployed to Egypt to employ non-destructive GPR (ground-penetrating radar) in the most extensive survey of its kind ever done in the Valley of the Kings. This technology can allow archaeologists to non-destructively locate and evaluate hidden structures and features that might otherwise go undiscovered. We are building on this technology and experience to apply the technique to other sensitive archaeological sites around the world. Also in the field of non-invasive exploration, LIDAR and photogrammetric technology were combined to create an extremely highly detailed and physically accurate virtual representation of the Tomb of Christ in Jerusalem. This technique allows us to document an important site with an amazing level of detail, providing both a record of its current state for future reference and a way for both scientists and the public to "visit" this site from wherever in the world they may be. Another important tool in the study of historic structures and the people who inhabited them is the state of the art borescope, which was used to explore the ancient sewer systems under and around the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. A highly sophisticated exploration tool for use in delicate archaeological sites was constructed, which will allow researchers to access sealed-off sections of ancient sites with very little risk of damage or contamination. Able to penetrate more than a meter of solid stone, this device can provide scientists the opportunity to visually explore and even take samples from these spaces without significant physical intrusion. Remote Imaging's CRITTERCAM projects included urban wildlife studies of coyotes living around Chicago and feral cats in New Zealand. A new, tiny model Crittercam was deployed on Galapagos penguins--small enough not to over-burden the small birds--and bluefin tuna--which are huge but swim so fast that drag forces on any bulky instrument would just tear it right off. We conducted our largest ever field project, deploying 34 Crittercams on three species (elephants, waterbuck, and African buffalo) in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, helping researchers there build a picture of the ecology of the Park from the viewpoint of a variety of its inhabitants. The project was also a field test/demonstration of new, mesh-networked Crittercam systems, which can share information with each other to make smarter autonomous decisions while deployed. Deployments on lions with a Big Cats grantee in Botswana provided extremely intimate views of female lions with young cubs, providing him with a powerful tool in his mission to change attitudes towards lions in people who live in close proximity and haven't always had the best experiences with the big predators. In a new variant of animal-borne cameras, infrared systems for nocturnal recording were deployed on cows in Peru to document the feeding patterns of vampire bats. National Geographic Emerging Explorer Daniel Streicker is studying these bats to understand the transmission of rabies among the bats and ultimately the risk to people living in the areas where this disease is endemic. Our Deep-Ocean Dropcams continued to be a vital tool for exploration used by the Pristine Seas program. RI staff joined expeditions to Niue, Clipperton Atoll, and the Revillagigedo Islands, conducting several dozen deployments of this tool to explore deep ocean habitats. The Dropcams continue to provide volumes of rich images of seafloor life in these amazing marine oases, discovering new species and extending our understanding of the range and ecology of diverse marine organisms. We also received a pleasant surprise when a Dropcam that had been lost in 2013, after a deployment off the Florida coast during a study of pelagic communities, was amazingly discovered floating in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean by a French sailor, who rescued it and contacted our team. We met him in France and recovered the device, still functional and still full of data! Our new cousin to the Dropcam, the Driftcam (with an integrated buoyancy engine, allowing it to selectively visit and record data at various depths in mid-water--a huge, poorly understood volume of Earth's biosphere), was used near the Solomon Islands to document a bioluminescent phenomenon called Te Lapa. This activation of light-emitting organisms, possibly by the actions of currents around islands, is thought to be one of the techniques that allowed ancient Polynesian navigators to find tiny, isolated islands in the massive expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Our new Firecam system allows scientists and firefighting professionals to document and examine how fires develop and progress, and to evaluate the effectiveness of firefighting techniques, as never before possible. Remote Imaging projects feed scientific discovery, resulting in publications in top scientific journals as well as providing unique images that help capture the public's imagination and generate interest in science, exploration, and conservation. Our projects produce images and video that have contributed to many short-form pieces that reach millions through online and mobile media. Remote Imaging staff also participated directly in outreach on science, technology, and exploration at schools, universities, conferences, and other events across the country. PhotoCamp--National Geographic Society sponsored multiple PhotoCamps in the following locations in 2016: Montana, Shenandoah National Park (with refugee students from Baltimore), Cuba, and Rwanda. Our celebrated National Geographic Photographers who staffed these camps with faculty in 2016 included: David Guttenfelder, John Stanmeyer, Amy Toensing, Pete Muller, and Ronan Donovan. We reach underpriveledged youth and teach them to document their communities using the power of photography. Great American Landscape--the National Geographic Society partnered with GIS company Esri to produce a first-of-its-kind visualization of land cover in the United States. Using multiple datasets and variables, a map of the lower 48 states of the United States shows how valuable land is. Variables include such things as soil type, uniqueness, number of endemic species, cultural heritage, etc. The map produced by the National Geographic was published and distributed in the U.S. version of the December 2016 National Geographic magazine. There is also an online version on nationalgeographic.com. Extra copies were printed and are being used by our education team. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 4 Significant changes to organizational documents | Summary of Revisions to National Geographic Society Bylaws: On June 7, 2016, the Board of Trustees approved a revised and restated set of Bylaws. Key items in the revision include the following: 1. Addition of new term limits and setting of board classes. a. Term Limits are now a maximum of three consecutive four-year terms i. This is different from the term limits that were in effect until the end of 2015, which provided for three consecutive four-year terms, but also provided for a possible additional four-year term after leaving the board for one year or more ii. Re-election for each additional four-year term is not automatic b. Board classes for the current trustees to stagger terms are set forth in the "Schedule of Board Classes." They generally approximate the maximum term terms that were in effect until the end of 2015, but without the additional four-year term after leaving the board for a year or more 2. Addition of age limit of 75 years; does not apply to current trustees 3. Clarification of voting process - ex officio members vote, and generally a majority vote is required 4. Simplification of resignation procedure 5. Indemnification provision revised to authorize indemnification of non-Trustee members of committees 6. Chairman to be an ex officio member of Compensation Committee so long as Chairman is neither a member of management nor compensated by the Society 7. Addition of description of Chief Financial Officer, and clarification that CFO and Treasurer can be the same person |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body | The Society's Form 990 was prepared by tax and financial staff at the Society, and was reviewed by senior management, including the CFO, Chief Legal Officer and the President and CEO. It was also reviewed by the Society's outside tax advisors. A draft of this Form 990 was provided to the full Board of Trustees for comments and questions, and a conference call was held in which all Board members had an opportunity to participate in commenting and addressing any questions or issues about the draft 990. The Form 990, including any revisions resulting from the call, was then provided to each of the Trustees for any additional questions, comments, or input before it was filed with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | As a nonprofit organization, employer, and responsible citizen, the National Geographic Society performs a variety of important educational and business functions. The Society wishes to meet its obligations in all of these areas in a manner that earns the respect of its members, charitable donors, employees, and the general public. Two basic principles apply: The Society will conduct every aspect of its business in a fair, lawful, and ethical manner. The Society will maintain a climate that encourages all employees, officers, directors and trustees to be honest and fair in the conduct of their duties. The responsibility for ethical conduct rests with the trustees, directors, officers, and employees who act in its name. All individuals must comply with the law, both when acting on behalf of the Society and in their personal conduct. In areas not covered by laws or regulations, the Society expects its representatives to conduct themselves in an ethical and fair manner. Policies spelled out in this statement may also apply to members of your immediate family; their actions could involve a conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, in violation of your responsibilities under this policy. The following applies to all employees, officers, directors and trustees of the National Geographic Society relating to their activities on the Society's behalf: I. Gifts and Gratuities 1. Individuals may not solicit, directly or indirectly, any gift, favor, loan, entertainment, or other remuneration, or accept any excessive gift, favor, loan, entertainment, or other remuneration, from any person or organization that engages in business with, or is a competitor of, the Society (or any of its divisions), for himself, herself, or for any other person. ("Excessive" value is any item or group of items over $50 in value. That means that any item or group of items that exceeds $50 is considered of "substantial value" and should be refused). 2. Individuals shall neither give nor pay, directly or indirectly, to any person or organization that engages in business with the Society, any gift, favor, loan, or entertainment, except within reasonable limits adopted from time to time by the Society. 3. All invitations to accept bribery or graft (kickbacks, etc.) or any proposal or suggestion of a similar nature must be reported immediately to the employee's division manager, who in turn must report the matter to the Human Resources Division. Reports should be made to the Secretary or President of the Society in the case of a director or trustee. Nondisclosure of even a rejected proposal of bribery or graft or suggestion of a similar nature shall be reason for severe disciplinary action. 4. Employees involved in purchasing decisions must take extra care to avoid gifts or gratuities that may affect or may reasonably be construed to affect the purchase of equipment, supplies, and services. II. Financial Interests, Including Investments 1. Employees, officers, directors or trustees shall not have, directly or indirectly, an interest in any firm, business, or organization that engages in business with the Society, unless such interest is disclosed to and approved by the Society. 2. Employees, officers, directors or trustees shall not have, directly or indirectly, any financial interest in any competitor of the Society. 3. Employees, officers, directors or trustees may not act on behalf of the Society in connection with any transaction in which the employee, officer, director or trustee has a personal interest. Minor outside business interests (for example, stock ownership in publicly traded corporations) may be permitted. Any employee involved in purchasing decisions must take care that no member of his or her immediate family has, directly or indirectly, an interest in or is employed by a firm that engages in purchasing-related business with the Society, unless such interest is disclosed to and approved by the Society. III. Additional Employment and Other Outside Activity All outside activity, such as employment (including self-employment) or professional, business or community activity, must be undertaken within the fundamental premise that the employee's primary responsibility is to the Society and that the activity will not interfere with his or her ability to discharge this responsibility. Each employee must ensure that any outside activity: is compatible with the full and proper discharge of the responsibilities of his or her Society employment; will not be construed by the public as the official action of the Society; will not adversely affect the Society; will not draw upon any of the Society's resources without advance approval; will not create or give the appearance of a conflict of interest. If an activity does not interfere with the performance of one's duties or the employees' responsibility to the Society under this policy and is performed on the employee's own time, without the support services of the Society, then compensation, fees, and honoraria, may be retained by the employee. However, if an endeavor is carried on during normal working hours or with the use of Society resources, or is related to the employee's work at the Society, or otherwise implicates this policy, the employee and his or her division manager, with the concurrence of the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, must agree in advance on the appropriateness of the activity and an equitable arrangement concerning time, remuneration, etc. Contracts between the Society and employees or members of their immediate family may give rise to conflicts of interest or give the appearance of favoritism, and may be entered into only after review and appearance of favoritism, and may be entered into only after review and approval by the President, or designee. If any employee has, or is considering, an undertaking which might conflict or appear to conflict with Society's policy, the employee should bring this matter to the attention of appropriate Society management to ensure that no conflict will result. IV. Personal Use of the Society's Facilities or Other Resources by Employees The Society's property and facilities are to be used to conduct the Society's business, in accordance with Society policies. An employee who desires to use the Society's staff or resources for a non-Society endeavor must obtain permission in advance from his or her division manager and arrangements must be made to adequately reimburse the Society. V. Confidential Information Employees have a responsibility to comply with the Society's policy concerning confidential information and trade secrets. Among other duties employees have, the following should be observed: 1. In the conduct of Society business, employees of the Society shall limit requests for and use of information to our business needs; limit use and discussion of information obtained on the job to normal business activities; and restrict access of records to those with proper authorization and legitimate business needs. 2. No employee shall disclose confidential information (editorial, publishing, personnel, etc.) unless specifically authorized to do so. 3. No employee shall disclose directly or indirectly to any news organization any sensitive information concerning the Society, its employees or its members. Failure to comply with these standards may lead to serious disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Procedures: For the protection of the Society and its employees, it is essential that employees make prompt and full disclosure to the Society prior to becoming involved in any situation that may be, or may result in, a conflict of interest. All employees will be required to complete a Confidential Report Letter at the time of hire. A Report Letter shall also be submitted by any employee promptly after he or she becomes involved in any conflict of interest situation or potential conflict of interest that has not previously been reported. All information disclosed shall be treated on a confidential basis except to the extent disclosure is considered necessary by the Society in its discretion for the protection of the Society's interest. In accordance with the Society's Conflict of Interest Policy, officers, directors or trustees and all employees are obligated to disclose activities that give rise to conflicts of interest and to recuse themselves from any participation in decisions about matters as to which they have a conflict. Such disclosures are required not only on an annual questionnaire but also at the point in time a conflict arises, not merely on an annual basis. Disclosures should be made to appropriate Society management. A VP and Associate General Counsel is the Society's designated Ethics Officer and provides advice and consultation in these matters. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | The Board of Trustees of the National Geographic Society has delegated authority to the Compensation Committee to oversee the compensation and benefits of certain senior executives of the Society. The Committee, which is composed exclusively of independent members of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for overseeing an executive compensation program for the Society's senior executives. The Committee follows the procedures set forth in the IRS regulations under Section 4958 in making compensation decisions. In particular, the Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to prepare and present comparable market data with respect to the Society's cash compensation and benefits programs, and is also advised by outside counsel. The Committee reviews the performance of senior executives and evaluates their compensation and benefits in light of the comparable market data provided by the independent compensation consultant and other relevant factors. The Committee relies on such market data in awarding cash compensation and reviewing benefit programs for the Society's senior executives, and receives an opinion from the independent compensation consultant as to the reasonableness and comparability of the Society's executive compensation and benefits programs to that provided for similar services by similar organizations under similar circumstances. The Committee documents its decisions regarding executive compensation decisions in its minutes. The Chair of the Committee promptly reports all actions taken by the Committee to the full Board of Trustees. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | The Compensation Committee followed the process described above at meetings held in February and December of 2016 with respect to compensation decisions for the following senior executives positions; President and CEO: EVP, Chief Operations & Financial Officer; EVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary; EVP, Chief Program Officer; Chief Marketing & Engagement Officer; and SVP, Global Strategy; Chief Scientist & SVP, Grants; Deputy Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff; Executive Director, Centers of Excellence. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public | The Society's corporate charter is available to the public through the District of Columbia Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Corporations Division. The Society's other governing documents are available upon request. The financial statements of the tax-exempt parent, the National Geographic Society, are made available in this Form 990. The Society does not currently make its audited financial statements available to the public because they are issued on a consolidated basis, which include financial details of the activities of Society's taxable subsidiaries which are not disclosed for competitive reasons. The Society's Forms 990 and 990T are available upon request, as well as online at Guidestar.org. |
