Mission	NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION'S (NWF) MISSION IS TO INSPIRE AMERICANS TO PROTECT WILDLIFE FOR OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. NWF HAS THREE STRATEGIC PROGRAMMATIC AREAS: A) ICONIC LANDSCAPES, B) HEALTHY WATERS AND C) VIBRANT COMMUNITIES. THROUGH EDUCATION, OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY, NWF PURSUES SOLUTIONS THAT REDUCE THREATS TO WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE. NWF REPRESENTS A DIVERSE SET OF INTERESTS, MADE UP OF OUR VAST NETWORK OF AFFILIATES, MEMBERS AND PARTNERS. NWF AFFILIATES ARE AUTONOMOUS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT LEAD IN STATE AND LOCAL CONSERVATION EFFORTS AND PARTNER WITH NWF ON A WIDE VARIETY OF REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ISSUES. AFFILIATION IS A VOLUNTARY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EACH ORGANIZATION AND NWF, AND THERE IS ONLY ONE AFFILIATE PER STATE OR U.S. TERRITORY. THIS DIVERSE NETWORK OF PARTNERS ELECTS KEY MEMBERS OF NWF'S LEADERSHIP AND SETS NWF'S CONSERVATION POLICY PRIORITIES THROUGH AN ANNUAL RESOLUTION PROCESS. AS IN NATURE, WE HAVE STRENGTH IN NUMBERS AND DIVERSITY. NWF REGULARLY WORKS CLOSELY WI	MissionDesc

Desc	Iconic Landscapes: A centerpiece of NWF's strategy is protecting and restoring habitat throughout the United States to benefit wildlife. NWF defends federal laws, protects and restores public and tribal lands, and works with local communities to protect, restore and sustain wildlife habitat. NWF also works to provide guidance on scientific and sustainable fish and wildlife management. As an example, in the Rocky Mountain West, NWF's Colorado and Montana offices are our state affiliates are strong voices for public lands and work with partners, sportsmen, and outdoor recreationists to protect public lands for the wildlife that inhabits them and also for outdoor recreation for the public. Energy development in the west is a large area of concern and NWF and also works with energy companies to promote responsible energy development on public lands that addresses the potential impact on wildlife and their habitat. Some examples of success include: 1. We worked closely with the Montana Wildlife Federation and other partners to achieve a stunning breakthrough for wild bison - returning 138 of these magnificent beasts to their historic range on Assiniboine and Sioux tribal lands on Fort Peck Reservation in Montana. 2. On May 21, 2014 President Barack Obama designated the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks a national monument. The proclamation followed years of work by NWF, the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, business owners, the public and local community leaders to protect the southern New Mexico site that includes the quartz spires of the Organ Mountains, volcanic mountains and cliffs, box canyons, ancient rock carvings and historic ranching sites. The nearly half-million-acre area is home to a broad array of wildlife, including, mule deer, mountain lions, golden eagles and peregrine falcons.	Desc

Desc	Healthy Waters: NWF's focuses on regional efforts and leveraging existing relationships to address localized water issues. NWF field offices sand affiliates regularly provide leadership and boots on the ground to support the efforts of coalitions dedicated to cleaning up America's waters. On the Gulf Coast, NWF is a voice for wildlife and a leader in Gulf Coast restoration after the BP oil spill. Through the Texas Living Waters project, NWF works to ensure that Texas has enough fresh water for people and wildlife, protecting coastal estuaries and groundwater. In the Mississippi River Delta, NWF's South Central office is spearheading the gulf restoration efforts to curb wetlands loss and restore nature's first line of defense from hurricanes. In the Great Lakes, NWF's Michigan office leads the Healing Our Waters coalition that is working to modernize sewage treatment, clean-up polluted harbors, restore wetlands, and prevent unwanted, new species from invading the lakes. On the East Coast, NWF's Annapolis office leads the Choose Clean Water Initiative that addresses surface run off pollution affecting the Chesapeake Bay. Nationally, in February 2014, after years of persistent effort by tens of thousands of wildlife advocates and dozens of National Wildlife Federation affiliates, Congress passed a new farm bill that provides huge wins for wildlife. The 2014 Farm Bill is a strong, conservation-friendly bill that supports healthy soil, clean water and abundant habitat for wildlife. It contains a substantial increase in funding to help farmers create wildlife habitat on working lands and important improvements for protecting our fragile native grasslands.	Desc

Desc	Vibrant Communities: The organization's education outreach and publication programs aim to reconnect children and adults with nature through programs such as: Gardening for Wildlife (encouraging schools, individuals, and communities to sustainably build and certify wildlife habitat), Eco Schools USA (Pre-K-12 nature and environmental education programs), Campus Ecology and EcoLeaders (Young adult leadership and skills development), Great American Campout (encouraging individuals and communities to explore the great outdoors), National Wildlife, Ranger Rick, and Ranger Rick Jr. publications (award winning magazines devoted to conservation and education). In fiscal year 14, NWF education programs reached nearly 7 million young people with high quality programming in conservation education, climate science, wildlife awareness, reading and nature play. NWF is now in nearly 7,600 K-12 schools serving millions of students and 111,000 educators. This includes: 1. Adding 600 schools to the growing NWF Eco-Schools USA network -- Eco-Schools USA is part of the world's largest and most effective network of green schools. These are schools that devote their buildings, grounds and educational programming to environmental improvements and learning. Since 2009, NWF has been the official host and operator of the program in the U.S. In 2013 the number of participating schools increased from 2,600 to 3,100 (20% growth). Schools enrolled in the program saved $56 million in utility costs. 2. Adding 350 schools to our Schoolyard Wildlife Habitat Program -- Schoolyard Habitat Program, now with 4,400 participating schools, is the largest school garden program in America. It supports school and educator efforts to develop wildlife and ecosystem education programs directly on the school grounds and provides children with opportunities to learn in outdoor classrooms. The program grew 9.5% in 2013 3. 45% of the young people we now serve in our school programs are from racially diverse backgrounds -- NWF is a leader among national conservation organizations in reaching minorities and people of color through its programming. This is particularly true through our school programs due to focus on large urban school districts where American children are the most removed from nature. 4. Through NWF's Trees for Wildlife, children planted 20,000 trees at 100 locations -- The Trees for Wildlife program provides trees and educational programming to scout groups, schools groups and disaster-impacted communities. Since its inception, children have planted a total of 170,000 trees through the Trees for Wildlife program. 5. We helped 4 million kids get outdoors in nature on a regular basis - In late 2012, NWF announced its plan to have 10 million largely indoor-bound children to have regular time outdoors learning and playing in nature. Research shows that children who habitually stay indoors are less likely to care about wildlife and nature conservation as adults. We defined "regular time" as a weekly average of 90 minutes in natural spaces. By the end of 2013, we had achieved 3 million outdoor kids through our school and public agency programs. The Schoolyard Habitat program and the Eco-Schools USA program are particularly effective in helping students to spend time in natural setting learning about nature. These programs offer students and teacher the opportunity to create and use outdoor classrooms on schools grounds and encourage visits to local parks and nature centers. About one-half of the 3 million young people we helped reconnect with nature did so through these school-based programs. 6. We recruited 650 major urban and regional park agencies to help get kids outdoors. Most of these agencies provide field sports and indoor recreation centers as mainstays to their services. NWF, working with the dedicated and enthusiastic support of the National Recreation and Park Association, was fortunate to recruit 650 park and recreation agencies including: Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, St. Louis, Washington D.C. and many others. 7. We signed up 10 new cities and towns for the NWF Community Wildlife Habitat program -- NWF supports cities, counties and towns as they take steps to become local wildlife sanctuaries under our Community Wildlife Habitat program. More than 120 locales, large and small (with a combined population of 10 million people in 25 states), have either certified or are working toward certification. A community undergoes a locally based effort to increase the number of certified backyard, schoolyard, and other habitats it has and to manage its lands and educate students and the public in ways that are supportive of habitat management and protection. 8. We helped certify 9,000 individual properties as habitats -- NWF's community habitat and Garden for Wildlife program and its habitat volunteers generate thousands of certifications each year. 9. We Trained 1,000 habitat volunteers -- We recruit, train, and maintain a corps of habitat volunteers. Volunteers are essential to helping NWF achieve its habitat goals and obtaining 1,000 new backyard and schoolyard certifications each month. NWF trains and deploys volunteers to help with its Certified Wildlife Habitat programs. This includes communities, schoolyards, and backyards. These 2,000 volunteers contribute 60,000 hours per year and support hands on projects, holding tabling and communications events, giving talks to garden clubs and nature centers, helping educators, and advocating for wildlife friendly gardening and landscaping policies at the community level.

Form And Line Reference	FORM 990, SCHEDULE C, PART II-B, LINE 1, LOBBYING ACTIVITIES:	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	The lobbying work of the National Wildlife Federation advances the tax-exempt purposes of the organization focusing on the conservation, protection and restoration of land, water and wildlife as well as connecting children and families to nature. The National Wildlife Federation devoted $295,550 of its exempt purpose expenditures to attempting to influence legislation in Fiscal Year 2014. NWF advocated increasing federal appropriations and investments for specific programs and projects at various federal agencies including the Departments of Interior, Agriculture, EPA, DOE, Education and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These included lobbying for State and Tribal Wildlife Grants, restoration programs for large scale aquatic ecosystems such as the Great Lakes, land conservation and the EPA's environmental literacy grants. Defending existing environmental protections was a major focus on NWF's Capitol Hill and grassroots lobbying, especially the EPA's authority to reduce power plant emissions under the Clean Air Act and to issue guidance and rules clarifying the scope of wetlands and streams protected by the Clean Water Act. NWF also engaged in the Water Resources Development Act, seeking to maintain the existing National Environmental Policy Act process and to advance fiscal and environmental reforms of Corps of Engineers practices. NWF opposed efforts to block implementation of flood insurance reform legislation, to expand motorized access in designated wilderness areas and to mandate increased logging in National Forests across the country. NWF worked to build congressional support for protecting landscapes across the Rocky Mountain West including for new wilderness designations in Alaska, Montana, Colorado and New Mexico and elsewhere, opposed weakening the Antiquities Act which allows the President to designate new National Monuments and sought support for shielding the Forest Service operations budget from wildfire suppression and for reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund. A major focus on NWF's work was the reauthorization of the Farm Bill which is the largest source of funding for private land conservation. NWF's priorities were centered around conditioning new subsidies for crop insurance on the protection of wetlands and wildlife habitat and preventing the break-out of new grasslands and prairies as well as creation of a new regional partnership program to help recover cherished water bodies. Leading to the 5 year anniversary of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill NWF continued to advocate that potential BP settlement money be allocated to key Gulf restoration priorities including to coastal Louisiana's wetlands. In seeking to improve water quality and quantity issues elsewhere, NWF sought to improve flows in the Apalachicola River, to advance and defend EPA's efforts to reduce pollution in the Chesapeake Bay and to stop a destructive Army Corps of Engineers project that would cut off the last place in Missouri where the Mississippi River is still connected to its natural floodplain. With impacts of climate change threatening the survival of many wildlife species, NWF opposed efforts in Congress to mandate approval of the Keystone-XL pipeline as well as other carbon intensive tar sands pipelines in the Midwest and Northeast. Other climate related priorities included seeking the extension of tax credits for offshore and on-shore wind production and for energy efficiency and to halt the export of U.S. coal, the demand for which is impacting fish and wildlife habitat in the Interior West. To promote the responsible expansion of renewable energy, NWF advocated for passage of legislation to share revenues from renewable leasing with states including for conservation purposes. NWF also lobbied for passage of legislation that would advance the interests of hunters, anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts including measures that would reauthorize the federal Duck Stamp program and ensure that a greater portion of Land and Water Conservation Fund dollars are invested in hunting access. In an effort to address both wildlife and outdoor recreation concerns NWF advocated that the Interior Department reform oil and gas leasing practices. To promote the restoration of wildlife NWF worked at the state level in Montana to build support for the restoration of bison to key landscapes and sought passage of federal legislation to curtail the import of invasive species to the U.S. as well as to prevent the spread of Asian Carp.

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:	NWF'S MISSION IS TO INSPIRE AMERICANS TO PROTECT WILDLIFE FOR OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. NWF HAS THREE STRATEGIC PROGRAMMATIC AREAS: A) ICONIC LANDSCAPES, B) HEALTHY WATERS AND C) VIBRANT COMMUNITIES. THROUGH EDUCATION, OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY, NWF PURSUES SOLUTIONS THAT REDUCE THREATS TO WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE. NWF IS PROTECTING AND RESTORING HABITATS WITH HIGH WILDLIFE VALUE AND THOSE AT RISK FROM SUBURBAN SPRAWL, RESOURCE EXTRACTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE. WE ALSO PRETECT AND RESTORE FRESHWATER, ESTUARINE AND MARINE ECOSYSTEMS THREATENED BY NUTRIENT POLLUTION, INVASIVE SPECIES, CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS, HABITAT DESTRUCTION, SEWAGE OVERFLOWS, TOXIC WASTE AND IMPROPER DIVERSION OF NEEDED SEDIMENT.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES:	Membership education programs maintain an active, engaged and informed membership providing supporters with the information and inspiration to make a difference in their own backyards, their communities, and across the country. NWF reaches millions of supporters on a monthly basis to communicate the most pressing needs facing the environment today - from people becoming more disconnected from nature to loss of habitat and the impacts of climate change. Through such publications as National Wildlife magazine, the NWF website, and other sources of information, NWF is educating our membership base on how NWF is working to protect wildlife and habitat. Every month, through National Wildlife millions of people can read informative feature articles about wildlife and wildlife conservation , the latest environmental news and success stories from NWF and around the nation. In addition to advocating for policies that make lands and waters more resilient to harmful climate change impacts, NWF serves as a national leader on training the professionals who manage land and water to address this challenge. NWF produces reports and workshops to help state and federal agencies understand and address the vulnerability of wildlife to climate change impacts. This ground-breaking work led the Department of the Interior to award to NWF the Partners in Conservation award. NWF also works with land trusts, watershed protection groups and others in incorporating information about changing temperatures and precipitation patterns so that they can maximize the chances of success for their habitat protection and restoration work. Other nature education materials communicate NWF's mission to raise public awareness around our three main objectives: getting kids back outside, safeguarding wildlife and habitat and finding solutions to climate change. With our cards and wildlife inspired items, NWF has more ways to engage our 4 million members and supporters while also getting our message to new audiences who have an interest in protecting wildlife.
