By combining rigorous scientific and technical analysis with advocacy and outreach efforts, the program works to reduce global warming emissions, prevent the worst consequences of climate change from occurring, and help prepare communities for the unavoidable climate impacts that have already been set in motion. 3458582 The Center for Science and Democracy endeavors to strengthen American democracy by advancing the essential role of science, evidence-based decision making, and constructive debate as a means to improve the health, security, and prosperity of all people. The Center produces original research and analysis and brings citizens together to discuss key issues such as ensuring public access to scientific information, keeping science free from distortion and manipulation by special interests, and promoting more effective use of science in policy making. 2610286 Global security program works to reduce some of the gravest threads to humanity - in particular, those posed by nuclear weapons and materials, their acquisition by terrorists, or accidents. We serve as an independent watchdog on a range of nuclear and weapons issues, combining technical analysis and policy expertise to improve nuclear power plants safety and reduce the threats posed by nuclear weapons. 5275022 The Clean Vehicles program seeks to dramatically reduce U.S. oil use. We analyze advanced vehicle technologies, biofuels, and related oil-reduction strategies, and advocate for effective transportation solutions that create new jobs and industries, save consumers billions of dollars at the gas pump, improve air quality and reduce global warming.The Food and Environment program seeks to transform the U.S. food system in a healthier, more sustainable direction. We advocate for policy changes that will encourage American farmers to grow a wide range of healthy foods that will be available and affordable for all, instead of the commodity crops used in processed foods that are making Americans sick. Our policy recommendations will also help farmers abandon environmentally destructive industrial methods in favor of modern, science-based agroecological practices.Legislative - Appearances before Congressional committees, as well as meeting with individual Congressmen and writing, printing, and mailing of legislative alerts to UCS sponsors. 5275022 20273646 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 90 0 1 179 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR AZ CA CT FL GA IL KS KY LA MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OH OR OK PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI DC HI X X Javier Caban Union of Concerned Sc 6175475552 Two Brattle Square Cambridge MA 02238 James J McCarthy 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter A Bradford 1.00 X X 0 0 0 James S Hoyte 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas H Stone 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kurt Gottfried 1.00 X 0 0 0 James A Fay 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew J Gunther 1.00 X 0 0 0 Geoffrey M Heal 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Kapuscinski 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Matthews 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mario J Molina 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stuart L Pimm 1.00 X 0 0 0 Louis Salkind 1.00 X 0 0 0 Adele Simmons 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Stephens 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ellyn R Weiss 1.00 X 0 0 0 Edward L Miles 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard L Garwin 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Eisner 1.00 X 0 0 0 Fran Ulmer 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin T Knobloch 40.00 X 263285 0 38073 Kathleen Rest 40.00 X 223124 0 24725 David Whalen 40.00 X 213601 0 18643 Cheryl Schaffer 40.00 X 177593 0 21187 Alden M Meyer 40.00 X 165705 0 23156 Peter Frumhoff 40.00 X 154093 0 31175 Angela Anderson 40.00 X 153928 0 13618 Suzanne Shaw 40.00 X 139909 0 29702 Ricardo Salvador 40.00 X 139005 0 8165 1630243 0 208444 31 0 1 0 Mindshift Technologies Inc 309 Waverly Oaks Rd Waltham MA 02452 IT Management Services 355918 OMP Inc 1133 19th Street NW Washington DC 20036 Fundraising 283353 M&R Strategic Services 1901 L Street NW Washington DC 20036 Fundraising 196870 Donor Services Group LLC 6715 Sunset Blvd Los Angeles CA 90028 Fundraising 170658 SusQtech PO Box 825 Winchester VA 22604 Share Point Services 158466 7 7447125 16336591 23783716 709785 709785 105192 10395 120133 12448 -14941 -2053 -16994 -16994 11919441 9843271 2076170 2076170 2076170 10372 0 10372 10372 Misc Income 900099 205612 205612 Lists & Labels 900099 28506 28506 Royalties 900099 7241 7241 2054 2054 243413 26806462 2329955 0 692791 X 758851 576065 74061 108725 10485353 8984437 351855 1149061 716718 583777 28399 104542 891536 722652 37757 131127 855016 704360 32799 117857 35321 7812 27460 49 53948 53948 99679 99679 169950 169950 2610865 2494057 8406 108402 251593 248514 407 2672 199658 176821 2661 20176 373158 330521 15748 26889 1238263 1166674 23713 47876 1058700 937303 1601 119796 112149 102527 1450 8172 308345 273113 13013 22219 52561 46556 2218 3787 Printing and Publicatio 884674 700427 6 184241 Postage and Freight 677223 529377 779 147067 Event Expense 461648 409643 1263 50742 Subscriptions 363932 318508 3298 42126 1101939 860823 28899 212217 23761080 20273646 709741 2777693 X 2005032 1482907 0 522125 377547 669920 5926886 5982555 3147670 3453364 47807 37538 38112 48348 178057 202015 8951967 4252441 4637437 4699526 25617283 28216930 507995 503535 48212 49738 40527006 43863469 1174032 1300672 2020362 1821463 250000 250000 1253013 1202723 4697407 4574858 X 28784769 32139180 6859395 6963996 185435 185435 35829599 39288611 40527006 43863469 3045382 413630 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 21188464 18359545 21368554 25293341 23783716 109993620 21188464 18359545 21368554 25293341 23783716 109993620 20735167 89258453 455014 240458 525598 509701 709785 2440556 144863 149895 152877 85747 243413 776795 113210971 67730 0.78840 0.73710 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 29490 231704 261194 20849826 21111020 1000000 250000 0 0 1000000 1000000 1000000 1000000 4000000 6000000 626194 267861 310964 261194 1466213 250000 250000 250000 250000 1000000 1500000 129861 57723 28881 29490 245955 26416472 705355 3199585 529382 29792030 22320978 258735 3952758 115999 26416472 24309182 75225 -465933 1597496 22320978 21686533 1818430 804219 24309182 20292598 1327690 66245 21686533 0.98910 0.00620 0.00470 1 0 6366495 2182769 4183726 394206 114969 279237 2191266 1954703 236563 4699526 Unitrust and Annuity Agreements 1202723 1202723 X 27352673 413630 132581 546211 26806462 0 26806462 23893661 0 23893661 -132581 -132581 23761080 Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: Part V, Line 4: UCS uses the investment earnings of its endowment funds for the specific purposes designated by the donors including scientific research, new initiatives, activist and media outreach. Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X, Line 2: In accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, UCS is exempt from federal and state income taxes and, accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. These determinations have been reviewed according to guidance in a recent Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncement related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. In determining the recognition of uncertain tax positions, UCS applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and determines the measurement of uncertain tax positions considering the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement with taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2013, UCS has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. UCS is generally subject to potential examination by taxing jurisdictions for the prior three years. Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Rental Expense Reported in Part VIII, Line 6b 132,581.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Affected persons (staff and Board) complete and submit the conflict of interest statement on an annual basis at the beginning of each fiscal year. This does not obviate the need to disclose potential conflicts that may arise in the interim. All forms are reviewed by the Director of Finance and Administration. Any potential conflicts are reviewed by the UCS President who determines whether a conflict exists and is material. If a matter is material, the President will bring it to the attention of the Board Chair. If the UCS President has the conflict, he or she would disclose the matter to the Board Chair directly. Disclosure involving Board members is made to the Board Chair (or if the conflict involves the Board Chair, to the Board Treasurer) who brings these matters, if material, to the Board. The Board determines whether a conflict exists and is material, and in the presence of an existing material conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to UCS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The UCS policy is that the Finance Committee of the Board be informed of the performance based recommendations for salary for key employees in the context of market information and our merit increase system. The purpose of this policy is to provide transparency and compliance with various legal standards for non-profit management. The President's salary is set after an annual merit review, by the Chair of the Board in consultation with the Treasurer and/or other Board members, as the Chair sees fit. The salaries for other key employees are set, after the annual merit review, by the management team. All salaries are set in the context of market information and our merit increase system. All salaries of key employees are reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the Board.
