Denver Zoo's mission is to secure a better world for animals through human understanding. The zoo strives to achieve its mission by adhering to six core values:Protect: We commit to saving animals and ensuring their long-term survival.Honor: We treat our public, animals, volunteers and staff with respect.Innovate: We strive to discover creative solutions through progressive thinking, practices and partnerships.Engage: We connect people with animals and inspire everyone to respect the natural world.Empower: We equip our communities with the knowledge to take positive action for all species.Serve: We deliver exceptional service to our customers. 41 41 302 789 0 0 20682130 22616031 11423220 14714447 28253 19039 74344 53035 32207947 37402552 339119 320416 0 0 15892763 17872510 40317 0 3922113 34799167 16846469 51071366 35039395 -18863419 2363157 20602437 23141111 11294899 11470416 9307538 11670695 X See Schedule O 0 0 14324441 320416 11607654 Animal Care and ResearchDenver Zoo is home to 3,800 animals representing more than 650 species and is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). In 2012, Denver Zoo was reaccredited by the AZA. This accreditation assures the highest standards of animal care. A leader in environmental action, Denver Zoo is dedicated to ensuring the safety of the environment in support of all species and is the first U.S. zoo to receive ISO 14001 certification for the entire facility and operations. This international certification ensures the Zoo is attaining the highest environmental standards. In 2012, Denver Zoo opened a new exhibit, Toyota Elephant Passage, which received LEED certification at the platinum level, the highest honor in building sustainability. The Zoo's Conservation/Biology Department is dedicated to field research and animal conservation projects around the globe. Since the Department was created in 1996, the Zoo has participated in hundreds of projects in 55 countries on five continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America). Conservation projects focus on key species and landscape conservation planning, a widely-accepted method of conserving large ecological systems. Projects in Mongolia, Kenya, Botswana, Peru, Vietnam, and the western United States were a focus in 2012. 4517389 Zoo ImprovementsZoo Improvements includes both small capital and large capital construction projects. The largest component of the expense is $2,359,656 for construction expenditures related to Toyota Elephant Passage. Although the assets of the more than $50Million project were turned over to the City in 2012, there remain some expenses related to the completion of the projects within the Millennium plan. Approximately $1,272,000 was spent on small capital purchases related to general zoo improvements, exhibit enhancements and capital equipment. Over $353,000 was spent to renovate the former elephant building in order to accommodate rhinoceros. 2635223 1312727 Environmental/Conservation Education ProgrammingEducation is a major focus for Denver Zoo, with a variety of programs available for diverse audiences, both at the Zoo and at schools and other locations throughout the Denver metro area. The Zoo reaches out to diverse audiences, especially underserved populations that historically have not participated in programs offered by scientific and cultural facilities. We have strategically sought collaborations with partners that have earned the trust of underrepresented audiences. In 2012, approximately 50,000 students participated in on-site classes, assemblies, science workshops, career programs, our popular Bunk with the Beasts program, Summer Safari (a day camp) and other programs. This number does not include students who visited the Zoo on field trips. More than 68,000 children and adults participated in education outreach programming, primarily Pre-K through 12th grade students 6119544 1794066 Other Programs include: Certificates of Participation, Member Services, Guest Services, Horticulture and Interns. Certificates of Participation is an account funded by $1.00 per paid admission and is used to reimburse the City and County of Denver for providing $8.5 million of financing towards the construction of the parking garage in 2001. Member Services spent $547,853 (excluding new business development) to service more than 68,000 member households at its highest peak in the summer. The high number of memberships is a related to the grand opening of Toyota Elephant Passage in June 2012. 6119544 1794066 27596597 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0

Also, if the item of purchase is a tangible asset with potential conflicts of interest, staff is required to get multiple bids for the item. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 There are several factors, monetary and nonmonetary, that are considered in determining executive compensation. These business-related factors include: Budget: Does the budget allow for any flexibility in the offer and what is the relative financial health of our organization? Internal equity: What are other executives in the same type of job or at the same job level being paid? Market price/external demands: Is this job difficult to fill or is it hard to find qualified candidates in this location or industry? Candidates' level of experience: How many years of relevant experience does this person bring to the table? Candidates' education level: What degrees does the person have that will benefit our organization? Candidates' current compensation package: What is this person's current base pay and benefits package? Salary surveys: What are other executives in the same type of job being paid at other non-profit organizations of the same size? Once the salary is determined, the executive committee (which consists of independent board members) reviews this information. Written employment agreements are also used. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18 The organization's Form 1023 and Form 990 are available to the public upon request. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available to the public upon request.
