We partner with leaders and communities for just, meaningful impact to address the climate crisis. 0 0 16851630 5320898 1345852 Policy Relevant Research: Scientific excellence is the foundation for all of Woodwell Climate Research Center's activities, and distinguishes WCRC from other NGOs in the environmental sector. Through a holistic, multidisciplinary, applied, and team-focused approach, we seek to create breakthrough understanding of climate change impacts and solutions, for the purpose of informing sound environmental policies from the local to global scale. WCRC's research is focused on the land-climate connection - how changes in land use effect the climate system; how the changing climate is altering systems on land such as forests, ecosystems and agriculture; and what land-management strategies can harness the power of nature to slow climate change. Most of this research is conducted in the arctic and the tropics-critical regions where natural systems contain disproportionate shares of the planet's biodiversity and stored carbon, but where deforestation, agriculture, fire, and climatic warming place these assets at great risk. 3050440 1799800 Policy Engagement, Education & Communication: Woodwell Climate Research Center has a long and rich history of impacting climate policy processes at multiple levels, and sharing our scientific understanding of climate change with the world through cutting-edge communication and education programs. WCRC builds partnerships with local and national governments, non-governmental and private-sector organizations to implement and measure progress towards national commitments to the Paris agreement. To leave an educational legacy, WCRC offers hands-on experiential programs to train a new generation of climate science leaders. WCRC fosters immersive educational programs that encourage students to link field research with big-picture solutions in the challenging and fast-changing environments where we work. 1907167 12076 1300000 Center Funded Science: This category of expenditures represents Woodwell Climate Research Center's commitment to stimulating innovation, investing in future science leaders and investing in our scientific staff by funding projects of our own choosing. Center funded science aims to supplement/extend existing projects, or seed-fund projects that have the potential to have outsized impact in science and policy or which have good potential for return on investment by enabling external funding. 21809237 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 79 0 1 152 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X X John Arseneault 5085409900 149 Woods Hole Road Falmouth MA 025401644 Jerry Brown Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christina Deconcini Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Michael J Fanger Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 C Gail Greenwald Chair 8.00 X X 0 0 0 Andre L Guimarraes Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas J Hynes III Vice Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Joseph Kennedy III Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Roger A Kranenburg Director 2.00 X X 0 0 0 John L Le Coq Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Robert B Litterman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Wilhelm M Merck Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph J Mueller Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Georgia Chafee Nassikas Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn T Prickett Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kilaparti Ramakriashna Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel A Reifsynder Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph R Robinson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ihsan K Speede Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Izabella M Teixeira Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie N Tomasky Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cyrus N Wadia Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sanjay J Wagle Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Philip Duffy Past President & Executive Director 40.00 X 446683 0 66178 Robert Max Holmes President & Chief Executive Officer 40.00 X 446801 0 45796 Corrie Martin COO 40.00 X 315225 0 21875 Wayne Walker Chief Scientific Officer PI 40.00 X 229107 0 69136 John Arsenault VP of Finance 40.00 X 49588 0 2233 Christopher Neill Senior Scientist, PI 40.00 X 214549 0 36962 Christopher Schwalm Senior Scientist & Risk Program Director PI 40.00 X 200038 0 63530 Michael Coe Senior Scientist & Tropics Program Director PI 40.00 X 193911 0 49627 Linda Deegan Senior Scientist, PI 40.00 X 216013 0 37088 Susan Natali Senior Scientist PI 40.00 X 191580 0 46306 2503495 0 438731 39 0 1 0 CliftonLarsonAllen LLP PO Box 829709 Philadelphia PA 191829709 Accounting services/software consulting 682321 Succentrix Business Advisors of McKinney 2098 Timineri Dr Princeton TX 75407 Accounting services/consulting 270313 The Bridgespan Group Inc 2 Copley Place Suite 3700B Boston MA 02116 Business management consulting 212379 Robert Half 12400 Collections Center Drive Chicago IL 60693 Payroll consulting 187670 Marts & Lundy 160 Chubb Ave Suite 303 Lyndhurst NJ 07071 Capital Campaign Consultant 172444 6 3280230 23338832 26619062 Contract revenue 900099 4445652 4445652 4445652 1384772 1384772 377432 189094 49676 188338 -49676 138662 138662 32588148 4445652 0 1523434 4815202 4815202 517772 517772 1695969 1203845 357843 134281 11599696 8233784 2447493 918419 886328 629140 187012 70176 1782438 1265224 376088 141126 1064327 755489 224569 84269 164206 80652 83554 1140303 46610 1057793 35900 172444 172444 65830 65830 535391 535391 76897 30828 39128 6941 535221 202384 249118 83719 578499 231918 294363 52218 371709 25317 344748 1644 1689083 1326463 221994 140626 672241 307396 297176 67669 33119 33119 659537 72422 586431 684 82058 32897 41754 7407 Common costs 1486596 1092351 297216 97029 Research supplies 404152 404152 31029018 21809237 7205229 2014552 8605129 2847411 22153318 26932781 14726498 15153941 2041251 1896724 238606 370584 16148217 10406099 5532742 5742118 9968619 13166802 337313 335951 63603476 66446312 2662833 3298927 947276 826788 74492 41472 3684601 4167187 X 15131549 18913816 44787326 43365309 59918875 62279125 63603476 66446312 X 1559130 797390 3730 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 13695014 17100999 42170121 18269940 26619062 117855136 13695014 17100999 42170121 18269940 26619062 117855136 21202027 96653109 219828 185814 193697 502922 1384772 2487033 120342169 16552885 0.80320 0.75300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 150000 0 0 150000 0 Part II-B, Line 1: Woodwell Climate Research Center engaged in direct lobbying by meeting with federal legislators virtually and directly in Washington, DC.

At the discretion of the President/CEO, the bonus provided in 2023 for all staff was provided to recognize excellent work by those individuals over the prior fiscal year. The amount provided as bonuses was generally 3% of base compensation for all employees, determined to be appropriate by the CEO, with exceptions made in some cases where additional compensation was deemed warranted. The President/CEO's employment contract provides for a merit based bonus if approved by the Board of Directors. The Board determines incentive goals each year and then annually determines whether sufficient progress toward those goals has been made. In 2023 the Board approved a bonus to the President/CEO in the amount indicated based on successful attainment of those incentive goals.
