CLIMATEWORKS FOUNDATION, A PUBLIC CHARITY BASED IN THE U.S., MOBILIZES PHILANTHROPY TO SOLVE THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND ENSURE A PROSPEROUS FUTURE. THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AGREES THAT THE WORLD MUST HOLD THE INCREASE IN GLOBAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE THIS CENTURY TO WELL BELOW 2 DEGREES CELSIUS ABOVE PRE-INDUSTRIAL LEVELS WHILE PURSUING EFFORTS TO LIMIT THE TEMPERATURE INCREASE TO 1.5 DEGREE CELSIUS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DANGEROUS CLIMATE CHANGE. CLIMATEWORKS' ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE IS TO HELP PREVENT DANGEROUS CLIMATE CHANGE BY MAKING A MAJOR CONTRIBUTION TOWARD EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS NEEDED TO LIMIT WARMING TO WELL BELOW 2 DEGREES CELSIUS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES THIS BY MAKING GRANTS TO SUPPORT CLIMATE MITIGATION AND HELPING OTHER CLIMATE FUNDERS COORDINATE TO BE MORE STRATEGIC AND EFFECTIVE IN THEIR PHILANTHROPY. TO MARSHAL THE TALENT AND CAPACITY REQUIRED TO SUPPORT SOPHISTICATED FUNDERS AND TACKLE ONE OF THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST CHALLENGES, CLIMATEWORKS COLLABORATES WITH A GLOBAL NETWORK OF REGIONAL PARTNERS. WORKING WITH GRANTEES, CLIMATEWORKS AND ITS PARTNERS FUND GRANT PORTFOLIOS TO PURSUE GLOBAL AND REGIONAL INITIATIVES. CLIMATEWORKS MONITORS THE PROGRESS OF THESE INITIATIVES AND WORKS WITH ITS PARTNERS TO CONTINUOUSLY ADAPT EFFORTS TO BE INCREASINGLY EFFECTIVE. CLIMATEWORKS' REGIONAL PARTNERS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: (I) CLIMATE AND LAND USE ALLIANCE (II) ENERGY FOUNDATION (III) ENERGY FOUNDATION CHINA (IV) EUROPEAN CLIMATE FOUNDATION (V) INICIATIVA CLIMATICA DE MEXICO (VI) INSTITUTO CLIMA E SOCIEDADE IN ADDITION, CLIMATEWORKS COLLABORATES WITH EXPERTS AT GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE TO DEVELOP AND SHARE ACTIONABLE DATA AND INSIGHTS INTO THE SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL, AND SOCIOECONOMIC LANDSCAPES IN WHICH PHILANTHROPY OPERATES. THESE INSIGHTS HELP CLIMATEWORKS AND ITS PARTNERS SHAPE, MONITOR, EVALUATE, AND REFINE OUR ONGOING EFFORTS. LEVERAGING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF CLIMATE SCIENCE AND OUR ABILITY TO AGGREGATE COMPLEX DATA, CLIMATEWORKS DISSEMINATES INFORMATION TO ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING OF THE DRIVERS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND INFORM INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO REDUCE EMISSIONS AND PROVIDE A VARIETY OF PUBLIC BENEFITS AT SCALE. TREAS. REG. SEC. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(I)-(III) ESTABLISHES CRITERIA THAT INDICATE THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SUPPORTING AN ORGANIZATION'S CONTINUED PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS DESPITE NOT MEETING THE 33 1/3 PERCENT SUPPORT TEST. THESE CRITERIA ARE ADDRESSED BELOW: CRITERIA 1 & 3 - ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT & SOURCES OF SUPPORT: THE CLIMATEWORKS FOUNDATION EMERGED FROM A STUDY COMMISSIONED BY SIX FOUNDATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS TAX-EXEMPT UNDER THE IRC SECTION 501(C)(3): THE WILLIAM AND FLORA HEWLETT FOUNDATION, THE DAVID AND LUCILE PACKARD FOUNDATION, THE ENERGY FOUNDATION, THE DORIS DUKE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, THE JOYCE FOUNDATION, AND THE OAK FOUNDATION, TWO OF WHICH (HEWLETT AND PACKARD FOUNDATIONS) JOINED THE MCKNIGHT FOUNDATION IN PROVIDING THE INITIAL FUNDING TO CLIMATEWORKS IN 2008. SINCE THAT TIME, CLIMATEWORKS' FUNDRAISING STAFF MEMBERS (AT ITS PEAK A HEADCOUNT OF SEVEN) HAVE MAINTAINED A BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR TARGETED SOLICITATIONS FROM MAJOR FUNDERS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ARENA, PROGRESSIVELY INCREASING OUR FUNDER BASE OF MAJOR DONORS FROM THE REFERENCED THREE IN 2008 TO 20 IN 2017 (UP FROM 12 IN 2016). SEVERAL MAJOR FUNDERS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT. ALTHOUGH CLIMATEWORKS HAD LIMITED ITS SOLICITATION TO PERSONS DEEMED MOST LIKELY TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SEED MONEY FOR THE SCOPE OF ITS AMBITIONS, A FEW SMALLER CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC WERE RECEIVED. IN 2013, CLIMATEWORKS FINALIZED A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT REFOCUSED ITS EFFORTS ON PHILANTHROPIC INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS AROUND WHICH WE COORDINATE AND HELP INCREASE FUNDING FOR CLIMATE MITIGATION EFFORTS. AS PART OF THAT PROCESS, WE HAVE ENGAGED WITH CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE FUNDERS AND OTHER PARTNERS TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES THAT REPRESENT SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS IN MULTIPLE GEOGRAPHIES AND COMMUNITIES. THIS UPDATED APPROACH HAS ALLOWED US TO WORK WITH A BROAD BASE OF PROSPECTIVE FUNDERS, AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL GAIN ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS DIRECTLY TO CLIMATEWORKS AND CONTINUE TO BROADEN AND DIVERSIFY OUR BASE OF SUPPORT. CRITERION 2 - PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT: CLIMATEWORKS' PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR THE 2017 REPORTING YEAR IS 22.41, UP SUBSTANTIALLY FROM 11.67 PERCENT IN 2016, DUE TO CLIMATEWORKS' SUCCESS IN BROADENING AND DIVERSIFYING ITS FUNDING. CRITERION 4 - REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY: SINCE ITS OUTSET CLIMATEWORKS HAS BEEN GOVERNED BY A DIVERSE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, A BODY ESTABLISHED BY CLIMATEWORKS' ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND OPERATED THROUGH ITS BYLAWS. INITIALLY COMPRISED PRIMARILY OF VANGUARDS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, THE BOARD'S CURRENT COMPOSITION REPRESENTS MORE TARGETED EXPERTISE IN PHILANTHROPY, SCIENCE, INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, AND ENERGY. DIRECTORS INCLUDE PRESIDENTS OF TWO OF THE LARGEST ENVIRONMENTAL GRANTMAKERS IN THE UNITED STATES, CHAIRPERSONS OF TWO INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATIONS FOCUSING ON CLIMATE CHANGE, THE DEAN OF THE STANFORD SCHOOL OF EARTH SCIENCES, THE FORMER EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF THE UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE (UNFCCC), AND A FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF POLICY AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. THIS COMBINATION OF BOARD EXPERTISE PROVIDES A PROFOUND KNOWLEDGE BASE THAT IS CRITICAL IN GOVERNING AND GUIDING CLIMATEWORKS IN SERVICE OF OUR MISSION. CRITERION 5 - AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC SERVICES: IN EARLY-NOVEMBER 2016, WE LAUNCHED THE CLIMATEWORKS TRACKER--A PUBLIC WEBSITE THAT PROVIDES DATA FROM THE CLIMATEWORKS' CARBON TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE (CTI) AND ALLOWS USERS TO EVALUATE CURRENT PROGRESS ON GHG EMISSION TRENDS AT A GLANCE. THE WEBSITE (HTTPS://CTI.CLIMATEWORKS.ORG/) INCLUDES DATA AND TRENDS FOR OVER 130 INDICATORS THAT DETERMINE EMISSION PATHWAYS FOR MANY OF THE WORLD'S MAJOR ECONOMIES. AS DESCRIBED IN SCHEDULE O FOR THE STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, CLIMATEWORKS RELEASED TWO PUBLIC REPORTS--ONE TITLED "EUROPE'S CARBON LOOPHOLE", A LIFECYCLE ACCOUNTING OF EUROPEAN MEMBER STATE CARBON EMISSIONS, INCLUDING THOSE EMISSIONS CAUSED THROUGH CONSUMPTION OF IMPORTED GOODS, AND ONE TITLED "FASTER & CLEANER 2: KICK-STARTING GLOBAL DECARBONIZATION," A REPORT THAT EXPLORES TECHNOLOGY TRENDS DRIVING DECARBONIZATION AND IDENTIFIES SUCCESS FACTORS THAT CAN HASTEN FURTHER TRANSFORMATIONS. THESE PUBLICATIONS AND ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS ARE HELPING TO ENSURE THAT PHILANTHROPIC INVESTMENTS ARE DIRECTED TOWARD EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO DRIVE DEEP REDUCTIONS IN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
