FORM 990, PART I - LINE 1 & PART III - LINE 1 FOR OVER 40 YEARS THE HUDSON RIVER FOUNDATION HAS SUPPORTED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND ENGAGEMENT THAT HAS INFORMED DECISION MAKING FOR THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE RIVER, ESTUARY, AND WATERSHED. THE FOUNDATION HAS SUPPORTED GENERATIONS OF RESEARCHERS FROM YOUNG STUDENTS TO SENIOR SCHOLARS WHO HAVE HELPED US DEFINE HOW THIS REMARKABLE ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS. TOGETHER THEY HAVE BUILT A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WATERSHED, RIVER AND ESTUARY AND HOW THE SYSTEM HAS CHANGED OVER THE DECADES. RESEARCH SUPPORTED BY THE FOUNDATION HAS HELPED BUILD A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHY THE HUDSON RIVER IS SO IMPORTANT TO COASTWIDE STOCKS OF STRIPED BASS AND ENDANGERED STURGEON. THERE IS NOW MUCH GREATER CLARITY ABOUT THE DISTRIBUTION AND FATE OF LEGACY POLLUTANTS LIKE PCBS THAT HAVE HAD PROFOUND IMPACTS AND WILL BE THE FOCUS OF RESTORATION EFFORTS THAT WILL EXTEND OVER MANY YEARS. FOUNDATION FUNDED RESEARCH HAS PROVIDED IMPORTANT CLUES TO THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF STORM SURGE BARRIERS AND IS PROVIDING IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON HOW TO ENHANCE SHALLOW WATER HABITATS. OUR GOAL IS TO SUPPORT SCIENCE THAT IS OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND IS ACTIONABLE. FOUNDATION STAFF PROVIDE A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY AND THOSE WHO MAKE DECISIONS ON HOW BEST TO SUSTAIN AND RESTORE THE HUDSON'S WATERS. THE FOUNDATION IS HOME TO THE NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY HARBOR AND ESTUARY PROGRAM (HEP) AND TWO URBAN WATERS AMBASSADORS. HEP IS DEEPLY ENGAGED WITH A NETWORK OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS FROM FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY. THE FOUNDATION IS THE SOURCE OF INFORMATION DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF MANY AUDIENCES. WE OFFER RESEARCH RESULTS, REPORTS, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATION AND WE ARE ACTIVE CONVENERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND POLICY MAKERS THROUGH SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS AND MEETINGS. AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO A PERIOD OF RAPID AND PROFOUND CHANGE, WE ARE COMMITTED TO USING ALL OUR RESOURCES TO HELP ADDRESS THE COMPLEX PROBLEMS BEFORE US. THIS WILL REQUIRE US TO INNOVATE AND EMBRACE NEW APPROACHES THAT BRING NEW SCIENTISTS FROM DIVERSE DISCIPLINES INTO OUR WORK. AT THE SAME TIME, WE MUST FULLY ENGAGE COMMUNITIES IN WAYS THAT BUILD LASTING BRIDGES AND FOSTER SHARED LEARNING. GUIDED BY A FAR-REACHING STRATEGIC PLAN, WE AFFIRM OUR UNIQUE ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE HUDSON RIVER AND OUR COMMITMENT TO WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RESEARCHERS, POLICYMAKERS, RESOURCE MANAGERS AND COMMUNITIES TOWARDS A VISION OF A HEALTHY AND RESILIENT HUDSON RIVER FROM ITS WATERSHED THROUGH THE HUDSON VALLEY TO THE URBAN ESTUARY JOINING THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. WE PURSUE OUR MISSION WITH ACTIVITIES IN THREE PRIORITY AREAS. FIRST, WE WILL ADVANCE USEFUL AND RESPONSIVE SCIENCE AFFECTING THE HUDSON RIVER WATERSHED. SCIENCE IS ESSENTIAL TO MAKING THE DECISIONS NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEX PROBLEMS FACING THIS EXTRAORDINARY RESOURCE. OUR RESPONSE TO THESE CHALLENGES STARTS WITH BUILDING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CURRENT ECOSYSTEM AND THE CHANGES BROUGHT BY HUMAN MODIFICATION, WITH A SPECIFIC EMPHASIS ON CLIMATE CHANGE. THE FOUNDATION WILL INVEST IN EXCEPTIONAL SCIENCE THAT IS INSPIRED BY NEED AND FOCUSED ON INFORMING ACTION. THROUGH THESE INVESTMENTS, WE WILL SEEK INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO RESTORE AND ENHANCE THE HUDSON AND THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES. SECOND, WE WILL ENGAGE AND INFORM SCIENTISTS, COMMUNITIES, MANAGERS, AND POLICYMAKERS. THE FOUNDATION CONNECTS THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY TO THE NEEDS OF DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE DECISIONS INFLUENCE THE HUDSON RIVER, ESTUARY, AND WATERSHED. EFFECTIVE ENGAGEMENT IS KEY TO BRINGING THE POWER OF RESEARCH TO PROBLEM SOLVING. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING AN INDEPENDENT PLATFORM FOR OPEN DIALOGUE THAT EMPOWERS STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY, COLLABORATE, AND ACT ON SHARED OBJECTIVES. THIRD, WE WILL WORK TO GROW CAPACITY AND RESOURCES FOR SOLUTIONS. TO EFFECTIVELY PLAY OUR PART IN TACKLING THE SCALE OF THE CHALLENGES AHEAD, THE FOUNDATION WILL ADAPT, BUILD NEW SKILLS, AND GROW A LARGER, DIVERSIFIED BASE OF FUNDS. THE CAPACITY TO DEVELOP A SHARED UNDERSTANDING AND MUTUAL RESPECT AMONG THE MANY DIVERSE COMMUNITIES WHO LIVE HERE IS ESSENTIAL. UNITED BY SHARED GOALS, WE WILL WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD THE BROAD PARTNERSHIPS AND FUNDING NEEDED TO ACHIEVE LASTING COLLECTIVE IMPACT.
