Despite the global economic stress of the last three years, stress that has exacted a toll on institutions across the United States, College of the Atlantic has prospered. Since 2007, our budgets have been balanced and are projected to be this year and next. Our endowment has significantly increased, as have our net assets. Not only have we avoided reductions in staffing, we have added to our faculty and staff, and raised wages. We have increased financial assistance to our students while maintaining need-blind admissions, raising the quality and size of incoming classes, and achieving the highest retention and graduation rates in our history. We have added endowed chairs, including the Steven K. Katona Chair in Marine Studies, the Sharpe-McNally Chair in Green and Socially Responsible Business, the Partridge Chair in Food and Sustainable Agriculture, the Allan Stone Chair in the Visual Arts, and the David Rockefeller Family Chair in Ecosystem Management and Protection. The secret to this success lies in the nature of COA. We have a story that is compelling, based on a mission that is consistent, and a future that shines with opportunity. Started as an experiment in alternative higher education, we are now a demonstrated alternative in educational excellence. We have a dedicated and generous family of supporters that have loved the College from the beginning, and a convincing case that we are a wise investment in the future. We have alumni whose accomplishments underscore our value. And we have the most dedicated staff and faculty imaginable. In our last accreditation review by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, the NEASC Commission indicated that College of the Atlantic had raised frugality to a form of art. Every gift to COA supports our academic program, and each and every person on campus carefully stewards the resources available to us. We have felt the same economic stresses that have echoed around the country and the world, but we have managed them with a community and a synergy that has made us stronger. We are very proud to send this report to all of you who make COA possible.

David F. Hales, President of COA A Letter from the Administrative Dean & CFO

Last year, fiscal year 2010, continued to be a year of adjusting to the economic crisis that affected the general economy and most of the nation’s colleges and universities. We continued to hold back expenses, but we did not cut back any programs, nor did we layoff staff or faculty. We were able to balance the budget* for the third consecutive year, with a very small operating surplus, without drawing on the prior year “roll-forward,” which we rolled forward again to provide a small cushion for the current operating budget in fiscal year 2011. Enrollment continued to grow modestly with an undergraduate full time average financial equivalent (FTE) of 313 compared to the prior year of 292. While this resulted in an increase in tuition revenue, it was partially offset by an increase in student aid as families felt the impact of the slow economy. We saw an increase in enrollment of international students and funding from our largest single donors, Shelby and Gale Davis, who provide scholarship support to our students from the United World Colleges. Our balance sheet showed an increase in our net fund balances from $36.9M to $42.5M, primarily to gains in the endowment which nearly recovered from the losses of the prior year during the downturn in the stock market. The budget plan for fiscal year 2011 is balanced with the allocation of the prior surplus. It depends on continued modest growth in enrollment, which we are seeing at the outset of the year and growth of the Davis Foundation grant due to transition funding. Our budgeted expenses are nearly level-funded except for increases in the academic program with the addition of four new faculty, increases in health insurance, modest salary increases, and miscellaneous expenses such as insurance, audit and contingencies. As we look ahead over the next few years, we see challenges with the lingering effect of the economy, an increase in the need for student financial aid, keeping salaries competitive, supporting increased costs of health insurance, and deferred maintenance. Our strategic plans to address these challenges include continued modest growth in enrollment, launching a new capital campaign, expansion of our summer programs and continued support from our faithful donors.

6 | www.coa.edu/support A Word from the Board of Trustees

The Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2009/2010 acknowledges and celebrates the many supporters of College of the Atlantic who make this institution distinctive, innovative, and academically excellent. This year, we are publishing the Annual Report separately, instead of in COA magazine as it was in the past. This will allow us to report more fully on the financial health of the College and to celebrate the many donors who sustain and advance the College. I would like to draw special attention to the following gifts and indicators: • Overall, giving to COA in FY 2010 was up by 65% over last year. The total raised for all funds in gifts and pledges is $15,068,425—with $7,293,844 raised in cash and $7,774,581 in pledges. • A pledge of $6M from Shelby and Gale Davis to fund the Davis United World College Scholars Program. COA is celebrating our 10th anniversary with this program which has truly transformed the academic experience at COA. • A gift of $2.5M from the Partridge Foundation to endow a program and Chair in Food and Sustainable Agriculture Systems. An additional $1M gift has established a Transatlantic Partnership with Kassel University in Germany and the Organic Research Centre at Elm Farm in the UK. Here again, these were transformative gifts for the College. • A lead gift of $1M from David Rockefeller to endow the David Rockefeller Family Chair in Ecosystem Management and Protection, continuing the Rockefeller family’s unparalleled legacy on Mt. Desert Island as excellent stewards of natural resources. • A gift of $250,000 from Trustee Tom Cox for programmatic support of the newly established Rockefeller Chair. Tom worked with Peggy Rockefeller on conservation lands on Sutton Island, so this was particularly meaningful to him and the College. • Gifts and pledges totaling $619,000 for various programs, including Allied Whale, Beech Hill Farm, the Marine Mammal Stranding program, the Sustainable Enterprise Hatchery, and Islands Through Time. • The number of gifts to the Annual Fund increased from 740 to 897 this year, showing continued broadening of our philanthropic base, but the total of gifts to the Annual Fund in 2009–2010 was down about 6%, understandable in view of the economic landscape, but disappointing nonetheless. • Alumni giving was a very bright spot, increasing from 13.9% participation to 23.21% for all graduates. This increase is made more exciting in the light of a recent national study which found that alumni participation among colleges overall hit a record low of 10%. COA’s gifts from parents were also up, another wonderful endorsement. I would like to thank our President, David Hales, our Dean of Development, Lynn Boulger, her staff, and all of the trustees for their outstanding leadership and work in fundraising. Fiscal year 2011 is well underway, and the momentum of our philanthropy program is growing stronger. For all these gifts, we are grateful. For each investment, we’re grateful. On behalf of the board of trustees, thank you for your belief in College of the Atlantic.

A Letter from the Dean of Development

Of all the wonderful things that happened in fiscal year 2010 and all the money raised, I am most proud of a $60 donation from alumnus Steven King ’80. Steve had given sporadically over the years and last December, I wrote asking him for his support again this year. He said: “I am sure I will give again in the future, especially when the food banks are not in such dire need.” Not one to take no on the first pass, I said, “Let me tell you why giving just a little bit matters a lot to COA. A couple months ago, we were turned down for a $250,000 grant by a foundation that really ’gets’ COA. One of the main reasons we were denied? The low percentage of alumni giving. Not the dollar amount, the percentage.” At the time of my conversations with Steve, only 11% of alumni were current donors. I told him: “We need to raise the proportion of giving by our alumni so we can justify to funders that our alumni feel COA is worthy of investment. People see the low percentage rate from alumni as a vote of ’no support’—and they don’t give either.” Steve responded back: “I can say with 100% conviction that the COA philosophy of education has been and continues to be of foundational importance to me and of course it is more important to the world now then ever before.” He went on to say: “I suspect one of the primary reasons for modest alumni giving is that COA graduates often have modest resources but huge impact on the world, i.e. working with non-profits and other agencies that are squeezed more than ever. I hate not getting grant money and I suspect any amount per alum would be important—so where can I go online and give?” Stories like these poured in all year. Why? When faculty member Chris Petersen heard about the foundation that denied our request, he led the charge and asked faculty to write personal notes to some alumni they knew well. They did. Participation rose to 23% for COA graduates. This increase was made more exciting by an annual giving study which found that alumni participation in colleges nation wide hit a record low, 10% last year. In this fiscal year we hope to raise participation to 32%. As Dean of Development, I am thrilled when those generous, transformational gifts are given and add to the texture and richness of a COA education. However, I can’t tell you how pleased I am that alumni are giving in larger numbers than ever before to the annual fund. This is community building at its finest—the generation that came before, creating opportunities for those here now. Thank you.

Lynn Boulger Dean of Development, COA

10 | www.coa.edu/support Foundation Support Grows in 2010

Innovative educational strategies, unique capabilities of faculty, staff, and students, and a long tradition of community engagement are important aspects of COA that define who we are. These features are recognized not only by the individual donors who loyally support us over the years, but also by the foundations and government agencies that choose to fund new initiatives or support critical programs. During Fiscal Year 2010, COA received over $860,000 in grants that have supported a diverse array of activities at the College. Some highlights include:

• Allied Whale’s research on critical whale habitat in the Gulf of Maine resulted in a $40,000 grant from an anonymous foundation. • Allied Whale is authorized to respond to marine mammal emergencies and strandings from Rockland, Maine north to the Canadian border. Rosemary Seton is the marine mammal stranding coordinator for the northeast region of Maine. The Michelle and Agnese Cestone Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provided funding for Rosie to do her work.

• A grant from the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation enabled thirteen COA students to participate in the youth delegation at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.

• A capital grant from the Partridge Foundation is being used to bring a new field into production at the College’s Beech Hill Farm. • COA’s physics faculty members have received two years of NASA support through the Maine Space Grant Consortium. This funding will enable faculty members Dave Feldman and Anna Demeo to develop of a new course on sustainable energy and a research project that will develop smart grid technology for community use.

• Our Sustainable Business Program has received two years of support for curriculum development from a Maine-based foundation and the USDA Rural Development Program for a new venture incubator called The Hatchery. A $100,000 grant from the W.P. Carey Foundation will provide seed capital for enterprises launched in the Hatchery.

• Faculty from COA’s Center for Applied Human Ecology received National Science Foundation funding through the University of Maine’s Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research. This grant is now supporting fourteen COA students conducting sustainable energy research in local communities.

• The Quimby Family Foundation provided scholarship support for high school students participating in COA’s Islands Through Time summer program. High school students receive college credit while learning about the ecology and culture of Down East Maine.

• The National Park Service expanded its cooperative relationship with COA to include a three-year study of the impact of rising sea level upon seabirds nesting in the Acadia Archipelago. The award includes support for COA students to work as research interns. Scholarship Awards Each May, College of the Atlantic chooses students to receive an array of awards and scholarships that honor dear friends and former faculty members. The 2010 awards are listed in alphabetical order according to the person for whom the honor is named along with the student recipient(s).

12 | www.coa.edu/support COA’s Annual Fund The Annual Fund is COA’s number one fund raising priority. Gifts to the Annual Fund support programs and activities that are central to College of the Atlantic’s mission. Without this fund, COA would need more than $20 million in additional endowment to meet its operating expenses each fiscal year. Gifts to the Annual Fund enable COA to: provide financial aid and scholarships to students; attract and retain top-quality faculty; maintain the excellence of its academic programs; obtain new equipment for classrooms, research stations, and offices; and maintain and enhance the beauty of our campus, including facilities and gardens. In addition, the Annual Fund supports many of the programs and initiatives that make COA a unique educational and community resource. The following list reflects COA’s Annual Giving for the fiscal year July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. With deep gratitude and appreciation we acknowledge the generosity of our alumni, trustees, staff, faculty, and friends.

John G.T. Anderson, W.H. Drury Professor of Ecology/Natural History

Why do I give? Why indeed. I guess because it is necessary. Not glamorous or sexy, but absolutely profoundly necessary. The Fund keeps the lights on, it gets the floors waxed, the light bulbs changed, the night watchman on duty, the snow plowed. It makes sure that the furnace works in winter, and that the dock floats go into the water in summer.

www.coa.edu/support | 23 Student Perspective: Why I Give

Graham Reeder, 2nd Year Student from Canada Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Atlantic

I think COA gives above and beyond what we pay for. The opportunities staff and faculty are providing aren’t necessarily what tuition covers, so we have a responsibility to give back. Students ask for and expect a lot from COA. We are always asking, “Can we have this resource, can we have that?” “Can we do this, do that?”—anything from student activities, to new courses, to the local, organic food we eat, to staging student-run plays and other live theater. We need to give to support all these opportunities. To contribute is rewarding. Donations are my financial planning; they don’t just come on a whim. Anybody is capable of donating something as long as they plan ahead for it. Also, my experience at the UWC ingrained the philosophy that donating to your school is important if you appreciate the opportunities you are receiving. I know some students and alumni consider contributions of time as their way of giving back, and that’s great. But I am also aware that numbers count a lot—not so much the size of the gift, just the fact that you’ve given. This is one indicator other people use to determine whether or not a school is worth donating to.

30 | www.coa.edu/support COA Wish List Some donors prefer to invest in things that they can hold in their hand and see what the impact will be. So, we decided to add a few items from our wish list in this annual report. Every faculty member, student, and staff member has a wish list. Here are the things that come up on almost everyone’s list! We left out the “Wood Fired Sauna” and “New Cat for Thorndike Library.” Some are small items that will make a difference for a few courses—others are large items that will make a difference in the labs for years to come. There are other opportunities as well. New greenhouse anyone? How about a research vessel? If you would like to help us fill our pressing capital needs, call the development office at 207-801-5620. We’d be happy to share our full wish list with you.
