A Word from the President College of the Atlantic was born an experiment. As president, my primary responsibility is to develop our college’s experimental qualities as a means for preparing students to take on a highly dynamic world, for changing the face of higher education, and for making the world a fundamentally better place. Managing and growing COA’s financial health is equally important and, financially speaking, we are on very solid ground. This report will attest to that. All of you — trustees, friends, faculty, staff, current students, alumni, and parents — are the financial and intellectual engines of our college. And, although words on paper can never do it justice, the primary purpose of this annual report is to recognize your dedication to our experimental college and to offer our deepest and most sincere gratitude for your help. The pages of this report also demonstrate that, despite our small size, we are a school of increasingly big ideas and increasingly big impact. Our ideas, impact, and overall ambition are continuously pushing up against financial constraints. This is a good thing. I am a firm believer that creative inspiration is actually a brainchild of limitation. Scott Dadich, the creative director of Wired Magazine, said it well: “Constraint offers an unparalleled opportunity for growth and innovation. Given fewer resources, you have to make better decisions.” On our forty-year anniversary, as a new group of human ecologists goes out and takes the world by storm this June, they too will likely be facing resource constraints. I’m confident that, as individuals, our graduates will embrace those challenges with the same kind of innovative spark, with the same kind “scrappiness” that COA embodies as an institution. As we move forward, I look forward to working with all of you to help realize the bigger and bolder ideas of new cohorts of human ecologists and help take on increasingly urgent human ecological problems. The omens are good.

Darron Collins ’92, PhD COA President A Letter from the Administrative Dean and CFO

Fiscal Year 2011 was very successful financially as the net fund balance for the college increased from $42.5 million to $51.2 million, largely due to gifts to the capital campaign and the continued recovery of the endowment investments. Non-operating activities showed a surplus of $10.4 million, including $6.2 million of gifts, ($1 million of which was a gift of land) and $5 million in gains and earnings of the endowment, offset by $0.8 million allocated to operations. The major source of operating revenue, as shown by the charts, continues to be net tuition. Our tuition fees grew by over $1 million from $10.5 to $11.6 million, but much of this growth was offset by student aid, which increased from $4.5 to $5.3 million. Like many colleges, are we are still feeling the impact of families who need more support, but unlike most colleges the ratio of student aid to total tuition is much higher. Our net tuition therefore increased by only $240 thousand — barely sufficient to cover increases in health insurance, energy and other operating costs. Our annual fund shows signs of growth in the future, but during the capital campaign it has been and will continue to be a challenge to meet the ambitious goal of $1 million. We have been fortunate to have several generous restricted grants, including the Davis UWC Scholarships, which have provided support for the operating budget, enabling us to have a balanced budget over the last few years1. Over the next few years, we are looking to the capital campaign to replace half the Davis Scholarship funds as they are being cut back and other one-time restricted funds, which will soon be spent. We have continued to hold the line on the expense side of the ledger. Our major expense increases have been modest increases in faculty to keep pace with growth of student enrollment and expenses beyond our control, primarily health insurance and energy. We have not cut back on programs or important services to our students, but we have not added staff nor provided significant salary increases. Generally our budgets have remained remarkably static over the last several years.

Andrew S. Griffiths COA Administrative Dean and Chief Financial Officer

1 Our operating budget differs from our audited financial statements as it includes the expense of capital equipment, but it does not include depreciation, and capital campaign expenses are capitalized.

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

As a trustee of College of the Atlantic, I have the pleasure of working with talented educators and volunteers, meeting students from all over the world, being exposed to new ideas, and being involved with people who want to invest in an educational enterprise which is vital and growing. Two people who make an extraordinary investment in COA are Shelby and Gale Davis. In 2000, Shelby and Gale founded a program to provide scholarship support for graduates of the United World College schools (two-year high school programs in 13 countries dedicated to rigorous academics and international understanding) to attend College of the Atlantic, Colby, Middlebury, Princeton or Wellesley. COA’s first class of Davis UWC Scholars included students from Albania, Belarus, China, Denmark, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, and Zimbabwe. Since then, over 150 students from 70 countries have attended the COA with support from the Davises. Today, the Davis United World College Scholars Program has greatly expanded and is the world’s largest privately funded international scholarship program, currently supporting over 2,400 students from 146 countries at more than 90 colleges and universities. According to Shelby, “The program and our scholars are committed to building cross-cultural understanding across campuses and ultimately throughout the world in the 21st century. The stability of our world, and ensuring America’s place in it, demand no less than an initiative this large in scale, innovative in design, and as powerful in impact.” Indeed, investing in education is an investment in the future of our world. The students at COA — bright, entrepreneurial, problem-focused, and self-directed — are inspiring to be around and are working today to make the world a better place. Other major investors in COA this year include the following: • Robert and Anne Bass who gave a challenge gift of $1.25 million for a chair in GeoSystems/Earth Sciences. • Ed McC. Blair bequeathed a $200,000 gift towards our new research vessel, Osprey. Ed’s friends Phoebe and Gerrish Milliken matched this gift, and Sam Hamill made a generous contribution towards this fund as well. • Kathryn W. Davis gave a $2 million challenge gift to establish a fund for Global and Civic Engagement Towards Peace. • John Kauffmann donated $250,000 for endowed scholarships. • Jay McNally ’84 was the first COA alumnus to give COA a million dollar gift. • Peggy and Henry Sharpe matched Jay McNally’s gift to establish the Richard Borden Chair in the Humanities and also funded a Sustainability Coordinator position named after former COA president David Hales. • David Rockefeller established a chair in Ecosystem Management and Protection Hundreds of others — listed in this report — are to be thanked for their enduring support of COA. In addition to its educational mission, the college enriches the cultural, economic, and environmental health of Mount Desert Island in many ways. I feel enriched by being involved with the COA. I thank all of you for your investment in the college’s future and hope that you feel enriched as well.

William G. Foulke, Jr. COA Board Chair

www.coa.edu/support | 5 A Philanthropy Report from the Dean of Development

Reports are often all about numbers and this year, the philanthropy numbers look good. In FY2011, COA received 1,604 cash gifts totaling $5,026,339 and numerous pledges totaling $5,281,432. The total raised for the year is $10,307,771. A bright spot for the year was alumni participation. Highlights for FY11 include: • Graduate giving reached 30.26%. This is an increase from 20% participation in FY10. • Total cash gifts from all alumni (including alumni trustees) in the fiscal year: $446,475.60 • Alumni volunteer participation was way up: at least 125 alumni gave time and talent, 81 for the admission effort alone. Then there are gifts with no numbers attached to them at all. Take for instance the land Former Trustee Tom Cox donated this year. The value of the pristine property of Norway Drive is in fact priceless. But what’s behind the figures is the thing to celebrate: Each gift that we received last year is a statement of belief in, and connection to, the College of the Atlantic. Parents, faculty, friends, trustees, students, staff, and of course alumni each give for a very personal reason. At its best, giving is a meaningful and rich experience — to both the giver and the recipient — regardless if the gift is $5 or $500,000. In the pages that follow, you will read first hand account of these connections and about the giving societies we’ve established ways to help celebrate them. It’s not the amount of the gift, but the steadfastness of the donor that counts here. For instance, the Year After Year Society (YAY!) is designed to recognize our loyal supporters who never miss a year of giving to COA. It’s not the amount of the gift, but the steadfastness of the donor that counts here. Another society is COA’s President’s Circle. Friends who give $25,000 or more to any fund are members. We can’t thank them enough! And recently, we launched our online membership club, The Black Fly Society. Did you know COA’s mascot was a Black Fly? (We’re small, but pesky!) Someone clever came up with the tagline: Give online and we won’t have to bug you! Whether you give online, through a foundation, write a check, transfer stock, or give in-kind, we thank each and every one of you. You help make COA’s community, culture, and academic excellence possible!

Lynn Boulger COA Dean of Development

Those who work at the college give a lot to COA each and every day. To tally the energy and intellect devoted to this place would exhaust any number cruncher: the miles of floors mopped by Russell Holway; the number of times Sarah Luke has taken a call in the middle of dinner and abandoned her meal to respond to an emergency; the hours of patient, late night help Dave Feldman has offered the math-weary; the gallons of Caesar salad dressing Lise Desrochers has whisked; the pounds of paper (not to mention people) Donna McFarland has ushered through the application process. We all work hard to keep this place going and we have earned the right to feel great pride in the accomplishments of our students and alumni. I give because it honors the place that inspires such hard work and commitment. We wouldn’t be here answering phones, counseling students, washing dishes, leading field trips, fixing furnaces, organizing events, updating catalogs, grading papers, processing payroll hours, ordering library books and interviewing prospectives if we didn’t love this place. In giving, I tip my hat to this community of co-workers I respect and the place where we all gather each day. Friends of COA Thank you to all our non-alumni friends who gave up to $1,499 to support COA’s Annual Fund in FY11.

22 | www.coa.edu/support Why I Give Ron Beard COA Trustee, Parent and Northern Lights Society Member Giving through the Northern Lights Society commits some of my resources to go on supporting what I believe in. But the real legacy lives in the day-to-day, year-to-year work of College of the Atlantic’s students and alumni. They are making the lasting and positive difference. I am inspired to give when I see COA students take hold of their learning and translate ideas into action with their very lives. Theirs is not a wishful, wispy hope that the world might be better; it is a solid muscular hope that lives out loud and calls others to join in the work of making it better.

26 | www.coa.edu/support Why we Give Helen Hess and Chris Petersen COA Faculty Members We give to COA for the same reasons we also give to other organizations like Sierra Club and Doctors Without Borders and our local library. We want to help make the world a better place, and we both strongly believe that education is key to a better future. Having both come from large public universities we love the small liberal arts model of education, and think COA does it in a powerful and unique way. We also give as an acknowledgement of the work that others do and the support that the college receives from so many people. A financial gift is a way to express our commitment to COA and our connection to our community. Our work with students and colleagues serves COA’s mission in one way; our financial contribution serves the College in another.
