FROM THE EXECUTIVES
We are pleased to share with you this report to our community. This past fiscal year, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History continued its nearly century-long
tradition of providing outstanding science education and conducting groundbreaking scientific research.
Our curators made noteworthy discoveries, including 20 new species of praying mantis from Central and South America and Africa; a new horned dinosaur with wing-like headgear named Mercuriceratops gemini for the twin fossils collected in Montana and Canada; a rare juvenile ape cranium fossil uncovered in China; and fossil research confirming the French origins of historic millstones in Ohio. These significant new finds shed light on our past and have broad conservation implications that can inform our future.
In September 2013, we convened the world’s leading paleoanthropologists for a symposium and workshop on human evolution as we unveiled our new Human Origins Gallery, which showcases the most accurate and complete skeletal reconstruction of the iconic “Lucy,” and a strikingly lifelike sculpture of this ancient hominin species.
The Museum’s living collection of preserved habitats grew to encompass more than 6,400 acres through the diligent efforts of our Natural Areas Program—ensuring the continued protection of rare local ecosystems in more than 10 counties.
Our curriculum-based educational programs reach schoolchildren in our city neighborhoods—including every second grader in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District through the “Inspire: Reach Every Child” program—and across the world via our distance learning studios. We strive to instill a love of science and nature among all ages through our classroom experiences, dynamic exhibitions and outdoor adventures to our pristine nature preserves.
For the 37th consecutive year, our Museum has achieved a balanced operating budget. This solid foundation of fiscal responsibility positions us to move forward with exciting and bold plans for the future of this amazing institution and the reinvention of our campus on University Circle.
Over the course of the past year, our team of leading architects, engineers, green building experts and exhibit designers have worked in close creative collaboration with Museum curatorial, education, exhibits and operations staff to deliver innovative solutions that realize our transformative vision for the Museum’s future and propel us toward physical construction of captivating new Museum experiences beginning in 2015.
This report is merely a snapshot of our accomplishments and the results of our efforts to promote learning, scientific literacy, discovery and stewardship of our natural world. A very special thank you to our donors, and foundation, corporate and government part-ners for your generous support. You have ensured that the vital work of our dedicated staff has a lasting impact on the communities that we serve.

For nearly 100 years, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has been a local and global leader in scientific research, education and conservation. Throughout its history, the Museum has conducted world-renowned scientific research while engaging guests of all ages in science, nurturing the curiosity of the next generation of thought leaders. With a permanent collection of more than 5 million objects, curatorial and research staff representing 11 scientific disciplines and robust educational programming for youth and adults alike, the Museum continues to embody a living commitment to an understanding of the natural world and our vital role in it.

• Provided continuing education to adults through Back to Basics, a series of classes covering topics from archaeology to evolutionary biology
• Conducted the first-ever expedition to hunt for evidence of dinosaurs in Greenland, which yielded the discovery of dinosaur tracks and nesting sites
• Hosted a two-day public symposium that welcomed an international group of experts on human origins
• Expanded Junior Medical Camp, a unique academic summer camp experience for elementary, middle and high school students interested in medical careers, to meet growing community demand
• Protected and preserved more than 6,400 acres of rare local habitats in more than 10 counties through the Natural Areas Program

A LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITY IMPACT
The Museum strives to deliver on its mission both across the globe and in its own backyard. Through research and educational programs, the Museum’s reach extends throughout the world. Our curators recently conducted fieldwork in Ethiopia, China, Greenland, and Central and South America. Distance learning programs connected Museum educators with students in 48 states—including Alaska—and as far away as Australia.
While its reach is broad, the Museum is dedicated to remaining accessible to Cleveland neighborhoods and the community surrounding its home in University Circle.
The Museum opened its doors to hundreds of thousands of guests this past year, the majority of whom come from Northeast Ohio. Holiday CircleFest and Martin Luther King Jr. Day are two of the days the Museum offered free admission. The Museum has worked with the Cleveland Public Library to make general admission tickets available for check out from select branches, providing library patrons the ability to visit the Museum at no cost and fostering opportunities for educational programming between the Museum and the local public library branches.
The Museum is an educational resource for individuals of any age who demonstrate a passion for scientific knowledge. Each year, adults and seniors participate in a range of educational programs at the Museum and off-site in the Museum’s Natural Areas preserves. Adult educational programming provides a valuable, accessible means for adults to build connections in their community while pursuing an informal study of science and nature.

MARIE ODENKIRK CLARK SOCIETY
The Marie Odenkirk Clark Society recognizes those who have participated in Museum gift-planning programs or those who have named the Museum as beneficiary in their estate plans.
The Society honors Marie Odenkirk Clark, a former Board of Trustees President. She was very supportive of the Museum’s mission and dedicated to insuring its strength in perpetuity. To that end, she created a planned gift that continues to support Museum operations and is a constant reminder of her love for the Museum.

MAJOR LIFETIME BENEFACTORS
The Cleveland Museum of Natural History traces its roots back to 1835 when a group of young Cleveland citizens with a mutual interest in science and natural history met in a small building they named the “Ark.” Known as the “Arkites,” they were soon joined by Dr. Jared Potter Kirtland, eminent scientist, naturalist and physician. To honor his leadership, the organization’s name was changed to The Kirtland Society of the Natural Sciences. In 1927, the Museum became the legal successor to The Kirtland Society of the Natural Sciences. Since its incorporation in 1920, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History has enjoyed a long tradition of generous private support, without which it would not be the outstanding community resource that it is today.
The Museum honors those friends whose vision, leadership and extraordinary philanthropy have provided the cumulative support for the Museum’s physical plant, research and educational programs. This type of cumulative giving, over periods of time from a very stalwart group of donors, indicates that there is a mutual respect for this Museum and what it accomplishes – to collect, interpret and educate people about our natural world.
The Museum has touched and stimulated the intellectual curiosity of this group, culminating in significant
13
gifts that have enabled the Museum to flourish and grow into a nationally and internationally recognized organization. The generous donors on the list below represent gifts in excess of $132 million.
The Wade Society, named for the Wade family whose members included a Museum founder and trustees, commemorates donors of $1 million or more.
