THANKS TO YOU . . . . . . . . . .Facing History and OurselvesAnnual Report 2011

Facing History and Ourselves is an international educational and profes-sional development organization whose mission is to engage students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry. By studying the historical development of the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives.

A MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTORMARGOT STERN STROM

“After a week at Facing History I came home feeling profoundly en-couraged about the potential for a restitution of meaning and purpose in my own teaching, and consider-ably more hopeful for the possibili-ties of education at large.” -Facing History teacher

This annual report thanks you on behalf of the thou-

sands of teachers who, like the seminar participant

quoted above, have the opportunity to learn with us

and with their fellow educators. We are grateful for

our extraordinary board leadership, our loyal and

generous supporters, our staff and volunteers, and

the educators and students who participate in our

programs.

Today, Facing History’s work is more important than

ever. As Howard Gardner, professor at the Harvard

Graduate School of Education, says, “Facing History

and Ourselves has become a standard for ambitious

and courageous programming . . . . At a time when

more and more of our population is ignorant about

history, and when the media challenge the distinc-

tion between truth and fiction–indeed, the very

existence of truth–it is clear you must continue to be

the standard.”

As we face the challenge of bringing effective civic

education to schools, with studies documenting

the decline of student engagement, tolerance, civic

skills, knowledge of history and of the Holocaust, we

must strengthen our efforts to preserve civil society.

Over the next five years, Facing History plans to

double the number of Facing History teachers imple-

menting in classrooms worldwide and the number

of students reached in those classrooms, enabling

transformative dialogue and action around the world.

We see the demand and are poised to meet it.

This year, Facing History received a transformational

investment from a visionary donor. Richard and Su-

san Smith, and the Richard and Susan Smith Family

Foundation, have committed $15.5 million to fund

a full revision of Facing History and Ourselves: Ho-

locaust and Human Behavior, and endow the Smith

Family Provost at Facing History. This extraordinary

gift will enable Facing History to fully review, update,

and infuse new scholarship into our core resource, all

within a digital framework that makes the lessons of

history accessible to students everywhere. The Smith

Family Provost will play a key role in preserving the

quality of our organization, advancing our mission

and strategic vision, and inspiring new generations of

supporters.

We brought our boards, friends, and staff to Wash-

ington and New York to do what Facing History does

best: teach and learn together and create our future.

We began the celebration of Seth Klarman’s 16 years

of leadership of the Board of Directors. Seth was

interviewed by Charlie Rose and toasted by all. He

will now co-chair the Board of Trustees with Dana

ing them the same favor that a board member did for

me and Beth 21 years ago. I have learned about the

complexity of organizations, and the challenges and

opportunities that come with growth and change.

My Facing History-centric lens allows me to see with

greater clarity the problems that face democratic

societies and the solutions that are within our grasp.

I have greatly enjoyed the deep friendships with

board members engaged in a shared mission with

common purpose. I have formed lifelong friendships

with many members of Facing History’s amazing,

tireless, and inspiring staff. I know of virtually no

other organization with as many talented and deeply

committed team members, moving mountains to turn

a vision into a reality. Millions upon millions of ado-

lescents have benefitted from this crucially important

work. I know that I have grown as a leader through

the support of our board members, donors, and staff.

The work of Facing History must continue if our

children and grandchildren are to inhabit the world

that we wish them to. In these tumultuous years of

economic difficulty, fading dreams, rising inequality,

disillusionment with our leaders, revolutions through-

out the Arab and Muslim world, and social unrest

here at home, we must not be passive observers as

if we were watching a depressing movie with no role

in the ending. Facing History reminds us that the

ending is not written and that we will determine the

ending. Our democracy depends on it. The next gen-

eration relies on it. Our conscience demands it. We

must be tireless, relentless, and focused in our work,

teaching the next generation the lessons of history,

instilling in them the ability to stand in the shoes of

others and become deep moral thinkers.

I extend my deepest thanks to the board members,

friends, and supporters whose generosity is high-

lighted in this annual report. It has been and will

continue to be an honor to work with you to achieve

our shared goals.

A MESSAGE FROM BOARD CHAIR SETH A. KLARMAN

Several years ago, my rabbi explained to the congre-

gation the vicissitudes of the ebb and flow of life. In

life we receive gifts and then we have to give them

back. Our loved ones, our careers, our health are

precious gifts. We have them and hold onto them for

a while, but then, something changes, and we lose

our hold on them and have to give them back. I have

had the gift for 16 years of serving as Chair of the

Board of Directors of Facing History and Ourselves.

It has been as special a gift as I have known. But

now, in the best interest of Facing History, it is time

for me to move on; it is time for me to give it back.

I will still be around to help, but I will no longer be

Chair of the Board of Directors. I will co-chair the

Board of Trustees with Dana Smith. Tracy Palandjian

was named as Chair of the Board of Directors at the

November 2 Annual Meeting of the Board of Trust-

ees and Directors. I could not be more confident

that Tracy will lead this organization to new heights

of excellence and organizational success.

Over these wonderful years, I got much more from

Facing History than I was able to give it. I have be-

come a better, more nuanced leader. I have become

a more confident fundraiser, secure that when I

introduce someone to Facing History, I am likely do-

Smith. A fund is being established in the Klarman

family name to endow the Executive Directorship of

Facing History.

On a personal note, Seth has been my partner,

trusted editor, and wise leader to all my colleagues

at Facing History. As we grew, the relationship with

Seth and his family deepened. Beth Klarman created

the first New England Advisory Board and served with

Seth as a leader in building this international organi-

zation. Both Beth and Seth’s philanthropy and part-

nership have been extraordinarily important to Facing

History. Their wisdom, intellect, and generosity have

supported and guided our organization and prepared

us for the future, poised to attract new families and

new leaders. Seth’s active partnership going forward

as we develop new content and forge Facing History’s

future will continue to strengthen us.

We welcome Tracy Palandjian to lead our organiza-

tion as Chair of the Board of Directors. Tracy is an

inspirational business, philanthropic, and community

leader who has assumed multiple leadership roles in

the 12 years she has been involved with Facing His-

tory and helped us extend our reach and impact.

Kwame Anthony Appiah is the new Chair of the

Board of Scholars, succeeding Martha Minow, dean

of Harvard Law School, who will remain on our

Board. Anthony is a leading scholar at Princeton Uni-

versity whose writing on political and moral theory,

the philosophy of language and mind, and African

intellectual history have informed our work for many

years.

These chairs are joining our strong and continuing

board leaders. All are a testimony to Facing History’s

excellence, the quality of our scholarship, and our

commitment to global education.

The health of our democratic society depends on

engaging and quality civic education. We share the

responsibility, the obligation, and the opportunity

to continue to enrich and preserve the excellence

of Facing History’s work. At a time when trends

demonstrate a lack of both empathy and students’

belief that they can make a difference, your support

and leadership gives teachers the skills to become

better teachers who engage students in deep learning

that influences the decisions they make for the rest

of their lives.

“We know that [Facing History has] made an impact when [students are] not thinking anymore just about their class and their life, but they’re thinking about how their voice can make a difference in this world.”-School principal, New York

One of Facing History’s most significant public initiatives is

a series of Community Conversations presented in partner-

ship with The Allstate Foundation. These events, hosted

across the country, bring prominent scholars, authors,

filmmakers, and policy leaders to participate in discussions

about civic engagement, individual, and collective respon-

sibility, and compassion. Since its inception in 2005, the

Community Conversations series has reached more than

40,000 teachers, students, parents, policy makers, and

members of the broader community who come together to

learn from some of the most influencial voices on the chal-

lenges facing our society.

Recent speakers included Roxana Saberi, author of Between

Two Worlds: My Life and Captivity in Iran; Daniel Goldhagen,

author of Worse Than War: Genocide, Eliminationism and

the Ongoing Assault on Humanity; Wes Moore, author of The

Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates; human rights activ-

ist John Prendergast and Oscar-nominated actor Don Chea-

dle, authors of The Enough Moment (pictured bottom), and

Maya Lin, internationally-acclaimed artist, National Medal of

Arts winner, and designer of the Vietnam War Memorial and

the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama.

“That was an amazing experience!” one participant wrote

after hearing Roxana Saberi speak in Cleveland. “We faced

history last night—literally.”

The Smith Family

The Allstate Foundation

Richard and Susan Smith and the Richard and

Susan Smith Family Foundation are making a trans-

formational gift to Facing History and Ourselves. The

Smiths have committed $15.5 million to fund a full

revision of Facing History and Ourselves: Holocaust

and Human Behavior, and to endow the Smith Fam-

ily Provost at Facing History.

In making the gift, Mr. Smith said, “Warmest con-

gratulations to you, Margot, and all at Facing History

who have worked so hard to make the organization

what it is today. I am proud to have been a part of

Facing History’s past, but I am even prouder to make

this new gift aimed at helping Facing History carry

out its vital mission for decades to come.”

This visionary gift will enable Facing History to fully

review, update, and infuse new scholarship into our

Facing History and Ourselves 2011 Annual Report 54 Facing History and Ourselves 2011 Annual Report

core resource, all within a digital framework that

makes the lessons of history accessible to students

everywhere. The Smith Family Provost will play a key

role in extending the quality that has been created,

advancing our mission and strategic vision, and

inspiring new generations of supporters.

“The Smith family has been part of Facing History

since 1983, and they have led our organization with

distinction and vision. Dick and Susan have been ex-

emplary leaders and we are privileged that Dana and

Rob Smith lead us now. Their family has been at the

forefront of Facing History’s growth, encouraging our

program growth and technological transformation,”

said Margot Stern Strom, president and executive

director.

vided professional development for more

than 29,000 educators. Our network of

trained educators reaches more than 2,000,000 students each year. In fiscal

perience film Freedom Riders, and Teaching “Reporter” accom-

panies the feature documentary about New York Times journalist

Nicholas Kristof on a reporting trip to central Africa.

. Facing History celebrates outstanding teachers. We chose 27 new teachers to receive Margot Stern Strom Teaching Awards

in 2011. They are among 178 teachers who have received this

recognition since its inception in 2006.


2011 GIFT REPORT

A MESSAGE FROM TRACY P. PALANDJIANELECTED CHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORSNOVEMBER 2, 2011

I am honored and humbled to be succeeding Seth

Klarman as Chair of the Board of Directors of

Facing History and Ourselves, and deeply moved

by the trust placed in me by this extraordinary

organization.

When I first became involved with Facing History

a dozen years ago, I expected that I would be sup-

porting an important cause, learning something

new, and meeting engaging people. These expecta-

tions have been met and then some. What I never

anticipated–or even realized was possible–was

how much this mission, this organization, and the

“family” would come to mean to me. I believe I

have become a better student. A better parent. A

better citizen. I have been given new tools to

assess information and new lenses to see the world.

And I have been inspired to choose to participate.

A MESSAGE FROM USHA PASICHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

SUSTAINING GIFT PROGRAM

For more than three decades, Facing History has engaged students in the study of history and

ethical decision-making in order to teach civic responsibility, tolerance, courage, and compassion.

With increasing demand from schools and teachers, and impact data that demonstrates the

continued effectiveness of our work, Facing History depends on the increased investment of annual

support from leadership donors to reach more students each year.

Facing History and Ourselves’ Sustaining Gift Program has grown to include 86 families,

foundations, and corporations. These major commitments are the cornerstone of our work and

program planning.

Multiyear commitments and annual gifts of $100,000 or more are recognized in the Sustaining Gift

Program. This list reflects commitments or gifts received from July 1, 2010 to February 9, 2012.

Each of you stopped to think about the critical

relationship between education and civil society this

year; you gave of your time and resources; and you

brought new friends to Facing History and Ourselves.

You understand the importance of Facing History’s

work, and you are helping to build a global society

that links a deep and rigorous understanding of his-

tory to a future defined by thoughtful, compassionate

choices and civic participation.

Dear Friends,

Giving to Facing History reached a record level in

fiscal year 2011. In addition to receiving the largest

commitment in our history, the number of donors

reached an all-time high, and we were honored to

meet the Memphis Challenge through an extraordi-

nary response from donors. We continue to fund the

majority of our operating budget with gifts and grants

from individuals, foundations, and corporations, and

we are indebted to every donor for their belief in the

effectiveness and importance of Facing History.

The work of Facing History and Ourselves is essen-

tial, and more so every day. Challenging times create

economic and social pressures that can undermine

the most basic human values. Facing History teaches

students that they should never accept what they

see at face value, but to question what is presented,

examine it from different perspectives, and weigh it

morally. By encouraging self-reflection and stepping

into the shoes of others, Facing History provides stu-

dents with a framework to make moral choices and to

appreciate the impact of those choices. Through our

content and pedagogy, Facing History connects in an

explicit way what students learn in the classroom to

complexities in the world and life beyond.

I am committed to bringing Facing History to as

many students, teachers, schools, and communities

as can possibly be reached, and energized to embark

on this new leadership role to help make it happen.

The need today could not be more profound.

Facing History is able to use every available dollar to bring programs to teachers and students in

part because of the generous in-kind gifts and pro bono professional services donated by our friends

and supporters. Corporate donors of in-kind gifts and services are listed on page 18, and we are

grateful for their generous support. Board and committee members and other volunteers in Chicago,

Cleveland, Denver, London, Los Angeles, Memphis, New England, New York, the San Francisco Bay

REMEMBRANCE SOCIETY

In 1994, two wonderful friends and board members of Facing History, Sandra and Philip Gordon,

started the Remembrance Society, a group of supporters who have chosen to make planned gifts

to Facing History and Ourselves. To date, more than 100 individuals and families—including board

members, staff, new friends of the organization, and even a student from the very first Facing History

classroom—have joined the Gordons by including Facing History in their estate plans. We are

extraordinarily grateful to these individuals for their kindness to Facing History.

Members of the Remembrance Society are recognized in the Remembrance Society Honor Roll

in the Annual Report. Those who wish to have their estate plans remain confidential are listed

anonymously. We appreciate knowing an individual’s intentions so we can provide Remembrance

Society updates and reports and can extend our appreciation privately.

For more than 35 years, Facing History has been an invaluable resource for educators nationally

and internationally. It is clear that the need for our programs—and the interest in them—is expanding.

With careful planning, your estate can provide for loved ones and continue to benefit Facing History

and Ourselves. Members of the Remembrance Society may include Facing History and Ourselves in

their estate plans through the following vehicles: bequests, charitable remainder trusts, life insurance

gifts, and retirement plan assets.

If you would like more information about planned giving opportunities and how to become a

member of the Remembrance Society, please contact the Development Office at 617-735-1603 or

011-617-735-1603.

THANKS TO YOUR SUPPORT . . . . Nearly 10,000 people, including students and teachers,

visited Choosing to Participate at the Historical Society

of Washington, DC, in the spring of 2011. The exhibit

opened in Memphis for fall 2011 and will travel next to

Chicago in fall 2012. Thank you to The Walmart Founda-

tion, national sponsor, and all of our funders and

volunteers.

Since 1998, Choosing to Participate has traveled to eight

American cities, reaching more than 400,000 people.

. Survivor testimonies—firsthand accounts from individu-

als who lived through the Holocaust and other atrocities—

help students more deeply appreciate and empathize with

the human dimensions of important moments in history.

In fiscal year 2011, these powerful stories were shared

with 26,000 students and 2,000 teachers.

. We introduced five new self-paced online workshops

this year to enable educators to learn with us anytime,

anywhere. Topics included community responses to hate

crimes, the role of news media, the formation of the Inter-

national Criminal Court, and civic participation.

. We distributed more than 13,000 published resources,

and our library loaned more than 13,000 books, DVDs, and

other resources to educators this year through our online

circulation system. More than 29,000 copies of Facing

History resources were downloaded from our website.

“In Facing History we learned that indifference is the enemy . . . each story is important, each survivor a miracle, each perpetrator worth trying to understand for the sake of all of us. ”Facing History student



FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: TREASURER’S REPORTThe fiscal year that ended June 30, 2011 saw a return to

the growth that characterized most of the last decade. A

healthier revenue pipeline and stronger market conditions

led to an increased annual budget, from $16.5M in FY10

to $17.85M in FY11. This increased budget enabled the

organization to reinvest in the excellence and reach of

its programs and the services it provides to teachers and

students. Thanks to the generous support of our loyal donor

base, Facing History was able to conclude the year with a

modest operating surplus.

LED BY SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT AND MANY NEW GIFTS

FACING HISTORY RAISED A RECORD $30.8M IN SUPPORT

AND REVENUE

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles

(GAAP), Facing History books the entire value of multi-

year pledges and grants as Temporarily Restricted Revenue

in the year the pledge or gift is made. Twice in the last

decade, renewal and new multiyear gifts have resulted in

peaks of revenue in the year the initial pledge is received.

In the subsequent middle years of these pledge payments,

Facing History often broke even on a cash basis showing a

deficit in our audit, a result of having booked the value of

cash payments in the year the original pledge was made.

Since 1998—despite these annual variances—Facing

History has averaged a 1.3% annual contribution to Net

Assets, while growing the operating budget from $6M to

$21.5M in FY12.

In FY11, Facing History secured $30.8M in Total Support

and Revenue, an increase of 126% from the prior year. The

value of new Temporarily Restricted contributions increased

to $14.6M from $4.9M. Unrestricted contributions for the

current fiscal year, which comprise an important part of the

organization’s operating budget, increased by 10% from

$6.5M to $7.2M. Two revenue line items declined from

FY10 to FY11. Fees for services rendered declined 5%

from $940K to $897K and Sales of Books and Materials

declined 29% from $229K to $178K.

OUR SUCCESS AT RAISING MULTIYEAR GRANTS AND PLEDGES

ENABLED FACING HISTORY TO ENTER FY11 WITH 39% OF THE

ORGANIZATION’S EXPENSE BUDGET COVERED.

During FY11, previously secured multiyear pledges and

grants made a significant contribution to our ability to

deliver programs and serve teachers and students. As a

result of Facing History’s success at securing signature

multiyear funding, the percentage of total expenses covered

by funds secured in prior years has steadily increased.

These accomplishments suggest that Facing History can

achieve greater impact and scale while simultaneously

increasing our financial stability and resilience to market

risk. Securing multiyear commitments plays a vital role in

both strategies, which were critically important for Facing

History in 2011. Having an increasing share of operating

expenses funded by longer term commitments provides

additional confidence that we can successfully achieve

Facing History’s long-term programming and sustainability

goals.

FACING HISTORY INCREASED NET ASSETS TO $40M AT THE

END OF FY11

In FY11, Total Assets increased 52% from $27.1M to

$41.2M. This increase was largely driven by new significant

pledge commitments, as well as by strong investment

returns. Pledges and Grants Receivable, increased 106%

from $10.5M in FY10 to $21.6M in FY11. Cash and

equivalents increased to $2.9M from $2.5M. Investments

increased 24% from $11.2M to $13.8M. In total, Cash and

liquid Investments at the end of FY11 represented 6.45

months of Operating Expenses, compared to 5.7 months

of Operating Expenses at the end of FY10. In addition

to Facing History’s liquid Investments, the organization’s

Permanently Restricted Endowment increased 30% from

$5.4M at the end of FY10 to $7.7M at the end of FY11.

Total investment returns on Facing History’s liquid

Investments and Endowment totaled 12.2% of our

portfolio value at the start of the fiscal year. Total liabilities

increased during FY11 by 11% from $1.4M to $1.55M.

Other than assorted payables outstanding at year end, the

bulk of Facing History’s debt obligations consisted of the

$944K balance outstanding on a loan secured for building

renovations. This loan has a fixed rate of 4.95% and is

amortized through FY15.

Total Net Assets increased 54% from $25.8M in FY10 to

$39.6M in FY11 [see chart 1]. This increase resulted from

gains across all three Net Asset classes. Unrestricted Net

Assets increased over the course of the year by 17% from

$7.67M to $8.93M.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Board of

Trustees, I want to especially thank the members of the

Finance Committee, the Audit Committee, and both the

management and staff of Facing History for all their hard

work, unwavering support, and continued commitment to

the organization’s success.

“Facing History and Ourselves elicits from young people serious moral responses to difficult moral questions, and I think we need as much of that as we can get.”

Kwame Anthony AppiahProfessor, Princeton University Department of Philosophy & University Center for Human Values

Appiah was recently awarded the 2011 National Humanities Medal. He succeeds Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow as Chair of the Facing History and Ourselves Board of Scholars.


Facing History reaches nearly two milllion students each year across the globe. With your help we can, and should, be reaching millions more.

WHERE WE WORK

Facing History has global impact through programs on the ground and website resources that are accessed by people all over the world.


Facing History and Ourselves is an international educational and profes-sional development organization whose mission is to engage students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry. By studying the historical development of the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives.
