ANNUAL REPORT 2012
facinghistory.org
“Facing History and Ourselves has become a standard
for ambitious and courageous programming . . . .
At a time when more and more of our population are
ignorant about history, and when the media challenge
the distinction between truth and fiction–indeed, the
very existence of truth–it is clear you must continue
to be the standard.”
Howard E. Gardner

Professor of Cognition and Education
and Adjunct Professor of Psychology

REDEFINING EDUCATION
29,000 educators were using Facing History and
Ourselves in fiscal year 2012.
An estimated
2,000,000 students are reached by
our network of trained educators each year.
8,100 educators participated in 325 professional
development offerings this year, which included in-depth
seminars and in-person and online workshops.
1,100,000 visits were made to our website,
facinghistory.org, in fiscal year 2012.
99%
of educators participating in a Facing
History and Ourselves seminar say they would
recommend it to their colleagues.
93%
of Facing History students are more
likely to recognize the dangers of
racial or religious stereotyping.
1,500
students can be influenced by
one Facing History educator
over the course of their careers.
NEW EDUCATOR RESOURCES: A Study Guide to Accompany the
Film Worse than War; A Guide to the Film BULLY: Fostering Empathy and
Action in Schools; and A Convenient Hatred: The History of Antisemitism
were published for classroom use this year.
48
new teachers were chosen to receive the Margot Stern Strom Teach-
ing Award in 2012. They are among
226 teachers who have earned this
recognition since its inception in 2006.

too many parts of the world have come to believe
that they don’t count. If democracy is to flourish and genocide is to be prevented,
our young people must receive the kind of education that helps them develop a
strong moral compass. If we assume that they will do so without help, we must be
held responsible when they do not.
Facing History and Ourselves is, always has been, and always will be about
communicating that big ideas matter. Our work connects intellect to compassion,
scholarship to self-reflection, a deep study of history to a deep concern for the
future. We encourage students to think more, reflect more, and feel more. And we
help them discover that the biggest idea of all is that humankind has a capacity
for both enormous evil and astonishing good.
Nothing I can write about Facing History and Ourselves can come close to the
power of the voice of a student whose mind and heart have been opened through
a Facing History class—and we reach more than 2 million students each year.
It is these students who inspire us. One former student wrote, “If one by one,
hundreds of children learn the evils of hatred in history, then learn to face and
change that history in their own world, who is to say that Facing History cannot be
a catalyst for an end to prejudice, violence, and injustice?” She understands the
need for Facing History and Ourselves to continue and grow.
leadership.
As board members, we must continue to harness and direct our collective energies
to advance Facing History’s mission and growth. Meeting the ever-growing demand
for Facing History’s transforming educator and student strategies requires all of us
to understand deeply the individual and global impact of our choices as members
of Facing History’s volunteer leadership. We must be good stewards, we must be
educated about the content, and we must work as a board to raise the funds and
build knowledge of our organization. We must also continue to build volunteer
leadership for the future, and I am encouraged by the exceptional and growing
strength and depth on our advisory boards and boards of directors and trustees.
Our annual report is a moment to recognize our philanthropic and organizational achievements, and I take special note of the endowment effort to fund the
Klarman Family Executive Director, so ably co-chaired by Richard Perry and Bill
Poorvu. I extend heartfelt thanks to donors to this fund who are investing in
Facing History’s intellectual and strategic leadership.
I express my gratitude to everyone in this report, our staff, and the many people
and organizations who speak well of our work and ensure its vitality. Together, we
will continue to build a better world for the next generation.
We need to do this together. We are prepared to increase our impact by reaching
more teachers with our programs and resources so that their students will recognize their responsibility to self and others by facing history and themselves.

2012 Gift report
A MESSAGE FROM USHA PASI
CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER
Dear Friends,
Giving to Facing History reached a record level in fiscal year 2012. 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 extraordinary 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.
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 history to a future defined by thoughtful,
compassionate choices and civic participation.

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 that 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 +1-617-735-1603 (U.S. and Canada)
or (011) 617-735-1603 (outside the United States).

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
TREASURER’S REPORT
Fiscal year 2012 was another monumental year for Facing History.
In the year that ended June 30, 2012, Facing History continued the
strong financial operating performance of the last several years and also
received significant gifts, specifically earmarked for its endowment.
A healthy revenue pipeline, increased market penetration, and strong
demand for Facing History’s services led to an increased annual budget,
from $17.85M in FY11 to $21.5M in FY12, enabling the organization to
further invest in the excellence and reach of its programs and the services
OUR SUCCESS AT RAISING MULTIYEAR GRANTS AND PLEDGES
ENABLED FACING HISTORY TO ENTER FY12 WITH 42% OF THE
ORGANIZATION’S EXPENSE BUDGET COVERED.
During FY12, previously secured multiyear pledges and grants made
a significant contribution to our ability to deliver programs and serve
teachers and students. Thanks to the dedication of our donors making
multiyear commitments, the percentage of total expenses covered by
funds secured in prior years has averaged between 40% and 47% over
the last several years.
These accomplishments allow Facing History to achieve greater impact
it provides to teachers and students. Thanks to the generosity of our loyal
and scale while simultaneously increasing our financial stability and
supporters and the increase in number of new donors, Facing History

cherished friends and board members who passed away this year: Sally Gordon,

been guided by their wisdom, learning so much from each. We will continue to be
enriched by the time they shared with us.
