Keep Growing

The mission of the Chicago Botanic Garden is to promote the enjoyment, understanding, and conservation of plants and the natural world.

Keep Growing

Sophia Siskel, President & CEO Opened to the public only 38 years ago this month, the Chicago Botanic Garden has grown rapidly from acorn to thriving sapling. The Garden offers exceptional beauty, lifelong learning, healing, inspiration, and scientific discovery. With branches extending into distant communities, always with a keen focus on the citizens of Cook County, the Garden’s programs serve people of all ages and abilities. In 2009, a year of economic crisis, the Garden’s staff, boards, volunteers, sponsors, and friends collaborated in remarkable ways. Together, we flourished. We set short-term records. We created ambitious yet thoughtful goals for the future, united by the title, “Keep Growing.” Over the next ten years, we will keep growing—deeper and stronger—to mature from splendid sapling to deep-rooted tree. We will fully realize our mission to promote the enjoyment, understanding, and conservation of plants and the natural world. A few highlights from 2009: Record-breaking attendance—almost 900,000 visits—and the largest membership support in the Garden’s history confirm the relevance of the Garden’s mission and underscore the importance of this unique life-affirming haven. •

The opening of the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Plant Conservation Science Center—on time and under budget—enables the Garden to fulfill its commitment to global leadership in plant conservation science and education. •

The continuation of a remarkable partnership with the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, its president, board of commissioners, and Steven M. Bylina, Jr., general superintendent, provides a thriving example of a model public/private enterprise. •

A new ten-year strategic plan—“Keep Growing”—charts a path to deepen the Garden’s impact across all programs and audiences. To focus our work and communicate with complete transparency, we have built a comprehensive new website around the plan: www.chicagobotanic.org/strategicplan. •

A strong bottom line in 2009 reverses the results of a disappointing 2008. In 2009 we all dug deeper. Each staff person committed to saving $5 a day. Donors maintained, and often even increased, their support. The Woman’s Board of the Chicago Horticultural Society and the Guild of the Chicago Botanic Garden intensified their efforts. The 700 families in the President’s Circle contributed more than half of the total Annual Fund. Corporate and foundation partners remained committed—as on-site volunteers and as financial sponsors. The Forest Preserve District of Cook County provided major critical, and timely, operating support. •

Writing this now, nearly six months already into 2010, I feel grateful for the opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments of 2009. While preparing this report, I have read each of your names and reflected on your generosity. I am honored to serve an institution to which you offer your time and expertise, share your resources, and entrust the memories of those you love. It is only together that the Chicago Botanic Garden will keep growing; your generosity will help provide a broad canopy of comfort, inspiration, healing, and knowledge to future generations, but also serve as a living memorial to those who loved the Garden before us. With sincere gratitude,

Susan A. Willetts, Chairman of the Board Last June, when I became chairman of the board, I was delighted by the opportunity to deepen my commitment to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Serving in this new capacity has allowed me to continue working on securing the Garden’s future. During 2009, the Garden—along with many other cultural institutions—faced the challenges of uncertain economic times. Then, as now, the board and staff adhered to the simple philosophy that good things will happen over the long term if we always remain true to the Garden’s mission and core values in the short term. Our commitment to these principles was strengthened by the Garden’s many successes last year. While the economy was uncertain, the response to the critical need for plant conservation science was not. The Plant Conservation Science Initiative has raised nearly $40 million—enough to open the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Plant Conservation Science Center last September and launch the new Ph.D. program in Plant Conservation Biology with Northwestern University. I deeply appreciate the generosity of the Garden’s board, corporate and foundation supporters, and friends, and remain confident in our ability to reach our fundraising goals. Despite our successes, the challenges we faced sharpened our focus on controlling our financial future. The Garden reduced expenses while expanding programs that provide new sources of revenue. These efforts, part of the newly adopted ten-year strategic plan, will allow the Garden to keep growing, and give us a firm foundation on which to begin to raise funds for the Children’s Learning Campus and other strategically important projects. I want to express my profound respect for the entire Chicago Botanic Garden staff. The breadth of their talents, award-winning and record-setting accomplishments, and devotion to the natural world inspire me. I thank them and the entire Garden community for the welcoming embrace and generous spirit that made an exceptional year even better. With appreciation,

Susan A. Willetts

The Chicago Botanic Garden Financials Executive Summary The Chicago Botanic Garden responded to the recent unprecedented turmoil in the financial markets by initiating a series of actions in 2009 to drive operating revenues while at the same time tightly controlling expenses. These actions successfully reduced the impact of the recession on the Garden’s finances and played a key role in making 2009 one of the most successful years in the Garden’s history. All of the actions were undertaken with the greatest deliberation and care to ensure that the Garden maintains its central mission. As a result, the Garden continues as an accessible place of enjoyment, understanding, and enrichment, as evidenced by the achievement of all-time attendance and membership records in 2009. Although 2009 was a banner year on many levels, the Garden remains committed to keeping expenses and revenues in balance through the work of dedicated boards, staff, volunteers, members, visitors, and the generous support of donors and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. A more detailed discussion of the Garden’s financial results for 2009 follows.

Operating Results The Garden ended 2009 with a surplus of $1.6 million, following a deficit of $1.5 million in 2008. Operating revenue (see page 4) increased to $28 million from $26.9 million in 2008, an increase of 4 percent. The increase resulted primarily from greater support from the Forest Preserve District combined with the record membership revenue, higher Annual Fund contributions, and several large new grants for Science and Community Education programs. When board-designated and restricted net assets are included, total revenue was $37.2 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from the 2008 total of $37.8 million. In addition, the Garden’s institutional investments (primarily the endowment) increased by $5.9 million, or approximately 18 percent, for the year. Actual operating expenditures in 2009 (see page 4) were $26.4 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 7 percent, from 2008. The decrease resulted from a hiring freeze, the elimination of a dozen positions, a 2 percent across-the-board salary reduction, and the strict monitoring of all other operating expenses during the year. Despite the lower expenses, the Garden continued to advance its key program initiatives and projects.

The Chicago Botanic Garden Financials Operating Results (continued) With the inclusion of depreciation, interest expense, major gift fundraising costs, and other designated expenditures that are not included in the operating budget, total expenses for 2009 were $36.4 million, a decrease of 4 percent from the $38.1 million incurred in 2008.

The Garden’s Statement of Financial Position (next page) reflects an increase in net assets of 6 percent to $130.5 million in 2009 from $122.8 million at the end of 2008. The increase was due FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT OF COOK COUNTY 33% mainly to the rebound in the performance of the institutional investments and the positive results from operations. The $85.3 million of unrestricted net assets represented the majority of total net assets, while $25.0 million were temporarily restricted, and $20.2 million were permanently restricted. This compares to $80.8 million of unrestricted net assets, $21.9 million of temporarily restricted net assets, and $20.1 million of permanently restricted net assets in 2008. Total assets increased from $181.0 million in 2008 to $188.0 million in 2009, an increase of $7 ADMINISTRATION million. The increase in asset value was due largely to the increase in the value of the Garden’s 13% institutional investments noted above.

Summary From record attendance to the successful opening of the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Plant Conservation Science Center, there has been no time in recent memory when the mission of the Chicago Botanic Garden—in all of its facets—has been more important. With the support of its board, staff, volunteers, members, visitors, and donors, and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, the Garden will maintain its stature as one of the foremost botanic gardens of the world, will continue growing to better serve the needs of its many audiences, and will advance its leadership role in plant conservation education and research throughout the region, the nation, and around the world. Complete audited financial statements for the Chicago Botanic Garden, including the auditor’s report, for the year ended December 31, 2009, are available at www.chicagobotanic.org/financialreport.
