“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.”

A MESSAGE FROM MARGOt StERn StROMKlARMAn FAMily EXECUtiVE DiRECtOR
The need for Facing History and Ourselves today
is greater than I ever imagined when we began
our journey 36 years ago. Turn on the TV, pick up
a newspaper, or enter a chat room and you will
quickly discover that ethnic and religious violence
is brewing around the world. Almost everywhere,
the realities of history are denied in favor of ro-
manticized narratives. Many people feel discon-
nected globally; and in many places, students are
dropping out of school even as talented teachers
are leaving the profession. Too many children in
too many parts of the world have come to believe
This has been an extraordinary year for Facing
History and Ourselves and in my life as I took
on the role of chair of the Board of Directors. I
have the privilege of working with exceptional
organizational leaders, including Seth Klarman
and Dana Smith in leading our Board of Trustees,
and Kwame Anthony Appiah as chair of the Board
of Scholars. I am especially pleased that Margot
Stern Strom is the inaugural Klarman Family
Executive Director, and I join the many members
of the Facing History family in applauding her
leadership.
A MESSAGE FROM tRACy PAlAnDJiAnCHAiR, BOARD OF DiRECtORS
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 organization-
al 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.
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.
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 recog-
nize their responsibility to self and others by facing history and themselves.
Facing History’s 2012 conference, “Engaging Education: Rethinking Learn-
ing, Teaching, and Achievement in Urban Schools,” is convening practitioners,
scholars, students, and the community to examine how to create schools where all
youth can thrive.
Students in Douglass High School in Memphis, one example of a powerful elective
Facing History class, have demonstrated the positive effect of their Facing History
experience despite a challenging social and economic environment. According to
Steve Becton, senior associate for Urban Education and Organizational Initiatives
who works closely with Douglass High, these young people become engaged and
energized as they realize their ability to impact their school and their community.
The Rita Allen Foundation has made a leader-
ship commitment to Facing History’s program in
urban education. With the Foundation’s support
and that of the Memphis endowment donors,
Facing History has launched its Urban Civic
Learning Lab in Memphis, Tennessee.
Elizabeth Good Christopherson, the foundation’s
president and chief executive officer, said, “Fac-
ing History’s approach guides students through
the lessons gathered from the past to a new
language and interactions, and perspectives that
help young people face the ethical and practi-
cal decisions we are confronted with in today’s
society.”
In 2007, a group of Facing History board members and friends led by Anla Cheng
Kingdon with Cecilia Chan, Michelle Koo, Tracy Palandjian, Michael Tse, Charlene
Wang, Shirley Wang, and the China Project Committee, began to work with staff to
investigate how we might expand our international reach to China in response to
interest from teachers and scholars within our network. The China Project was the
result. A robust effort to promote deeper cross-cultural understanding of history is
bringing a better understanding of Chinese history to U.S. classrooms, while work
with educators in China introduces Chinese youth to Facing History and Ourselves:
Holocaust and Human Behavior and related resources.
The China Project Committee has supported the project with funding, introduc-
tions in China, and guidance on offering an Asian-Pacific perspective to our work.
A substantial resource on the history and legacy of the Nanjing Massacre in China
in 1937 is being developed. Dimitry Anselme, Facing History’s lead in China,

says, “The Second World War was a global event
with devastating consequences in many societies
beyond Europe. This historical case study of mass
murder by a country allied with the Nazis will
allow us to complicate our understanding of how
issues of ideology, group identity, nationalism,
and colonialism influenced Asia and the Pacific
region.”
Facing History is working closely with 12 schools
in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Shenzen, and Hong
Kong, and has developed several university and

2,200 educators from across the globe have participated in China Project activ-
ities. For educators in the United States. and other countries beyond China, we
have created study guides for Red Scarf Girl: A Memoir of the Cultural Revolution
and the PBS documentary, Becoming American: The Chinese Experience.
Funded with a generous grant from lead
Chicago sponsor Aon Corporation, and as part of
the five-city tour funded by The Walmart Foun-
dation, Facing History and Ourselves’ nationally
acclaimed multimedia exhibition, Choosing to
Participate, was presented in Chicago in fall 2012
to encourage conversations about the role of
each individual to combat prejudice and defend
democratic values. Greg Case, CEO of Aon, says
“Choosing to Participate is . . . a powerful catalyst
for community conversations about preventing
Ambassador John L. Loeb, Jr., and the George Washington Institute for Religious
Freedom have made a leadership commitment to Facing History for an exciting
three-year project that explores the history and legacy of George Washington’s
1790 Letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island. A signal
moment in the history of religious freedom, Washington’s Letter promises that the
government of the United States would “give to
bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.”
In it, Washington defined freedom of religious
choosing To parTicipaTe: engaging sTudenTs and The communiTy
give bigoTry no sancTion: george washingTon’s pledge To religious pluralism
belief as an “inherent natural right.”
Washington was writing in response to a message
from Moses Seixas, warden of Newport’s Hebrew
Congregation. Seixas’s address reflected the fear
of religious persecution that remained a force in
the lives of Jews and other religious minorities.
Washington’s Letter made clear that minorities
should have nothing to fear from government
authorities.
bullying, hate, and bigotry. . . . This is civic involvement and civic education at
its best.”
Each host city developed major outreach initiatives that engaged students and
teachers, supporters and friends, to maximize the exhibition’s impact. The host
cities also produced local installations reflecting the exhibition’s themes.
Chicago’s initiative was developed with the exemplary leadership of spring 2012
benefit dinner Co-Chairs Greg Case, James Reynolds, and Albert R. Grace, Jr.,
of Loop Capital Markets; Advisory Board Chair Jill Garling; Honorary Chair Mayor
Rahm Emanuel; and a stellar group of area volunteers. The exhibit was a central
component of Now Is The Time, a series of workshops, performances and online
opportunities facilitated by Facing History, the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, and
the Chicago Public Library funded by The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
Foundation.
Choosing to Participate was presented with great success in fall 2011 in Memphis
in partnership with the Memphis Public Library and Honorary Chairs Mayor Mark
Luttrell and Mayor AC Wharton. The National Honorary Advisory Committee for
Choosing to Participate includes filmmaker Steven Spielberg, Congressman John
Lewis, and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor among others who have made significant
contributions to strengthening civic life.
Ambassador Loeb says, “We are living again in a moment when many are asking
what it means to be both a member of a religious faith and a citizen of a

democracy. Washington’s Letter defines what citizenship means to ethnic and
immigrant groups that may be new to this country or different from the majority in
their religious beliefs.”
As we bring together scholars with diverse perspectives on the Washington Letter
and encourage students and teachers to respond to its themes, we will develop
lesson plans, hold workshops and community events, and collect written materials
to be published in a resource book that showcases the Washington Letter and dia-
logue about pluralism and democracy. “The story of the Washington Letter opens
a powerful window into U.S. history that resonates with teachers and students as
they consider what it means to participate in a democracy,” says Adam Strom,
Facing History’s chief officer for Content and Innovation.

2012 GIFT REpORT
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 94 families, foundations, and corporations. These major
commitments are the cornerstone of our work and program planning.
a message from usha pasichief 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.
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, 2011, to June 30, 2012.

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).
“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?” - student

SUppORTING OUR wORk AROUND THE wORlD
38 Facing History and Ourselves 2012 Annual Report 39
“Students get hooked by Facing History. They start to see that history doesn’t just happen, that it occurs because of actions people like themselves decide to take.” - teacher
14,000 students and 600 teachers heard firsthand
accounts from individuals who lived through the Holocaust and
other witnesses to history through our survivor network.
Facing History engaged almost 4,000 educators in a host
of online professional development this year as we continued
expanding our online educational presence.
We have trained and supported over 5,000 educators from
countries outside the United States ranging from Albania to
Zambia. The Edmond J. Safra Foundation has provided leader-
ship support of the annual international seminar in London.
We distributed more than 25,000 published resources
this year, doubling our total for fiscal year 2011.
115,000 people, including students and teachers, visited
our multimedia exhibit Choosing to Participate in Memphis,
Tennessee, in the fall of 2011. The exhibit is being present-
ed in Chicago in fall 2012. Since 1998, the exhibit has trav-
eled to nine American cities, reaching more than 500,000
people thanks to the support of The Walmart Foundation, its
national sponsor, and all of our funders and volunteers.

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
it provides to teachers and students. Thanks to the generosity of our loyal
supporters and the increase in number of new donors, Facing History
again was able to conclude the year with a modest operating surplus.
LED BY SIGNIFICANT OPERATING AND ENDOWMENT GIFTS, FACING
HISTORY RAISED A RECORD $30.6M IN SUPPORT AND REVENUE.
Since 2001, Facing History has averaged a 2.6% surplus from
operations, while growing the operating budget from $9.7M to $21.5M.
In FY12, Facing History secured $30.6M in Total Support and Revenue,
thanks to significant contributions received in honor of Seth Klarman,
co-chair of the Board of Trustees, which enabled Facing History to
increase Permanently Restricted contributions to $9.3M in FY12.
Additionally, unrestricted contributions, which comprise an important
part of the organization’s operating budget, increased by 30% from
$7.2M to $9.3M. Facing History’s three sources of non-philanthropic
revenue—Fees, Sales, and Investment Income—increased 34% to $2M.
The only revenue line item to decline from FY11 to FY12 was Temporarily
Restricted contributions, from $14.6M to $9.2M.
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
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 2012 due to our significant budget increase; multiyear commitments
provide us with additional confidence that we can successfully achieve
Facing History’s long-term programming and sustainability goals.
FACING HISTORY INCREASED ITS NET ASSETS TO $47M AT THE END
OF FY12.
In FY12, Total Assets increased 17% from $41.2M to $48.2M. This
increase was largely driven by the significant new contributions to Facing
History’s endowment, as well as by positive investment returns. In total,
Investments increased 59% from $13.8M to $21.9M. Pledges and
Grants Receivable decreased 0.8% from $21.6M in FY11 to $21.4M in
FY12. Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased from $2.9M from $2.3M. In
total, Cash and Unrestricted Investments at the end of FY12 represented
5.9 months of Operating Expenses, compared to 6.45 months of Operating
Expenses at the end of FY11. In addition to Facing History’s Unrestricted
Investments, the organization’s Restricted Endowment increased 86%

Permanently restricted
total net assets at fisCal year-enD
from $7.7M at the end of FY11 to $14.3M at the end of FY12.
At FY12 year-end, Facing History’s board chose to take advantage of
the organization’s strong financial position and pay down the outstanding
balance of a bank loan secured for building renovations. Removing this
loan, which had been valued at $944K at the end of FY11, was primarily
responsible for reducing Total Liabilities in FY12 from $1.5M to $960K.
Total Net Assets increased 19.3% from $39.6M in FY11 to $47.3M
in FY12 [see below]. This increase resulted from an 80.7% increase in
Permanently Restricted Net Assets and a 9.6% increase in Unrestricted
Net Assets. Temporarily Restricted Net Assets declined 13.9%.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Board of Trustees, I want to
once again thank the members of the Finance Committee and the Audit
Committee, and both the management and staff of Facing History, for all
their hard work, unwavering support, and continued commitment to our
organization’s long-term financial sustainability and success.

Facing History and Ourselves acknowledges with great sadness the loss of our cherished friends and board members who passed away this year: Sally Gordon, Myra Kraft, Irving W. Rabb, and Manoog Young. We remain always grateful to have been guided by their wisdom, learning so much from each. We will continue to be enriched by the time they shared with us.
