FROM THE PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
To our Members, Alumni, Faculty & Friends, SUMMARY
FY2015 was a year of “stabilization” for the Washington Pulp and Paper Foundation. The Executive Committee “moved up
the chairs” with Dan Hickey assuming the President’s mantle, Roger Hagan continuing as Executive Vice President and Ken
Blankenship joining the committee as Vice President.
We graduated 17 seniors in June with very good and very broad placement. As expected our students accepted employ-
ment in pulp and paper manufacturing and their key service providers but also found positions in aerospace, nuclear
safety, environmental consulting and food and beverage sectors.
Total membership contributions declined in FY2015 due in part to member caution regarding future business forecasts.
Stabilizing membership will be a priority for FY2016.
Additions of new faculty and a new lab manager will provide an opportunity to strengthen and refine the curriculum to
remain well aligned with the desired education outcomes of our members. We enjoy a very strong, positive relationship
with the department and school, and the points of view of our members are always taken seriously.
Financial Summary: FY2015 finished with a positive operating cash flow of $31,827. Consequently no withdrawal from
the Common Fund was required for the second consecutive year. Significant reasons for the positive cash flow were the
resignation of the Paper Lab Manager, a position partially supported by the Foundation, and a reduction in scholarship
expenses. The number of students on scholarship dropped due to the graduation of an exceptionally large class in June
2014. We expect scholarship spending in FY2016 to be more in line with prior years. Alumni contributions remained at the
previous year’s level.
Curriculum: The curriculum will continue to be strengthened with the addition of a new lecturer, Dr. Shannon Ewanick,
and a new associate professor, Dr. Anthony Dichiara. Kurt Haunreiter, our new paper lab manager was hired early in
FY2016. A goal for FY2016 is to make the pilot lab a viable and attractive complement to the teaching and research needs
of our members. Dr. Ewanick will emphasize the teaching core of the program and will coordinate closely with paper pilot
lab operations to amplify hands-on experience related to course theory. Dr. Dichiara will bring an emphasis of bioresource
-based materials to the curriculum, an area of growing industrial importance.
Membership: Membership totaled 44 at the end of 2015. Membership contributions decreased in FY2015 to ~$127,000,
down $37,000 from the prior year. This was due to some members asking for a year’s pause in membership and others
delaying their donations. A common cause expressed was that their firms were being exceptionally cautious about discre-
tionary spending in the face of what they considered business uncertainty. There was some encouraging news that a few
companies who had dropped membership in the past decade are reconsidering rejoining the Foundation. Attracting these
firms to membership is a priority for FY2016.
Director Matching: The Foundation again qualified for the full Director’s match of $7500 in FY2015. In the new year, a
new matching agreement will be discussed for the FY2017/2018 biennium.
Consolidated Endowment Fund (CEF) Matching Program: The University offered an exceptional opportunity to match,
at a 50% level, all significant donations to the CEF. Through the generosity of our members, alumni and friends, the Foun-
dation was able to add $150,000 plus a $75,000 match to our scholarship endowment.
Student Enrollment: Student enrollment was reduced in FY2015 from FY2014 due to the graduation of an exceptionally
large class in June 2014. Seventeen (17) students graduated in June 2015, another strong class. It should be noted that
many of our students have accepted employment outside of the PNW, e.g. Florida, South Carolina, Illinois, China. UW BSE
is being recognized as much more than a regional program by members, employers and prospective students. Enrollment
2
has leveled out at approximately 60 students for the beginning of FY2016. This is slightly below our target of ~80 and ap-
pears related to a decrease in the number of first year students entering the program directly from high school. However,
there is a complementary increase in the number of students transferring into BSE after they have already enrolled at the
UW and are seeking the “right” degree.
Alumni Affairs: Although the new “Young Professional Alumni Membership” roll continues to grow with nearly all of the
June 2015 graduates joining, overall, alumni membership continues to grow slowly. Alumni support must be an increas-
ing part of future financial stability of the Foundation. The improved website and “closed” Facebook group are drawing
more interest, especially as platforms for member companies to connect opportunities with alumni.
Annual Meeting: The 46th Annual Banquet took on a new look in a new venue – the Burke Museum. Attendance was
strong and the guests enjoyed the music of Garfield High School’s jazz ensemble as well as a chance to inspect the first
dinosaur bone found in Washington. Ed Draper (‘01) was honored as our Outstanding Alumnus and Michael Haas was
honored by inclusion on our Wall of Fame. Mark Lewis was recognized for his time as manager of the paper laboratory.
Looking Ahead to 2016: Two primary challenges face the program in FY2016: Maintaining positive operating cash flow
and continuing to attract the desired number of students to the Bioresource Science and Engineering program. In addition
to these challenges, the Foundation will be working with our new faculty and new lab manager to strengthen core
curriculum. A new Five Year Plan will be issued incorporating lessons we have learned over the last plan period.
Thank you for your support of the Foundation and our students. We are looking forward to a challenging and exciting
year.

Under Kurt’s leadership, the focus this year has been two-fold. First, with the lab’s name
change, Kurt is working to increase collaboration and support of bioresource science
projects and to expand their application to the pilot scale processes in the laboratory.
Second, Kurt has worked to increase student engagement in the operation of our pilot
scale equipment. This has not been limited to the traditional course work which, for exam-
ple, involves seniors in the papermaking class, where students engineer their own grade of
paper as well as schedule and manage the operation of the pilot paper machine. Our
students have also expanded their involvement to assisting in the redesign of the paper
machine stock approach system, improving the reliability of, and development of,
procedures for the laboratory coater, eliminating picking on the first press using new cover
technology, and rebuilding the laboratory refiner.
UW Student TAPPI has also made a new home in the center and is essential in encouraging
incoming first years and sophomores to get engaged in learning to operate the paper
machine. Breaking with tradition of only operating the paper machine once a year to
produce holiday card stock, Student TAPPI will also operate the machine both in spring for
the WPPF Annual Meeting and in fall to welcome new students.
Business operations of the center have been focused on establishing a reliability program
for the equipment and identifying upgrades that support and enhance both our client work
and support the academic program. Developments in the center and the services it can
offer member companies and other potential clients are forthcoming.
PAPER & BIORESOURCE SCIENCE CENTER
NEW MANAGER: KURT HAUNREITER
We welcome Kurt Haunreiter to our staff as the new Paper & Bioresource Science Center Manager. Kurt earned a bachelor’s in chemistry from the UW and a master’s from the Georgia Tech Institute of Paper Science and Technology. He started in the industry as an analytical chemist for the James River Corporation in Camas and then held positions as a process engineer, tissue operations manager and pulp manufacturing superintendent at Kimberly-Clark in Everett. Kurt brings more than 20 years of paper experience to the team and will be key to linking classroom theory to hands-on lab experience.
Kurt has been working with BSE students to get the paper pilot machine fully operational in
time for the senior papermaking class (Winter 2016). His goal is to have the students more
directly engaged in the process, and he has been writing new procedures so they can even-
tually operate the paper machine independently.
The Foundation ended fiscal year 2015 with annual operating cash of $31,827, a significant improvement over the budgeted cash flow deficit of $14,000. There were several key factors in this result:
Membership contributions dropped, $126,670 actual vs. $150,000 budgeted, as some companies declined to renew and two members asked for a “pause” in their contribution. Increasing membership contributions will be a focus in FY2016 for the Foundation.
Undergraduate scholarship support was $101,911 in FY2015 compared to a budget of $160,000. This was the result of fewer scholarships awarded, due to declined enrollment and a number of students being on extended internship/coop assign-ments. The decline in enrollment is an important issue for FY2016 and will be addressed by the program and the Foundation.
The resignation of the Paper Science Laboratory Manager during FY2015 resulted in a lower than budgeted expense for course instruction support ($14,297 actual vs. $27,000 budget). The new Paper and Bioresource Science Center Manager, Kurt Haunreiter, came on board in October 2015.
$29,280 was contributed to the Consolidated Endowment Fund through the Jan & Bjorn Hrutfiord, William McKean and R.P. Wollenberg endowments.
Market value of the Foundation’s long term investment in the Consolidated Endowment Fund (CEF) increased from $3,277,149 in FY2014 to $3,376,573 at the end of FY2015. Income from the CEF and Common Fund investments was $103,473, approximately one third of the operating budget. No withdrawal from the Common Fund was necessary to support ongoing operations or cash flow timing.
With membership contributions near $140,000 and only a slight increase in scholarship support from FY2015, the Foundation expects to end FY2016 with a balanced budget.
TREASURER’S REPORT
12
Mark Lewis, our Paper Science Laboratory Manager, left the University at the end of the 2014-15 academic year to pursue his passion for non-wood fiber processing and commercialization. During his tenure, Mark brought a unique perspective on all things pulp and paper to our students. He was instrumental in guiding many students into their careers and brought new and interesting work into the paper lab that served many customers very well. Thank you Mark!
APPRECIATION: MARK LEWIS
In the fall, we welcomed Professor Anthony Dichiara as a new BSE faculty member. Anthony joins us after two years with the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y., where he had been working as a postdoc. He brings an extensive background in materials science and engineering, and his research here will focus on the synthesis of carbon-based nanomaterials from biomass—with applications in multifunctional composites and environmental remedia-tion, including the development of innovative ways to improve the sustainability of the biorefinery process.
Working with his new BSE colleagues, he’s already collaborating on a project to increase the efficiency of water treatment at biorefineries looking to improve methods of cleaning toxic pollutants from the water to make the biorefinery process more cost-effective and sustainable. A related project involves working with biomass that comes from waste
management, and trying to transform those materials into high-value products to treat water at a biorefinery. The result would be a synergistic, highly sustainable waste management system that brings us closer to the long-term goal of a biorefinery that creates zero emissions and zero waste.
A wonderful addition to our faculty, please join us in welcoming Anthony, his wife Emma and son Ayden to the UW and BSE!
NEW FACULTY: ANTHONY DICHIARA
2015 ended with 44 members of the Foundation (listed on Page 7). Despite a slight decline in the number of members we continue to represent nearly all pulp and paper producers and their key service and supply providers. We were able to establish a continuing SEFS matching program for FY2015/2016 and, as a result of new contributions, receive the maximum match ($7500) in FY2015.
The key to continued success in our awareness effort will be engaging more folks to make certain our current members know their contributions are appreciated and important. We can also make more connections with prospective members if we can rebuild our awareness team. An area of particular need remains attracting bioresource-based firms to the Foundation. Many of these firms are in their start-up phase and are operating on very tight budgets. The decline in cost of petrochemical-based fuels and chemicals exacerbates bioresource-based firms’ financial prospects and makes discretion-ary spending to join the Foundation more difficult. We hope that showing these firms how the Bioresource Science and Engineering program will provide them with an exceptional talent pool will encourage their consideration of membership.
Efforts by our individual member representatives and alumni to thank existing members and make contact with potential new members will be critical as we head into FY2016 possibly facing an overall economic headwind.
AWARENESS
We continue to add new alumni members to our rolls. The biggest development has been the creation of the “Young Professional Alumni Membership” option. We have made it possible for our recent graduates to join the Foundation at a substantially reduced annual membership fee. We are pleased that more than half of the graduates have elected to join the Foundation as new, young professionals. We are confident this program will be an important piece in building our alumni membership over time.
Looking ahead, keep in mind that we will be celebrating the Foundation’s 50th year culminating at the May 2018 Annual Meeting. A goal is to have at least one graduate from every year at the Annual Meeting/Banquet. If you have not joined the WPPF Facebook group and want to connect with other alums please go to the page and request to join. It is a good way to keep up on what is happening with the program, our students and the Foundation.
ALUMNI AFFAIRS
Connecting with the right student who will seriously consider the BSE major remains a challenge. We are seeing increased effectiveness of recruiting in community colleges. Many of the high school students we want to connect with are enrolled in the Running Start program in their local community colleges. By focusing recruiting efforts on these schools, we have a much better chance of meeting the “right” student. It also appears that we are better able to establish a “champion” at the community college rather than at the high school level.
The transfer of existing UW students into BSE is also gaining more traction. Our efforts to reach out to the College of Engineering undergraduate advisors has resulted in more current UW students seeking out BSE. We have also undertaken an outreach to the UW veterans organization to make certain they know about our program as an engineering/career alternative. Our experience with veteran students has been very positive and we will reach out to other community colleges in the area that have a large military presence, e.g. Tacoma CC.
The best strategy, though, is always personal contact. If you know of a student who may be interested, let us know. If you know of an educator who would like to get engaged, let us know. When we have the opportunity to engage students and faculty on a one-to-one basis, we are very successful. To keep our enrollment strong, our members’ and alumni contacts may be the key to continuing strength. We thank Carol Barnard, Ken Blankenship, Mike Haas, Dan Hickey and Bob Russell for their time and efforts in connecting us with schools and organizing regional events.

WASHINGTON PULP AND PAPER FOUNDATION, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Organization.
Washington Pulp and Paper Foundation, Incorporated (Foundation) is a Washington not-for-profit
corporation organized in 1968 to encourage and assist the University of Washington (University) in
education and research related to the pulp, paper, and forest resources industries. Its programs
include recruiting and funding scholarships for students and supporting teaching and research activities
in the Bioresource Science and Engineering division of the University's School of Environmental and Forest
Sciences (formerly Paper Science and Engineering program).
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Restricted and Unrestricted Net Assets.
The Foundation reports contributions as restricted support if donors limit the use of the donated assets.
When a donor restriction expires due to time or accomplishment of purpose, temporarily
restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of
activities as net assets released from restrictions. Unless restricted by the donor, initial contributions and gains,
realized and unrealized, are considered unrestricted. A portion of unrestricted net assets, $150,000 classified
as unrestricted under SFAS No 117, was designated by the Foundation for a Foundation Scholarship Endowment,
the income from which is to be used for scholarships.
Investments.
Investments are carried at market value. Gains and losses on investments are reported as increases or
decreases in Unrestricted Net Assets unless their use is restricted by explicit donor stipulation or by
law. The Foundation combines restricted funds from various named scholarships when making long term
investments; it allocates annually unrealized gains and losses from these investments to each named scholarship
fund. The total return, after fees, on the Foundation's long term investments for those held in the Univ of Wash
Consolidated Endowment Fund was 6.8% in 2015 and 15.8% in 2014. The total return, after fees, for those held in
The Common Fund rate of return was 4.5% in 2015 and 19.83% in 2014.
Office Equipment
Office equipment is capitalized and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
The foundation purchased a computer and updated it's accounting software in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.
Total historical cost of equipment as of June 30, 2015 is $13,250 and accumulated depreciation and amortization is $13,250.
Depreciation on computers is computed by the straight line method over its useful life of 5 years. Software is amortized
by the straightline method over a three year useful life.
Income Tax Status.
The Foundation is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
NOTE 2 CASH ON DEPOSIT WITH/FUNDS DUE THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
The Foundation reimburses the University for office salaries, benefits and related expenses paid by the University
for Foundation activities. Deposits include funds to cover monthly Foundation expenditures, differences between
scholarship awards and disbursements, and contributions received by the University to benefit the Foundation.
