Makes me feel less guilty about owning 3 Rolex.

Mystro · 28 October 2023, 05:24 AM

Good because Disney stock was down a bit and they own National Geographic.

hojlund · 28 October 2023, 05:29 AM

I am blessed.

I'm assuming this was to the Society, which is non-profit.

KVNNSCHNG · 28 October 2023, 06:58 AM

Epic!

Akacoke · 28 October 2023, 07:15 AM

Yup! From a proud Rolex(s) owner.

Yeah, I recently discovered Nat Geo was part of Disney, not just the TV channel but pretty much all of it.

BTW, the stock isn't down a bit; it's down a lot. They lost over 100 billion in market capitalization over the last year or so.

Pathetic organization. I don't know how you can screw up a company that owns marque brands like Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel, ESPN, etc. But that's what they're doing...Anyway, I suppose that's worthy of a dedicated thread in the General Topic forum.

Excellent. And just one day after I published my story about the recent donations from the Foundation.

...

The National Geographic Society is a nonprofit organization head-quartered in Washington DC.

The National Geographic Channel, National Geographic Magazine and other related media are managed under a joint venture owned by the Walt Disney Company and the National Geographic Society.

Disney, for profit, owns 73%. The nonprofit organization, National Geographic Society only owns 27%.

But it looks like Disney donated to the nonprofit organization. So that’s good.

I was thinking the same thing. Timely publication and good read.

The two non-profits are mum about the $value of the contribution. But it will be disclosed in the 2023 annual report.

Stay tuned…

2022 report:

Watch line item 3 if it is a pure contribution. But I’d guess it is a 20-30 year annual grant with a huge NPV figure.

Cool looking space. Look forward to checking it out once it opens in a few years

Gerry62 · 28 October 2023, 09:24 PM

Fantastic. I bought a dozen new watches, I'm proud

zengineer · 28 October 2023, 10:13 PM

I can't tell, are we outraged or thrilled?

brandrea · 28 October 2023, 10:32 PM

It’s nice to hear some good news for National Geographic after they let go the last of their staff writers.

Should we anticipate an attendant price increase?
