Enhancing policymakers and the publics understanding of the changing global security agenda. Engaging civil society and industry in problem-solving to help fill gaps in existing governance structures. Stimson develops innovative approaches to cross-border challenges such as water management, environmental crime, and responses to humanitarian crises. At the same time, the Center plays a key role in debates on nuclear proliferation, arms trafficking, defense policy, and on regional hotspots. false false 1054784 481740 Strengthening Institutions for Peace and Security - focused on pragmatic steps toward global security, the Center places a high priority on understanding and strengthening the capacity of the institutions and networks responsible for carrying out security policies. Current programs evaluate and seek to enhance the effectiveness of peace operations; to strengthen the budgeting process for US foreign affairs and defense; to appropriately balance the resources and tools of American statecraft. 1726576 349141 Building Regional Security - Stimson's regional security programs focus primarily on Asia and the Middle East. Combining the expertise of regional and functional experts, the research agenda examines security in all its dimensions, from strategic issues to managing security at the national level, to human security and its implications for political stability. Project activities include workshops, field research, conferences, and publications. 1800401 1182413 Reducing Transnational Threats and Weapons of Mass Destruction - from its inception, Stimson has been committed to preventing the spread and use of nuclear and other "mass destruction" weapons, including biological and radiological devices. Our work educates government policymakers, politicians, policy specialists and citizens in many countries to the need for pragmatic steps to reduce the dangers from these weapons, as well as related knowledge and materials. Current projects focus on the requirements to "get to zero" nuclear weapons; engagement with developing nations to identify and advance investments that address nonproliferation goals while meeting development needs; and, promotion of a code of conduct among space fairing nations to prevent the weaponization of space. New Center work seeks to analyze and propose solutions to environmental change and challenges. 4581761 true true false false false false true false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 29 0 true 30 true false false false false false false false false false false X 19 19 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false false false false X X OKSANA BELLAS 2024783428 1211 CONNECTICUT AVE NW 8TH FL WASHINGTON DC 20036 Barry Blechman BOARD MEMBER 10.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ambassador Lincoln P Bloomfield Jr CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Duane Andrews BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Robert Boorstin BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ambassador Kenneth Brill BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Vice Admiral Kevin Cosgriff BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Andrew Czekaj BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Gary Gregg BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 France Hoang BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Andrea Koppel BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Brett Lambert BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Alice Maroni BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Newland BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ambassador Thomas Pickering BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Fred Whitridge BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Courtney Banks Spaeth BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 JOHN PARACHINI BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 KRIS BALDERSTON BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARY SPEISER BOARD MEMBER 0.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 BRIAN FINLAY PRESIDENT & CEO 40.0 0.0 X 193558 0 7605 Oksana Bellas Director of Finance & Administ 40.0 0.0 X 105368 0 12508 Michael Krepon SENIOR ASSOCIATE & CO-FOUNDER 30.0 0.0 X 131843 0 17097 Rachel Baird SENIOR ASSOCIATE 40.0 0.0 X 126435 0 15770 JOHAN BERGENAS SENIOR ASSOCIATE 40.0 0.0 X 109158 0 17403 666362 0 70383 5 false true false FP 1211 CONNECTICUT AVENUE LLC PO Box 824338 PHILADELPHIA PA 19182 RENT FOR OFFICE 781444 BenefitMall PO Box 418742 BOSTON MA 02241 Employee Benefits 214608 Community IT Innovators Inc PO Box 220278 CHANTILLY VA 20153 IT SUPPORT 103205 NTELX 1945 Old Gallows RD 700 VIENNA VA 22182 ANALYTICS 180000 4 0 3852556 3852556 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE 62412 62412 SERVICES 236 236 PUBLICATION SALES 263 263 GRANT REVENUE 1950383 1950383 2013294 10422 10422 0 0 238291 238291 0 238291 238291 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER OPERATING REVENUE 10779 10779 10779 6125342 2013294 259492 0 0 0 0 1899825 1676471 138641 84713 0 0 0 560831 496245 39228 25358 0 2281 1825 334 122 0 64281 64281 0 0 0 0 0 790658 691212 86555 12891 107548 91705 14082 1761 0 0 377940 369092 610 8238 0 116363 98859 16288 1216 0 0 148887 131074 15391 2422 23324 20523 1806 995 CONSULTANTS 571673 571178 495 PUBLICATIONS & MULTIMEDIA 177810 155695 20519 1596 EQUIPMENT/SOFTWARE 34032 20525 12059 1448 INTERNS/VISITING FELLOWS 82009 77275 4729 5 125464 180082 -57996 3378 5082926 4581761 356527 144638 165334 158323 51402 0 1178538 2452029 98077 131646 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 119663 122941 1680497 609161 1244470 1071336 463956 506054 0 0 0 0 0 33113 24633 24633 3346073 4500075 251492 366498 0 0 1259373 1225179 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19277 19777 1530142 1611454 X -511048 -599892 2326979 3488513 0 0 1815931 2888621 3346073 4500075 1042416 30274 X false true true false X 6571714 4466281 5405769 4415261 5802939 26661964 0 0 6571714 4466281 5405769 4415261 5802939 26661964 0 26661964 287030 173051 171909 248713 880703 0 179097 155313 121857 89024 73690 618981 28161648 0.94675 0.94549 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 24633 X false 1238874 220884 1017990 78797 66674 12123 362826 321603 41223 1071336 0 DEPOSITS HELD IN ESCROW 19777 19777 X 6390781 30274 235165 265439 6125342 6125342 5318091 235165 235165 5082926 5082926 FIN 48 DISCLOSURE The Center is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation.
