Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

The Middle East Institute seeks to achieve policy impact by serving as a trusted source for non-partisan expert analysis of regional trends and events and providing programs, projects, and partnerships positioned to support the current challenges in the Middle East. It is also dedicated to promoting education and greater understanding and appreciation of the region’s rich history, culture, and contemporary art.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

The Institute integrates the work of three Centers to achieve its goals of policy impact, education, and cultural diplomacy:

1) Policy Center: MEI’s think tank produces analysis, convenes experts, and provides insight that helps decision makers in Washington and around the world craft foreign policies that prioritize peace, prosperity, and partnership.

2) Education Center: Through language instruction, a peer-reviewed academic journal, a library, and leadership development program, the Education Center works to teach and mentor the next generation of policy makers to think critically about the region and engage holistically with its peoples, languages, cultures, histories, and identities.

3) Arts & Culture Center: Through arts programming and rotating exhibitions in the MEI Art Gallery, the Arts and Culture Center showcases the often-overlooked cultural depth of the Middle East, and works to forge indelible bonds through the power of music, performance, and the arts.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
