Overview

Mission

ARP's mission is to harness the power of film to convene and educate key stakeholders towards improving the nation's resilience against environmental, energy and resource security threats.

What it reported doing in 2024

Films created as educational tools and leverage the networks of similar NGOs, corporate, government and academic partners to distribute the films to key stakeholders.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
