Overview
Mission
Archaeological research
What it reported doing in 2024
ARI conducts archaeological investigations in the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, and Oman, Arabia. The Arabian project began in 2014 and is still ongoing. Our investigation costs are covered by donors. Marginal funding comes into ARI periodically and is used to cover the costs of printing, computer upgrades, software, and the purchase of reference books needed for the documentation of our reconnaissance, mapping and excavation activities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
