Overview

Mission

The project on national security reform (pnsr) is a non-partisan, non-profit organization established to assist the nation in identifying and implementing the kind of comprehensive reform to create a national security system for the 21st century.

What it reported doing in 2011

Pnsr ceased operations on 12-31-2011. Despite the depth, breadth, and quality of the intellectual products that were produced and a long list of distinguished supporters, the project on national security reform (pnsr) was unable to bring about the necessary interest in national security transformation to obtain funding and maintain viable operations and staff.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.

The verdict

REVIEW - 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.
