Mission and programs · 2024

• Speaker Series and Researchers -ACMS supported public scholarship and research through its Speaker Series and targeted fellowships. During the fiscal year, ACMS held 17 in-person and virtual lectures and roundtables in Ulaanbaatar and online, featuring Mongolian and international scholars and addressing topics including history, archaeology, law, public health, and environmental studies. ACMS awarded two Research Fellowships supporting doctoral and faculty research projects and collaborated with U.S. and Mongolian partners to host a virtual panel series on cross-border research collaboration.

  Expenses $13,215

• Resource Center and Library in Mongolia -ACMS maintained a fully staffed resource center and research library in Ulaanbaatar, providing access to a multilingual collection of more than 5,000 titles and research support to scholars and students from Mongolia and abroad. ACMS conducted library-related outreach and professional activities during the year, including World Book Day programming, librarian knowledge-sharing events, and the release of Mongolia's first Mongolian-language MARC 21 cataloging guideline. ACMS also supported major cultural heritage initiatives, including activities associated with a U.S. Ambassador-funded manuscript conservation project at the National Library of Mongolia.

  Expenses $14,946

• Language Program, Field Schools, and Study Tours -ACMS offered year-round Mongolian language instruction and an intensive summer language program and conducted three Mongolia Field School courses during summer 2025 focused on biodiversity conservation, archaeology, and community-based park management. The Field Schools welcomed 41 participants from eight countries and included fellowship support in the form of tuition discounts. ACMS also hosted multiple U.S. university and educator programs, providing immersive academic and cultural experiences through lectures, site visits, and engagement with local experts.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
