ADVANCING OUR CUSTOMERS' MANUFACTURING COMPETITIVENESS THROUGH INNOVATION IN JOINING AND ALLIED TECHNOLOGIES

  • MIDWEST OPERATIONSIN EDISON WELDING INSTITUTE'S ("EWI") FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2024, EWI HAD OVER 400 INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS, AVERAGING $74,000 PER PROJECT, AND UP TO $2,800,000. EACH PROJECT HAS VAST DEGREES OF TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYED AND ADVANCED JOINING PROCESSES. SEE BELOW FOR EACH AREA THAT EWI SERVED.SPACE - EWI LEADS THE WAY IN DEVELOPING AND DEPLOYING ADVANCES IN MANUFACTURING FOR THE SPACE INDUSTRY TO REDUCE WEIGHT AND COST, IMPROVE FIRST-TIME QUALITY, AND SPEED UP THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE COMPARED TO LEGACY MANUFACTURING METHODS.RAIL - IMPROVE THE SAFETY, FABRICATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR OF RAILS AND EQUIPMENT.PACKAGING - EWI'S EXPERTISE IN MATERIALS ENGINEERING, PRODUCT DESIGN, AND ADVANCED JOINING TECHNOLOGIES FOR MANUFACTURING HELPS COMPANIES TO CUT WASTE, CUT COSTS, AND OPTIMIZE PRODUCTION WHEN DEVELOPING PACKAGING SOLUTIONS.MEDICAL - USE MATERIALS ENGINEERING AND JOINING TECHNOLOGIES TO CUT WASTE, CUT COSTS, AND OPTIMIZE PRODUCTION FOR PACKAGE SOLUTIONS.HEAVY MANUFACTURING - IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, SAFETY, QUALITY, AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY THROUGH MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION.CONSUMER - ACCELERATE PRODUCT DESIGN AND SPEED-TO-MARKET CYCLES THROUGH APPLICATION OF INNOVATIVE MATERIALS, JOINING, AND SEALING TECHNOLOGIES.AUTO - STAY COMPETITIVE WITH INNOVATIONS IN LIGHT WEIGHTING AND DISSIMILAR MATERIALS JOINING.AIR - INCREASE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCIES, QUALITY, AND LIFE-EXPECTANCY OF JOINERY ON AIRCRAFTS.ADVANCED ENERGY - REDUCE CONSUMPTION, MEET NEW ENERGY REGULATIONS, AND GET TO MARKET FASTER.GOVERNMENT - CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT:EWI CONTINUES TO SUPPORT A WIDE RANGE OF GOVERNMENT AGENCY INITIATIVES WHERE MANUFACTURING INNOVATION IS A KEY ENABLER TO SUCCESS. EWI'S EXPERTISE HAS ENABLED THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL MATERIAL JOINING TECHNIQUES TO OPTIMIZE AND ADD FLEXIBILITY TO MANUFACTURING PROCESSES, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NOVEL MONITORING TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE COMPONENT CAPABILITIES IN METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, AND THE GENERATION OF A ROADMAP OF THE MOST CRITICAL JOINING AND FORMING CHALLENGES FACING TODAY'S MANUFACTURERS. EWI CONTINUES TO BE RECOGNIZED AS THE THOUGHT LEADER WHEN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES REQUIRE MANUFACTURING INNOVATION EXPERTISE.CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT: EWI CONTINUES TO WORK WITH A JET ENGINE COMPANY ON VARIOUS METHODS OF REPAIRING JET ENGINE COMPONENTS AND ASSISTING THEM IN NEW PART PRODUCTION. EWI CONTINUED TO WORK WITH THIS CLIENT ON NEW WAYS TO SOLVE COMPLEX JOINING AND MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS. EWI DOES NOT MANUFACTURE ANY PARTS FOR ON-WING APPLICATIONS.JOINT SPONSORED PROJECTS:EWI LEADS A CONSORTIUM OF US INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIC MATERIALS JOININGAND FORMING ORGANIZATIONS, DEVELOPING THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE US"ADVANCED JOINING AND FORMING TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP." THIS ROADMAPIDENTIFIES AND RANKS CHALLENGES IN ORDER TO PRIORITIZE RESEARCH ANDDEVELOPMENT THAT PROVIDES COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES WITH SUBSTANTIVENATIONAL IMPACT. EWI GUIDES A STEERING COMMITTEE THAT UNITESSTAKEHOLDERS FROM INDUSTRY, ACADEMIA, PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES, NONPROFIT RESEARCH CENTERS, TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS, AND REGIONAL ECONOMICDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES AROUND A COMMON VISION TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVETECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS TO THE NATION'S MOST IMPORTANT JOINING AND FORMINGCHALLENGES. UNDER THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, EWI HAS BEEN FUNDEDTO DEVELOP ADVANCED EDDY CURRENT TECHNIQUES FOR CHARACTERIZATION OFADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED (AM) MATERIALS - FEEDSTOCK AND SOLID AMCOMPONENTS BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER FABRICATION. EWI HAS DIRECTED ATEAM OF THE MOST ADVANCED ENGINEERING UNIVERSITIES AND INNOVATIVEMANUFACTURERS IN A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT FOR "IN-SITU PROCESSMONITORING" FOR AM FABRICATION THAT ADDRESSES HIGH PRIORITY FOCUSAREAS. THE EWI TEAM HAS ADDRESSED DETAILED, CRITICAL MEASUREMENTSCIENCE CHALLENGES, AND IDENTIFIED AND APPLIED SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS FORMETAL-BASED AM.TRAINING:FOR WHATEVER TECHNOLOGY NEED OR CHALLENGE, EWI PROVIDES TRAININGTAILORED TO FIT. EWI OFFERS COURSES THAT PROVIDE ENGINEERS ANDTECHNICIANS WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF WELDINGTECHNOLOGY. THESE COURSES ARE ORGANIZED INTO MODULES DISCUSSING WELDINGPROCESSES, WELDING METALLURGY AND WELDABILITY, WELDING DESIGN ANDTESTING (INCLUDING MECHANICAL TESTING AND NDT), AND QUALIFICATIONS ANDPROCEDURE REVIEW. THESE COURSES PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT MIX OF CLASSROOMAND LABORATORY TRAINING WITH THE LAB PORTION ENHANCED BY EWI'SWORLD-CLASS WELDING FACILITY.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.

Grants received

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
