Mission and programs · 2024

• IN 2024-25, ARISC BEGAN THE FISCAL YEAR WITH THE INTENTION OF RUNNING TEN COMPETITIVE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, BUT WAS ONLY ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RUN FOUR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, AWARDING FOUR FELLOWS TO CONDUCT RESEARCH PROJECTS ABOUT THE SOUTH CAUCASUS AND ONE SOUTH CAUCASUS SCHOLAR TO TRAVEL TO THE US TO PRESENT THEIR RESEARCH AT A CONFERENCE. ARISC RAN THE MULTI- DAY WORKSHOP, TEACHING THE SOUTH CAUCASUS FOR EXPERTS, INVITING SIX REGIONAL SCHOLARS TO WORKSHOP BEST PRACTICES AND RESOURCES FOR TEACHING ABOUT THE REGION. ARISC ALSO SUCCESSFULLY CLOSED OUT ANOTHER SEVEN FELLOWSHIPS FROM THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. ARISC CO-SPONSORED A PANEL AT THE ASSOCIATION FOR SLAVIC, EAST EUROPEAN, AND EURASIAN STUDIES ANNUAL CONVENTION. ARISC HAS RECEIVED AND RESPONDED TO 138 REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE BY SCHOLARS WITH THE LOGISTICS OF THEIR RESEARCH. THIRTY-FOUR VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON LECTURES AND EVENTS HAVE BEEN ORGANIZED OR CO-ORGANIZED IN THE SOUTH CAUCASUS. ARISC HAS A BRANCH IN ARMENIA AND IN GEORGIA AND A REPRESENTATIVE IN AZERBAIJAN. OUR REPRESENTATIVES ABROAD HAVE COLLECTED INFORMATION ON LANGUAGE LEARNING PROGRAMS, ARCHIVES AND MUSEUMS, AND LISTS OF SCHOLARS IN THE SOUTH CAUCASUS FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN BUILDING COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS. ARISC GREATLY INCREASED OUR FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES IN 2024-25.

  Expenses $109,415 · Grants $35,130

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.
