Mission and programs · 2024

• Publications: Scientific publications (journals and books) and website produced for the advancement and promotion of mineralogy, crystallography, and petrology. Some examples of the publication are: American Mineralogist, subtitled in International Journal of Earth and Planetary Materials, is the print journal of the Society, and it has continuously appeared since 1916. It publishes the results of original scientific research in the fields of mineralogy, crystallography, geochemistry, and petrology with the goal of providing readers with the best in earth science research. Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry - A series of multi-authored, soft-bound books containing cogent and concise reviews of the literature and advances about a subject area. There are 88 volumes published since 1974. Monographs and Textbooks - Single or limited authored, instructional textbooks. Elements - A full-color magazine first published in January 2005, Elements is the official newsletter of the Society. Published bimonthly, each issue also contains several thematic scientific articles written for a broad audience. Handbook of Mineralogy - A definitive modern source for data on all mineral specials. The authors of the handbook, John W. Anthony, Richard A. Bideaux, Kenneth W. Bladh, and Monte C. Nichols have made the volumes and full text of the five volumes available to MSA to keep updated and available in print and electronic forms.

  Expenses $1,485,941 · Revenue $1,237,396

• Meetings, symposia and special sessions: The Society sponsors or co-sponsors a variety of international and national meetings as well as symposia, special, and theme sessions at meetings.

  Expenses $222,826 · Revenue $72,840

• Grants - Grants for research in crystallography from the E.H. Kraus Crystallographic Research Fund and grants for student research in mineralogy and petrology are given each year based on the quality, innovativeness, and scientific significance of the research proposed by students and young researchers. Committees of the Society members evaluate the written proposals and recommend one Kraus and two mineralogy and petrology awards to be made to the Society's council, who finally approve the selection.

  Expenses $22,336 · Grants $17,000

• Short Courses: 1-2 day, in-depth instructional courses, usually given in conjunction with major meetings, they are taught by several invited speakers who also write the accompanying reviews in mineralogy and geochemistry volume. In 2024, the short course was virtual.

  Expenses $5,369

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. 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.
