THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES PROPOSALS TO DECENTRALIZE A NUMBER OF PENTAGON ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS, STRATEGIC PLANNING EFFORTS, AND THE MANAGEMENT OF MILITARY SERVICES. THE CLIMATE POLICY DIVISION IS DEDICATED TO INNOVATING MARKET-BASED SOLUTIONS TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES. PRIMARY WORK FOCUS IS PRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL RESEARCH FROM SOPHISTICATED POLICY EXPERTS AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING TO PROMULGATE THAT RESEARCH. THE IMMIGRATION AGENDA BEGINS WITH THE PREMISE THAT LEGAL IMMIGRATION HAS POSITIVE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BENEFITS TO THE UNITED STATES AND THAT IT EXPANDS THE LIBERTY OF AMERICANS BY ALLOWING THEM TO ASSOCIATE FREELY WITH PEOPLE FROM OTHER NATIONS. THIS PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE ANIMATES THE CENTER'S EFFORTS TO MAKE LEGAL IMMIGRATION EASIER FOR PEACEFUL IMMIGRANTS. 2664946 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false true 25 0 20 true false false false false false false X 4 3 false true false false false false false true true false false true true true false false false true true false X CETERUS INC 8005716119 804 MEETING STREET SUITE 101 CHARLESTON SC 29403 JEROME TAYLOR PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 257214 0 0 KATHY WASHBURN DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 PHIL HARVEY DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 BOB LITTERMAN DIRECTOR 2.50 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH COON SR VICE PRES 40.00 X 197037 0 0 WILLIAM WILKINSON VP FOR RESEA 40.00 X 170000 0 0 ANDREW MILLS VP GOVT AFFA 40.00 X 167500 0 0 DAVID BOOKBINDER CHIEF COUNSE 40.00 X 159828 0 0 KRISTEN DE PENA DIR OF IMMIG 40.00 X 155656 0 0 DAVID OSBORNE DIRECTOR OF 40.00 X 129316 0 0 1236551 7 false true false 3529677 120000 3529677 3529677 927579 927579 1282434 836608 126363 319463 99061 71333 18613 9115 148807 124304 5928 18575 157685 152213 3039 2433 168790 142538 10809 15443 27932 23932 1220 2780 59906 57086 987 1833 213460 170768 14942 27750 155123 126763 6939 21421 6944 5555 486 903 14845 11876 1039 1930 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 17955 13991 1793 2171 MISCELLANEOUS 569 400 169 3281090 2664946 192327 423817 478880 291130 50000 425456 18481 26823 51943 11694 16629 40249 19628 34296 583618 817954 13911 20982 102311 80989 116222 101971 X 467396 24072 691911 467396 715983 583618 817954 248587 X false true X true false X 647000 1954786 2250588 3529677 8382051 647000 1954786 2250588 3529677 8382051 2530667 5851384 6 6 8382057 X 64517 64517 2415912 2480429 274021 68505 233277 266360 274021 773658 1160487 27279 122437 64517 214233 58319 66590 68505 193414 290121 51943 11694 40249 40249 DEFERRED RENT 78114 ACCRUED LIABILITIES 2875 80989 3529677 3529677 3529677 3281090 3281090 3281090 false false false false false false false false false JEROME TAYLOR PRESIDENT 257214 257214 JOSEPH COON SR VICE PRESIDENT 197037 197037 WILLIAM WILKINSON VP FOR RESEARCH 170000 170000 ANDREW MILLS VP GOVT AFFAIRS 167500 167500 DAVID BOOKBINDER CHIEF COUNSEL 159828 159828 KRISTEN DE PENA DIR OF IMMIGRATION 155656 155656 X ONLINE ADVERT 1 120000 VALUE PER DONOR false false false FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION ESTABLISHED IN 2014, THE NISKANEN CENTER IS A 501(C)(3) THINK TANK THAT WORKS TO CHANGE PUBLIC POLICY THROUGHT DIRECT ENGAGEMENT IN THE POLICYMAKING PROCESS: DEVELOPING AND PROMOTING PROPOSALS TO LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE BRANCH POLICYMAKERS, BUILDING COALITIONS TO FACILIATE JOINT ACTION, AND MARSHALING THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF OUR AGENDA.
