What American Task Force on Lebanon Inc does
Mission
The american task force on lebanon (atfl) is a non-sectarian, non-partisan, and independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Comprised of prominent americans of lebanese heritage, our mission is to educate policymakers and the public about the importance of a robust us-lebanon bilateral relationship by facilitating dialogue around common principles and issues of strategic importance.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
The organization launched a new program, the "inara project," to provide technical assistance to the usaid innovation for affordable and renewable energy for all (inara) activity in lebanon under a vendor contract.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Annual event: almost every year since 1989, atfl has hosted a gala awards night to honor the achievements of prominent lebanese-americans for the contributions they have made to their professions and society. These honorees have distinguished themselves in such fields as the arts, science, business, entertainment, public service, medicine, and law. The net proceeds from the gala allow atfl to carry out its mission.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.6M to $1.8M (+12%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
80% of AMERICAN TASK FORCE ON LEBANON INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $49k → $128k.
6 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $171k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
