What Cyber Risk Research Institute does
Mission
Applied Research and Technology Development: Advanced trustworthy AI governance, sovereign AI, quantum cybersecurity, and emerging-technology research through development of GUARDIAN and a portfolio of proprietary technologies and patent-pending innovations. Research and development included multi-model AI governance evaluation, AI and quantum ethics scoring, cybersecurity and quantum-readiness maturity assessment, and multi-model and quantum-computing consensus technologies. These technologies were integrated into the Institute's applied research, international collaboration, standards development, and public-interest technology governance initiatives. The Institute also advanced cybersecurity education, digital courses, and capacity-building programs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During 2025, Cyber Institute expanded its applied research and technology development through GUARDIAN, a governance research platform evaluating trustworthy and sovereign AI across multiple AI models and emerging quantum-enabled approaches. The program advances AI governance, cybersecurity risk assessment, cultural and linguistic sovereignty, and public-interest technology policy through applied research, international collaboration, and standards-related activities.

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 2024 to 2025, from $440k to $2.6M (+484%).
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.
100% of CYBER RISK RESEARCH INSTITUTE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $30 → $33.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CYBER RISK RESEARCH INSTITUTE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of CYBER RISK RESEARCH INSTITUTE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $63 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
