01What it does

What Pacific Century Institute Inc does

Mission

Pacific century institute's mission is to foster education, policy dialogue, and research concerning the whole pacific rim region. Our chosen constituency are the significant actors on the regional stage consisting of government officials, scholars, business people, and journalists. Pci strives to provide a forum for discussion of regional problems, to foster the creation of common solutions, to promote cross-cultural communication, to build bridges between the peoples of the pacific rim, especially focusing on gaps not being filled by other institutions, to use imaginative entrepreneurial programming to foster education, research, cross cultural communication, and policy dialogue, and to provide "seed money" to get initiatives off the ground as well as seeking partners to carry forward. All of these efforts are designed to construct a more open and harmonious future a future free from the forces of parochialism and chauvinism that have marred our mutual past.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.
