What Sri International does
Mission
Sri International creates world-changing solutions making people safer, healthier, and more productive through scientific research & development.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Information and computing sciences (ics) performs scientific research to create solutions to pressing problems related to national security and human health by leveraging artificial intelligence, speech and natural language, perception and visual sciences, computational biology, robotics, and cyber security. Pushing the boundaries of computing, ics employs new technologies to solve client problems through contract research, technology licensing, and venture creation. Our staff members collaborate within sri, and also with various university and industry partners.
$69,672,694 spent$92,711,717 earned by the program22% of program spendingThe integrated systems and solutions division (insys) develops and transitions technology and intellectual property from lab demonstrations to fielded, supported systems by leveraging a disciplined system engineering approach integrated with certified structured development and quality processes. Our teams design leading-edge imaging technologies, novel materials and breakthrough devices for climate, energy and enviornmental longevity, and systems that end-users depend on every day.
$64,434,939 spent$87,498,346 earned by the program20% of program spendingThe advanced technology and systems division (atsd) manages complex projects for government and non-government clients from basic research to advanced systems and product development. The division advances scientific research in diverse areas such as chemistry, physics, and materials science; geospatial studies, space and marine technology; surveillance and remote sensing; applied optics and secure circuits; and robotics, medical devices, and nanotechnology. Atsd is organized around four centers: applied sciences including optoelectronic systems and quantum sensing, space and survivability including advanced radar systems and energetic materials, surveillance including rf and ocean systems, and applied technology including robotics and radar engineering.

The education division undertakes a research-based analysis of educational outcomes and reforms and the impacts of technology on learning. Researchers address problems posed by complex issues in education policy, technology in learning, and learning and development. Programs help identify trends, understand outcomes, and develop policy and practice solutions to the challenges posed by rapid social, technological and economic change. The biosciences division works with academic, foundations, government, and other clients and partners to bring new medicines, diagnostics, therapeutics and devices to market through basic research, pharmaceutical discovery, preclinical development and clinical translation. Researchers solve important problems in disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment, targeting important unmet needs in healthcare and saving and improving lives worldwide.

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 2022 to 2023, from $324M to $423M (+30%).
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: 2017 16% · 2018 16% · 2019 14% · 2020 13% · 2021 12% · 2022 13% · 2023 14% · 2024 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
15% of SRI INTERNATIONAL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (36% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 13 funders to 9 funders, grant income fell $3.2M → $1.1M.
3 of 28 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 SRI INTERNATIONAL’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.
How concentrated its funding is
SRI INTERNATIONAL leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
86% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund SRI INTERNATIONAL.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 28% · 2018 49% · 2019 58% · 2020 76% · 2021 83% · 2022 81% · 2023 28% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
48% of SRI INTERNATIONAL's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 75% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
SRI INTERNATIONAL draws 92% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 11 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $314k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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. 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2024 (financials across 2017–2024), and the filings of 28 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
