CharityWatch Analysts perform an in-depth analysis of charities' audited financial statements and IRS tax filings, and often review other documents such as state filings, annual reports, and fundraising contracts during their evaluations. Below are select notes that CharityWatch believes may be of interest to donors.

According to the International Peace Institute audit of December 31, 2023 (Note 12, Donated Services):

"During 2023 and 2022, the Organization received donated professional services in connection with its programs. The aggregate value of these services was determined to be $14,763 and $7,007, respectively, and is included in the statement of activities."

[Note: CharityWatch generally excludes the value of in-kind (non-cash) donations of goods and services from its calculations of Program % and Cost to Raise $100. More information on how grades are calculated and the treatment of in-kind donations can be found on the Our Process page.]

According to the International Peace Institute audit of December 31, 2023 (Note 10, Loan Payable - Paycheck Protection Program):

"In April 2021, the Organization received a loan totaling $609,415 under the Paycheck Protection Program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. In May 2022, the full amount of this loan was forgiven and, accordingly recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022 (see Note 11d)."

According to the International Peace Institute audit of December 31, 2023 (Note 11d, Commitments and Contingencies):

"During 2023, the Organization received a Civil Investigative Demand ('CID') issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota in the course of a False Claims Act investigation to determine whether there has been a violation in connection with an application under the Paycheck Protection Program loan established in March 2020 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to provide Small Business Administration loans to businesses suffering economically as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (See Note 10). Given the current inherent uncertainties of the investigation and litigation, the Organization is not able to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an adverse outcome or an estimate of the range of a potential loss."

According to the International Peace Institute audit of December 31, 2023 (Note 13b, Concentrations):

"During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Organization received 45% of its total contributions from two foreign governments. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Organization received 30% of its total contributions from one foundation."

According to the International Peace Institute (IPI) tax filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, IPI reports re: Supplemental Information to Form 990 or 990-EZ (IRS Form 990, Schedule O):

Regarding the availability during the tax year of the organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements (Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19):

"...The bylaws, conflict of interest policy, and other internal documents are not available to the public."
