The Eurasia Center

What The Eurasia Center does

The Eurasia Center is a Washington, DC-based 501(c)(3) non-profit think tank founded in 1988 by Dr. Joseph Janco and Misha Knight. Originally launched as The Center for Soviet-American Relations, it was the first organization in America to use the term "Eurasia" in its name and was rebranded as The America-Eurasia Center in July 2022. Its mission is to promote positive relations between America and the nations of Eurasia through policy analysis, publications, and conferences.

The organization operates nine core programs: Civil Society, International Security, International Education (University of Eurasia), American-Eurasian Art Foundation, America-Eurasia Business Coalition, Humanitarian and Health, Environment and Energy, US-Eurasian Relations, and Women's Program. It also publishes The Eurasia Report (since 1990) and country reports, and runs events such as the Silk Road Summit, BRICS conferences, and the Embassies of the World event. The organization reports reaching 300,000+ people interested in international affairs and claims to have served as a resource center providing analysis to US Presidents and world leaders.

The Eurasia Center is funded through membership fees, tax-deductible donations (accepting PayPal), and contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, and wealthy individuals. It maintains four wholly-owned subsidiaries (American-Eurasian Business Coalition, University of Eurasia, American-Eurasian Art Foundation, and Uplifting Africa) and runs a small staff of 11-50 employees. There is no publicly disclosed revenue or financial data, and its business model is consistent with a grassroots-funded policy non-profit rather than a commercially scaled enterprise.
