Impact methodology

AARI separates students reached from students trained, submitted evidence from verified artifacts, student-reported outcomes from confirmed placements, and completed periods from future goals.

Read the impact methodology

Financial controls and governance

  • The Board operates under adopted bylaws, conflict-of-interest controls, and confidentiality requirements.
  • AARI maintains a documented 2026 annual operating budget of $107,000.
  • H1 2026 management-prepared, cash-basis interim financial statements are available for qualified diligence; they are unaudited.
  • Restricted support, donor commitments, financial support files, and student records remain in private systems.

Donor reporting expectations

Written sponsorship scopes identify the period, students supported, participation or instructional hours, expected artifacts, equipment or certification support, partner engagement and reporting deliverables. Sponsor-specific attribution is made only when records support it.

Data protection

Student-level performance, private emails, financial records and restricted documents are not public website content. Public donor reporting uses aggregate metrics unless consent and policy support individual recognition.
