Letter from Mary E. McClymont, Chair of the MPI Board of Trustees

he Board of Trustees came to the end of 2004 convinced that MPI’s mission had only increased in importance since the Institute was founded more than three years ago. In that time, MPI has established a track record of responding to the concerns of the t public and of policymakers about the crucial economic, social, political, and security implications of international migration.

MPI is guided by the philosophy that international migration needs active and intelligent management. When such policies are in place and are responsibly administered, they bring benefits to immigrants and their families, communities of origin and destination, and sending and receiving countries.

MPI’s policy research and analysis proceed from four central propositions:

Fair, smart, transparent, and rights-based immigration and refugee policies can promote social cohesion, economic vitality, and national security.

Given the opportunity, immigrants become net contributors and create new social and economic assets.

Sound immigration and integration policies result from balanced analysis, solid data, and the engagement of a spectrum of stakeholders — from community leaders and immigrant organizations to the policy elite — interested in immigration policy and its human consequences.

National policymaking benefits from international comparative research, as more and more countries accumulate data, analysis, and policy experience related to global migration.

MPI’s work proceeding from these propositions has established the Institute as an increasingly val- ued resource. Moving forward, both Board and staff will continually revisit these assumptions to ensure that we are providing our stakeholders with the best fact-based analysis, and the most challenging policy prescriptions in the field.

On behalf of the MPI Board of Trustees, thank you for your support in these endeavors and for your confidence in our work.

Sincerely,

Mary McClymont

2 Letter from Demetrios G. Papademetriou, President

hen Kathleen Newland, Alex Aleinikoff, and I decided to establish the Migration Policy Institute three and a half years ago, we set out to build the first ever stand-alone, w independent think tank on international migration. With a small group of like-minded colleagues, our aim was to embody the best aspects of Washington’s think tank culture. Fierce independence, non-partisanship, unrivaled expertise, and reliance on the best available data would be our tools — while our values would emphasize the rule of law, economic dynamism, and human dignity.

MPI has come a long way since July 2001. Starting as a small group of about half a dozen people, we are now more than four times that size. We are in the midst of our second physical expansion in Washington. Our European work has grown to account for nearly one-third of the budget, while we continue to be a major voice in the debate on US immigration policy. Integration of newcomers, refugee protection issues, the links between migration and development, and migrants’ civil liberties in a context of national security concerns are major priorities.

The Institute is now funded by over thirty organizations and individuals. It is an important source for major media outlets around the world. More than half a dozen governments at any given time seek our help in understanding the realities of contemporary migration and developing responses that are both principled and pragmatic — including, in recent months, the Netherlands and Norway, Canada and Mexico, Italy and Greece. MPI also cooperates closely with international organizations, at the regional and global levels, and with NGOs, academics, advocates, businesses and labor unions — the full spectrum of stakeholders in international migration.

Successful organizations are known for robust governance and the quality of their human resources. MPI has been blessed in both respects. The Board of Trustees knows migration issues from the inside out, and is unstinting in its advice and rigorous in its fiduciary oversight. MPI’s staff is exceptionally committed to the issues and the institution. I have never been as privileged as I feel at MPI in serving with such an exceptional group of colleagues.

Migration has shaped political and social reality throughout human history. There is no doubt in my mind that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. At MPI, we are convinced that thorough understanding and rigorous analysis can provide the building blocks for migration policies that work — for source countries and countries of destination, for migrants and their new neighbors. There can be no such thing as benign neglect — and the rewards of engagement will include thriving, complex, and diverse societies.

Sincerely,

Demetri Papademetriou

Looking Ahead

One result of the “Doyle Report” was Secretary General Annan’s call for a high-level, independent body, the Global Commission on International Migration, to build consensus about the governance of international migration. MPI Board Member Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio is a member of GCIM. MPI experts were closely involved in the evolution of GCIM’s mandate and program, and will provide substantive input to the commissioners on institutional options for governance as well as on migration trends in the Americas. Their expert papers will be published in late 2005.

30 Notes to the Financial Statements

Note A – Organization

The Migration Policy Institute (the Institute) was founded in November 2000. The Institute began operations in April 2001. The Institute was formerly the International Migration Policy Program of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, founded in 1989. The Institute is now an independent, non-partisan, non-profit think tank dedicated to the study of the movement of people worldwide. The Institute provides knowledge-based policy analysis, development, and evaluation of migration and refugee issues at the local, national, and international levels. The Institute aims to meet the rising demand for pragmatic responses to challenges and opportunities that large-scale migration, whether voluntary or forced, presents to communities and institutions in an ever more integrated world. Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting The Institute prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. Consequently, revenue is recognized when earned and expense when an obligation is incurred.

Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accept- ed in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents For financial statement purposes, the Institute considers all temporary investments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments to be held on a long- term basis are not considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from consulting and research work. The receivables are deemed fully collectible by management; therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established.

Property and Equipment Equipment is stated at cost, and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The Institute capitalizes all expenditures for property and equipment over $1,000.

Deferred Grant Revenue Deferred grant revenue consists of unrestricted non-federal grants and contracts. The Institute recognizes grant and contract revenue when the related expenditures are incurred. Any unexpend- ed grant and contract revenue at year-end is deferred.

Revenue Recognition All contributions and non-federal grants are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. Temporarily restricted non-federal grants and contributions restricted by the donor/grantor are classified as temporarily restricted net assets and become 31 Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

unrestricted when the time restrictions expire or the funds are used for their restricted purpose and are reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions.

Allocation of Expense The Institute allocates salaries, benefits, and indirect costs to the various programs and supporting services benefited based upon the estimated staff time expended in each area.

Income Taxes The Institute is exempt from the payment of Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Institute is subject to income tax on any unrelated business income. The Institute did not have any unrelated business taxable income for the year ended June 30, 2004.

Net Assets The Institute’s resources are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into net assets groups based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions, as follows:

Unrestricted – represents resources available for support of the operations of the Institute.

Temporarily Restricted – represents resources received by the Institute from contributors or non-federal grantors that are purpose or time restricted by the donors.
