For 25 years, MEMRI has been meeting the constantly evolving challenge of bridging the language gap between the West and the Arab and Muslim world – a region stretching from the Gulf to the Arabian Peninsula to Africa, including Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkey.
Today, millions of MEMRI readers worldwide regularly access, read, view, and subscribe to our translations and research via social media, email, and our websites. While this is a tremendous accomplishment, we will be rolling out new initiatives for our upcoming 25th anniversary – not only to continue to "bridge the language gap" but to bridge gaps in far more than just language.
As a loyal reader and previous donor, you know about our vital research, translations from primary sources, and original analysis. While we know you must be receiving many end-of-year donation appeals from nonprofit organizations, we would welcome a chance to explain why MEMRI deserves your support. (If you have already donated this year, thank you; your payment is still being processed.)
MEMRI research focuses on the most recent events and developments in the Arab and Muslim world, because these have ramifications for U.S. security and the welfare of U.S. citizens. For this reason, we have expanded in recent years to cover Russia and China, with our Russian Media Studies Project (RMSP) and Chinese Media Studies Project (CMSP).
Our research assists and benefits governments, legislatures, media, and academia. We provide key research, primary source translations, original analysis and alerts and real-time information on threats to U.S. federal and state agencies and legislators, as well as governments throughout the West. Our monitoring of domestic terrorist, neo-Nazi, white supremacist, antisemitic, and jihadi online activity assists counterterrorism officials, law enforcement, militaries, and other authorities in tackling threats and preventing terror attacks. We work with media worldwide to inform their understanding of the complexities of issues and developments in the Middle East and South Asia, Russia, and China, and serve as a valuable resource for academia.
No other organization does the work that we are doing.
For over two decades, and through the COVID-19 crisis, MEMRI has remained one of the world's most productive nonprofit think tanks focusing on the Middle East and South Asia and on threats to the U.S. and the West. Our research output equals or surpasses that of similar organizations many times our size with many times our budget. In the past decade, not a single day has passed without MEMRI research being published.
As 2022 draws to a close, we are asking you today, as our loyal reader and past donor, to help us continue our essential work. We cannot do this without you.

MEMRI Publishes 10,000th Translation

Other landmarks are soon to come in more of our major series – MEMRI analysis papers and MEMRI video clips translated into English.
