IRS990/Desc0PSA's Congressional Partnership Program is a unique program funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and developed exclusively for congressional staff. Participants attend off-the-record events with former senior officials to learn their perspectives on current foreign policy and national security problems. CPP students also receive negotiation training, engage in expert-led crisis simulations, and complete a project requiring them to work in bipartisan groups to formulate common-ground policy approaches to a current, relevant problem. In 2018 PSA ran two courses of the Congressional Partnership Program (CPP), each over 3 months. In addition, PSA hosted 3 "High-Profile" CPP alumni dinners with Mr. Paul Kurtz , Sec. Chuck Hagel, and Sec. Michael Chertoff; hosted The Worldview Series: Japan featuring 4 dinners on US-Japan Relations and a week-long Congressional Staff Delegation to Japan in conjunction with the Japanese Embassy for select CPP alumni; hosted The Worldview Series: Baltic States featuring 3 dinners on US-Baltic Relations and a week-long Congressional Staff Delegation to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in conjunction with the 3 embassies for select CPP alumni; hosted 3 dinners for The Solutions Series focusing on US Arctic Policy, responding to North Korea's developing nuclear and missile capabilities, and Cyber Security in America's electric grid for select CPP alumni.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Nuclear Security - : In 2018 Partnership for a Secure America (PSA) conducted a series of activities in support of a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in partnership with the Arms Control Association (ACA), the focus of which was supporting bipartisan congressional engagement with the issue of nuclear security. Programmatic activities in 2018 kicked off with a private round-table dinner for congressional staff, the results of which informed the writing of a report assessing expertise and engagement among congressional staff on nuclear security. In July of 2018 this report was launched to the public, followed by a Capitol Hill launch event for a congressional audience. This report launch was followed by a series of three educational briefings for congressional staff, all held on Capitol Hill, designed to educate attendees about different facets of the issue: threat environment, detection and response capabilities, and the global nuclear security architecture. Authors of the report from PSA and ACA also conducted a briefing for members of civil society through the Fissile Materials Working Group (FMWG) at a meeting attended by representatives of various organizations. 2018 activities support of this grant closed with publication of an op-ed in The Hill, penned by authors of the joint PSA-ACA report, and a private strategy dinner for congressional staff to discuss maintaining momentum on this issue in the coming year.

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0PSA was founded to advance bipartisanship on current critical national security and foreign policy challenges. The goals of the organization are to heighten public awareness of and support for a bipartisan national security and foreign policy; to bring leading Democrats and Republicans together to seek common ground in national security and foreign policy; and to accomplish the above tasks through the use of the most effective tools of modern communications. To achieve these goals PSA develops and seeks bipartisan consensus on a series of national security and foreign policy issues; works to build coalitions to support recreating the bipartisan center in American national security and foreign policy; conducts a national free and paid media campaign using the most sophisticated communication tools based on joint, bipartisan positions; and organizes national events including town hall meetings, conferences, and speaker series to support the bipartisan center in American national security and foreign policy. PSA's work is funded by donations from individuals and corporations, support from other publicly supported charities, and grants from foundations who support the PSA mission of advancing bipartisanship on national security and foreign policy challenges. PSA is a small organization with no investment revenue. The insignificant interest income is funneled back into program activities. All the activities outlined in the Statement of Program Service Accomplishments support the goals of the organization and are necessary to achieve the mission of bipartisanship on current critical national security and foreign policy challenges. General and administrative expenses are minimal in order to push as much revenue as possible toward the mission related activities. PSA continually works to broaden its donor base and during 2018 increased support from the public by almost three percentage points over the previous year and almost five percentage points over the past two years.
