ACFR works to build cooperative arrangements with organizations and institutions involved in the dissemination of various projects, reports, etc., in foreign policy and international affairs. Such arrangements take advantage of ACFR's structure and travel and logistical capacity, facilitating outreach to key audiences in any city or set of cities in the continental United States. In addition, a cooperative arrangement is usually quite cost-effective, as costs are usually shared between ACFR's Washington office and the cooperating institution.

ACFR is willing to work with local and regional civic groups in cities proximate to its committees in securing speakers and expert participants for other sorts of civic programs. Itineraries that include both ACFR and non-ACFR cities can be arranged and costs shared.

Potential cooperating organizations should contact Executive Director Kenneth M. Jensen.
