### Incorporation and registrations
OpenCorporates, an aggregator that states its pages are not the primary source and that the company registry should be consulted, lists Americans for Safe Aerospace as a "Domestic Nonprofit Corporation," number N00007627058 (previous number EXTUID_4339256), status "Active In Good Standing," registered address 1620 I Street NW, Suite 900, [[Washington, D.C.]] 20006, registered agent Corporation Service Company at 1156 15th Street NW, Suite 605. The record's business classification text reads "Americans for Safe Aerospace is a charitable organization that is dedicated to aerospace safety and national security by providing public education on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and supporting pilots and other aerospace workers impacted by UAP." Its recent filings are dated March 16, 2023 ("Initial"), June 9, 2023 ("Amendment"), March 28, 2024 ("Biennial Report (2024)"), July 2, 2025 ("Good Standing") and March 19, 2026 ("Biennial Report (2026)"). The record shows ten officers, with names visible only to registered users. The incorporation date and the officers' names were not retrievable without a login, and the District of Columbia Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection's own CorpOnline entity page, which was not opened, is the primary record.[^5]

ASA's Form 990-EZ for calendar year 2024 (signed August 26, 2025, by Ryan Graves) reports gross receipts of 63,084 dollars, contributions, gifts and grants of 55,773 dollars, sales of inventory of 7,311 dollars (cost of goods sold 4,363), total revenue of 58,721 dollars, total expenses of 9,446 dollars (including 747 dollars to independent contractors and no salaries), and net assets of 2,895 dollars at the start and 52,170 dollars at the end of the year. The Schedule A reports that substantial contributors gave 45,000 dollars of the year's support; the contributor schedule is restricted from public release. The return states the primary exempt purpose as "To advance aerospace safety and national security through education research and nonpartisan engagement supporting pilots and aerospace professionals in reporting and analyzing UAP, disseminating safety information and partnering with scientific and government stakeholders to close domain-awareness gaps," and reports "over 200 reports" received through "a secure program for pilots and the public to report UAP sightings," with high-priority cases referred "to government channels including Senate committees and the [[Pentagon]] directly," and a membership that grew "from zero to over 8000 members." It lists Ryan Graves as executive director (30 hours per week), [[Haley Morris]] as secretary and [[Brad Crispin]] as treasurer (10 hours per week each), none compensated. It answers no to lobbying activities and to political campaign activity.[^2]
ASA's Form 990-EZ for calendar year 2025 (return dated May 18, 2026) reports gross receipts of 77,745 dollars, contributions of 74,508 dollars, total revenue of 75,266 dollars, total expenses of 92,750 dollars (salaries and other compensation 52,736 dollars, fees to independent contractors 2,372 dollars, other expenses 37,642 dollars including 18,516 dollars for travel), and net assets of 41,468 dollars at the start and 23,984 dollars at the end of the year; the beginning figure differs from the 52,170 dollars reported for the end of 2024 and the return refers to a "filed 2024 amended" statement. Program service expenses total 72,497 dollars. The return reports "over 800 reports," membership of "over 30,000," and the same three officers with no compensation. Schedule A reports substantial contributors of 37,617 dollars of the year's support.[^3] The IRS Exempt Organizations index lists a second Form 990-EZ filing for tax period 2024 in 2026 (object ID 202621399349200202), apparently the amended return.[^7]

The 2024 return, original and amended, listed Graves with Haley Morris (secretary) and Brad Crispin (treasurer), so the secretary and treasurer named differ between the two years.[^7] Schedule A reports substantial contributors of 37,617 dollars of the year's support.[^3] The IRS Exempt Organizations index lists a second Form 990-EZ filing for tax period 2024 in 2026 (object ID 202621399349200202), apparently the amended return.[^8]
### Founder's 2023 testimony
At the July 26, 2023 hearing of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs of the [[House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform]], [[Ryan Graves]] testified that "more than thirty witnesses have come forward and almost 5,000 Americans have joined us in the fight for transparency at safeaerospace.org," and that "the majority of witnesses are commercial pilots at major airlines."

### Lobbying and campaign records
A search of Senate [[Lobbying Disclosure Act]] records on October 2, 2026 returned no filing in which Americans for Safe Aerospace appears as registrant or client, and none of the 65 filings whose specific issues mention "UAP" names it. No [[Federal Election Commission|FEC]] committee under that name was located. FEC receipts under the name Ryan Graves belong to several unrelated individuals (Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Utah and Washington addresses and employers) and none is attributed to the founder.[^10]
