About United States - Indonesia Society

The United States-Indonesia Society (USINDO) is a Washington, DC-based nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening bilateral understanding and engagement between two of the world's most significant democracies. As a tax-exempt charitable and educational organization under Section 501(c)3, USINDO operates at the intersection of government, civil society, business, and academia to promote mutual comprehension across political, economic, historical, and cultural domains. The organization delivers its mission through a comprehensive portfolio of educational and professional programs including lectures, conferences, and substantive discussions featuring leaders from government, nongovernmental organizations, media, business, and academic institutions. USINDO facilitates meaningful exchange through scholarships, legislative programs, travel grants, and collaborative educational initiatives that forge new connections between U.S. and Indonesian universities. By providing timely and accurate information to diverse audiences, USINDO addresses a critical gap in public understanding: while Indonesia ranks as the world's fourth most populous nation and third-largest democracy with significant global importance to U.S. interests, it remains relatively little understood in America. Conversely, many Indonesians lack comprehensive understanding of the United States despite its dominance in global news. Operating from Washington, DC, USINDO serves as a vital civil society bridge, supporting the strategic partnership between the two nations and enabling the kind of people-to-people and institutional engagement that strengthens bilateral relations.
